Thanks.  I just ran out and picked up the Universal Waite Tarot.  It's small,
about 3 x 2 in for the cards, clost to regular playing card size which is what
I'm looking for.  There weren't to many choices for small foot print decks.
Some of the decks were down right huge gettin glose to 6 in long.

Not good for fitting into my game bag. ;)
