Hello 53rdSpirit!
Great collection, and fascinating alias (if truly it be such).
I'd love to compare notes sometime on the great variety
of various "Rider" decks~ and the differences in Quality.
Hope to see you around this wonderful forum, provided
by our amazing host, and thanks for an interesting post.
Meilleurs Voeux!

She is a Great President, and appeareth in the Form of the Bird called a Thrush at first, but afterwards she putteth on the Shape of a Woman carrying in her Hand a Sharp Sword. She seemeth to answer in Burning Ashes, or in Coals of Fire. She is a Good Disputer. Her Office is to give unto Us the Understanding of all Birds, Lowing of Bullocks, Barking of Dogs, and other Creatures; and also of the Voice of the Waters. She giveth True Answers of Things to Come. She was of the Order of Angels, and now ruleth over 30 Legions of Spirits. Her Seal is this, which wear thou, etc."

As much as I love the old Rider decks, it's quite disappointing to realise that since the first editions the quality has been steadily reduced, first the depth of colour, then the card stock, worse colour with lamination, and today... it may be bad manners to accurately describe what is being marketed as a Rider anymore.
A box of Cheese NIPS that sells for $2 is printed better. Junk mail is vastly superior. A self-respecting printer would never publish the way that has been increasing "acceptable" since the mid-1970s, with a zero-reject attitude, and quality out the window.
As an example, look at The King of Pentacles. Who ever would believe Pamela Colman Smith painted with such absolute disregard for how (and IF really) a particular detail might be coloured? The crown is lost in a smash of colour splotches, and bluegray dots pass for half the grapes. Sky and foliage alternate blue and green. And we see this on almost every card, in some way, shape, or form.
It would be a dream come true if a reputable publisher would engage a qualified artist to recreate Pamela's "Gouache, Pen & Ink" palette, go back to a before point in the decks creation, before Rider's printer converted the art to what suited their presses, and make a version of this wonderful deck the way it surely was, and surely it was nothing like it has been for so long.
