Received mine today. I opened one of the Classic editions. Beautiful. The foil is gorgeous. Handling is a big deal to me and I have to say the Cartamundi B9 is fantastic. The extra boxes are a nice touch. Great job on what must have been a difficult process.

I've done that a bit. Sometimes I get caught up in the hype. I'll pledge for something, especially if I can get an early bird just to make sure I get in. Then I'll usually go back and evaluate it a couple of weeks later. If I find it doesn't "spark joy" in me, I usually have no problem un-...

Harvonsgard wins the thread!!!

I think licensing and show longevity are always going to be issues. Have you thought about creating your own characters and story for a deck? You certainly have the talent for it.

Well, my name is still not on the list and I haven't heard from Pip so I guess I'm out of luck this year. Seems like there are more winners than there are prizes anyway so I won't be the only one. Still appreciate all the hard work Pipchick put into this and congrats to all the winners. The giveawa...

Beautiful collection. Thanks.

I voted but I don't see my name on the list anywhere. I've emailed Amy but haven't heard back yet.

I like the idea but you are going to have to add some real contrast for the pips and numbers. At first I thought these were the card backs. Only after zooming could I see the numbers in the corners and it took even longer to see the pips. Perhaps fade the background and really add contrast or a diff...

Chris, if I ever win or buy cards from you, please do not pack them yourself

STLBluesNut: Recently, the past month, I have been carefully removing the entire seal and sticking them into a little notebook writing which deck they came from below it. That was not my idea, someone else posted here quite some time ago that they did that. I start by carefully lifting a portion of...

The King of Hearts is super creepy. I love it. At first I was shocked and thought it was mistake and her hand was covering her mouth. Then when I realized what it was, I got a chill. I agree that this is one of the more creative versions I have seen. One question; is the hand using her fingernail to...

These finally made their way to our small town. Checked two stores but only one had them. No big display, just 3 hanging in an aisle. I bought them all and will be checking out all the 7 Eleven's I come across in the next few days. Maybe I'll be lucky and find the Collector's Edition.

These finally made their way to our small town. Found a display like the above. $3.99 each and I bought 3 of each color. A nice surprise to start the new year.

Will Roya at Playing Card Decks has these for $9.99. You can usually get 10% off just by leaving the site. Great guy to do business with if you haven't already.

The big picture:

2,199 Elite points since holiday season 2016. Worth about $7. But hey, it's free and spinning the wheel is fun.

Found on Ebay and gifted to me for Christmas. Produced by Dalvey of Scotland this is a round deck carried inside a brass container. The container looks like a pocket watch. The idea is that one, perhaps a riverboat gambler can always have a deck, in case a card game should suddenly break out. The wa...

My Secret Santa gift arrived well before Christmas. Sorry for being so late to post it. Great decks. I've been wanting the Dead Man's Deck forever. Many thanks to Santa. https://i.imgur.com/8S7eGPE.png I enjoyed this exchange although I obviously did not quite understand the "secret" part....

I see what you did there.

Dog is super cute. Thanks for posting.

Going to try to get mine sent out tomorrow. Thanks for being patient person who doesn't know that I am sending these to you.

1. Free Spin
2. Nothing (cruel joke)
3. 100 pts
4. 100 pts
5. nothing

Have been doing this since it started and still do not have enough points to actually get a deck with them. This could be the year though.

Seconded. WJPC in a non-starter.

The new KoS looks great but doesn't project the eerie evil of the others. She's more like a hot librarian...not that there's anything wrong with that. Hey, future project idea!

Wow. I don't notice this type of thing usually until someone points it out but that really jumped out at me. Disappointing, I'm sure.

A quick look at the spread sheet shows that almost every deck listed is from a Kickstarter project. There are many fine decks that did not start on Kickstarter so perhaps a Best Non-Kickstarter category would be appropriate. Since KS has such a large following, especially here, it's tough for a non-...

Thanks for the heads up, Victor. Just placed an order with Vanishing Inc. for this and the other decks you mentioned. Free shipping over $45 wasn't hard to accomplish.

Very cool.
