But I want to own them. I can't do that online. I understand the point you are trying to make, but it's a weak argument.sms69x wrote: You can know all the specs you want from the internet, you can even have an online playing cards collection, you don't need to buy them
I appreciate that you want to touch the cards, but I have touched tens of thousands of playing cards, thousands of decks. I'm not getting anything by handing another deck printed by a company whom's stocks and finishes, cuts, prints, inks I have handled time and time again. I don't need decks to wow me on the handling anymore, I know what they all feel like.
I do still get excited by innovations by the printers, but I collect to own, and an important part of that is knowing the decks in my collection are mint, and valuable.
I know what my favorite work decks are, and I don't need every deck in my collections to perform like they do, as a matter of fact I don't need any of the decks in my collection to perform like that, I only need my work decks to perform like that.
