I don't live too far from Gambler's warehouse, but folks in other parts of the States often get the decks about the same time.

In honor of Nantional Playing Card Collector's Day, below are NPCCD sets for 2017, 2018 and 2019. I have the 2016 around somewhere, but it is shy. I wish I could post on Instagram, but it only takes regular size photos, so these wide shots don't work on Instagram, which is a shame. Alex, this is for you.

You could slice it up and post a multi-picture post, kind of like I did here. (It works far better in-app than on the browser version.)

Seeing everyone's organized collection just makes me sad. One day, maybe. I will get organized. In the meantime, let's put one more crate away...

In typical mad squirrel fashion. I just got my Ravn IV rewards today. One Sir Ravn reward package. Tons of stuff.

It is hard to see, but there are two Ravn X Limited decks included in the reward package. I managed to get two additional Ravn X Ltd decks from Stockholm17's store, so 4 Ravn X Ltd decks now.

A recent discussion on the original Silk discussion thread brought me to an old photo I posted when I received my Red Silk deck. Included were four test decks that were a direct purchase option all the way back to the Inverted Inferno Kickstarter. Honestly, for those seeking out rare Lotrek decks. These should be near the top of the list. I think there were only 50 of each issued. It was actually supposed to be 5 test decks, but one got lost before they could be shipped. I am fairly sure they are not lurking still in Lotrek's basement, but who knows. :lol:

Red Silk and stuff1.jpg
And yes, that is 8 Silver Arabesque players decks. Why 8? First they were only $25 each originally, so they didn't break my bank per deck. The arabesque silver players decks had a production run of only 360). Plus I got 8 each of the red and blue arabesque players decks, so it worked into a nice two mixed bricks of the 3 arabesque players decks.

I got this deck awhile ago and should have posted it sooner. I never thought I was going to pick one up. While this one is opened, I am just glad to add it to my collection as it rarely comes up at anything like an affordable price.

I recently received a couple of ONDA signed uncut tucks from Jocu. I don't collect a lot of these, so I will share the ones I have (or kind if similar items).

I just remembered one more (how could I forget?)

Also, the uncut tuck of the Ambassadors series has a little story behind it. Lotrek found out after printing the tucks that the stock he used was too stiff to fold properly. So, Lotrek had to start over with a thinner stock. However, he decided to sell 25 of the original stock he scrapped and signed them.

And showing off my Patreon Top reward from last year. A framed Quartermaster #9. I am still in a bit of shock at what these are selling for. But, like the Gemini Wooden Box, only 50 were made.

This was my 2021 Thirdway Mystery Deck haul. This was one mystery brick with a TWI brick box as well as three gold mystery decks. I was quite pleased with the selection.

In another thread there was mention of Standards being their favorite design by Kevin Cantrell. However, for me it is Tavern on the Green. I managed to pick up a few when they came out.

In addition to my 2021 Kings Patron rewards, I also managed to purchase on of the very few extra Kings Minoris sets that was not taken by a pips patron. I think there were only 18 sets available to Kings or Queens patrons to purchase. This gives a bit of a feel for what a 2022 Aces package will look like I guess. I also just noticed I left off my Eye of the Ocean paperback book that I have set aside for reading...

Also to show something a bit more unique, below is a working prototype deck for the Keymaster Tarot.

This was one of the working prototypes Lorenzo used to fix some errors that are often best observed when looking at actual printed cards. Below are some examples of the tweeks made from this prototype.

When I was rummaging through my decks, I came across my Royales sets, so I thought I would post them. I really do like this set from Lee. Another great project from him.

Jocu has completed their cult series, and my final series decks have arrived. This one has definitely been fun. My limited set is #3 and my other two are #203 and #208. I haven't opened up my display set. I believe only like 60 display sets were made.
