How to Choose the Right Tarot Card Deck.
So how do you choose the one that is right for you?
That very much depends on what you plan to use your tarot cards for. If you're just beginning to explore the whole "tarot" thing, then my advice is to start with a Rider-Waite type deck. These have all the classic symbolism and are very easy to use decks.
If you want a tarot deck solely for personal use and meditation, then there are hundreds of decks created just for that purpose. Choose one that reflects your personal interests and spiritual beliefs.
If you're an old pro and tarot card deck collector like me...buy them all!

The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack
The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack
Amazon Price: $12.54 (as of 02/16/2012)
In 1909, Arthur Edward Waite encouraged Pamela Colman Smith to produce a tarot deck with appeal to the world of art that would have significance behind the symbols, and thus make the deck more important than tarot packs previously used for centuries. The result was the unique Rider-Waite Tarot deck which has endured as the world's most popular 78-card tarot deck. The innovative cards, including the 56 Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. This featured, combined with Pamela Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience, has made the Rider-Waite Tarot the basis for the designs of many 20th Century packs. The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack is a facsimile edition originally printed from palates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. The deck and book set comes complete and in full-color with original Tudor Rose back design, Celtic Cross divinatory chart, and The Key to the Tarot by Arthur Waite. -- Midwest Book Review

This is one of the decks that I do personally own. It is just a really cool deck that is a "must have" for collectors or anyone that is a big LOTR fan. It is not a very good deck for doing readings and not a deck for beginners, because it really is more LOTR oriented than tarot.
