Very nice haul - especially the Culture Animalis.

Nice set!
the Brazilian currency lost 20% of its value internationally this year, so buying decks got 20% more expensive for me in about 2 months, so, before local stores reajust their prices I decided to buy a couple of decks around here from the KojiCards store, they shipped yesterday and arrived today, fast shipping, well packed and at the same price as in their official websites (for now). I'm still expecting a few packages from orders from last year, but will problably stop buying decks for a while now

Brazil you say...doesn't Copag print all their paper cards out of Brazil since that is where Copag was founded? I started collecting with Kem (hence the name) but I also collect Copag - but plastic only. I ran across someone from Brazil that collected their locally produced paper cards and they seemed to have a wide selection. Maybe we could trade some decks.

The plastic decks are made in Brazil, also the Standard (cheap) paper decks, the good paper copags are made in Belgium (They really should upgrade their Brazilian factory and produce the good ones here also, after all it's a local brand), I have a lot of the paper decks, but only two plastic sets (A few weeks ago I posted my Copag collection here).
Recently I looked at the U.S. copag website and you have a larger selection of plastic copags than we have here (and all of them are made here)

I really like the style on the tuck box, would have been awesome if it were a regular deck in that kind of style. I wonder what the card back looks like?

I just came from customs and picked up my supply of 7-11s :D . I oddly like these decks and since we don't have any 7-11s here I have to import them.

I love the 7-11's also - must be the color or something. But even I have to order them off eBay since there are no longer any 7-11's in my part of the US.

Let me know if either of you are looking for any 7-eleven decks, I can make a trip! There are like four or five 7-elevens within 20 minutes of me.

The card back of the Bali deck is interesting, some designs of these souvenir decks should be made in a better printer
Nice find that Snoopy Museum Tokyo (I ordered the Astronaut snoopy from Japan, it'll probably arrive in a few weeks).
About the 7-11 decks. they were available only at the U.S stores? Last year I went to Canada and found only the blackjack deck (cartamundi).

Wow, really? didn't realize that. I took the link from my google photos, apparently, Harvonsgard was able to see them.
I'll try to upload them again.
This was the last mails pics:
Antler and Voyager decks from Koji Cards
Mario deck (nintendo), Mononoke (studio Ghibli) and Bicycle Astronaut snoopy from Amiami
And all my Studio Ghibli decks, all from Amiami.
