Pre-U.S. Games edition of the Rider-Waite deck. Basically the same as your standard USG edition, except perhaps for slightly deeper coloration. The card backs are pink-and-white striped, with the Albano-Waite ankh symbol in the center. The first printing was released in a red slip case; the second, in a standard cardboard tuckbox with a pink interior. Subsequent printings used the tuckbox, but did not have the pink box interior.
