Comparing the 1929 Knapp Hall Deck to the 2020 Knapp Hall Deck

- Hey look! I'm featuring a deck that *isn't* an RWS deck! Will wonders never cease?
My 1929 copy of the Knapp Hall deck is one I lucked into through a work friend. But to be honest, I don't know much about this deck yet. I bought it because I recognized the opportunity as one of those once in a lifetime deals and figured I could spend the rest of my life doing additional research and study on the deck. I didn't want to be constantly handling a nearly 100-year-old deck, though, so I looked to see if I could find a more recent printing. Lo and behold, I discovered that the Philosophical Research Society, the organization that currently holds the rights to the deck, still prints copies. I got one of the last copies of the current print run, and I thought it might be fun to compare these two decks, printed 91 years apart.
When the Philosophical Research Society restocks this deck, it can be found here:

UPDATE! It's back in stock!
Thanks for this walkthrough, very interesting and I'm glad to be able to see ALL the cards. Many esoteric decks use a similar version of the arrangement of the pips, though this one seems to have its own spin on them.
I just purchased one!! Thanks for the walk through and comparison!💚
what an opportunity. i think the value has risen well above $1,500
Hello - great video. I actually purchased this deck from PRS a couple of days ago. The decks available are not reprints, but back stock they found - please refer to their IG post:

To me this deck is a hybrid between the Oswald Wirth Tarot (1889) as it has the same titles and Hebrew associations and the B.O.T.A Tarot (1920) as it has a similar representation on the pip cards and also addresses the concept of The Cube of Space.
To my understanding the first card in this deck is how the major cards align with the Tree of life - I believe it was the Oswald Wirth Tarot (1889) that first displayed this card diagram.
It is a great deck and a perfect hybrid between Pip, TdM and RWS traditions.
It was good to see the original and the current edition side by side - I am also not a fan of the current backs - but I can overlook that because the art work and card meanings are so good.
Kind regards,
Kenneth.
That book is easy to find. Also I'll make do with my 80s USG version til they reprint it!
They have reprinted it! I filmed this a few months ago. I just checked the PRS website, and the tarot decks are back in stock.

As always, I love your sharing these historic decks. It adds to the community discourse. I am much relieved however to find myself not drawn to this one as you state it is unavailable.
I don't understand why they didn't translate the card titles....just my two cents.
