[Curt] Collection
Hello,
I've just gotten back into collecting after taking a hiatus for the last 5 years or so. Just recently I have managed to get the majority of the collection (roughly 150 decks) back on display, although I still have a few new decks on order. As you can see, the David Blaine/Stutzman decks make up a pretty large portion of my overall collection but I tend to have a mix of designers and themes that I add when they catch my eye.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I will keep this thread as up to date as possible once my new acquisitions arrive.

Re: [Curt] Collection
Thanks! I am happy with how it turned out. It is just a DVD/Bluray shelf that I picked up from Home Depot for $100 but it feels pretty solid and each shelf is supposed to be able to hold 9 lbs, so it gives me a lot of storage space.

Re: [Curt] Collection
That's a great display, aesthetic showcase of decks with good space utilization. Especially considering it's just "boring" shelves

Re: [Curt] Collection
You have definely decked out that display case nicely. I was pleased to see the limited DeNovo decks. I really like that set. As you have been collecting a lot longer than me, you have some really nice sets from before my collecting days. Very cool.

Re: [Curt] Collection
Thank you, I was very excited to pick that set up. It is been quite the fun and expensive time catching up on things I have missed. I've finally gone into a KWP subscription as well, so September's package should build upon my KWP collection quite a bit.
Re: [Curt] Collection
One of the best modern collections of seen so far! I love your display Curt! The octopus makes it complete - though I think you did update the arrangement maybe you can show that as well!
Cheers Tristan

Re: [Curt] Collection
Thank you Tristan, I truly appreciate that! I always seem to be making adjustments when new decks arrive, so it seems to constantly be in movement. Once I get a few more decks in I will definitely have to move some around and post an update. Likely going to need another shelf at some point too, just no idea where to put it

Re: [Curt] Collection
Made a few changes to the main display and added on a new display area. I've got a plan for the fable deck and uncut, just need to find the time to put it all together.

Re: [Curt] Collection
I've taken some updated photos, which I posted on my Instagram last week. I was easier to use google photos to host the pictures, so I have copied the link below.

Re: [Curt] Collection
I am a big fan of them as well. I know there are other Alice decks out there I need to get but those ones really do a good job of keeping theme in an elegantly subtle way.

Re: [Curt] Collection
I've posted an update reel with the majority of my collection on my Instagram account. Some decks from last year's post have moved on to new homes and a good chuck of my new acquisitions have been from on the antique side of things.

Re: [Curt] Collection
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply, it has been a bit of a hectic time at work. I would almost be embarrassed to share that setup..... it is one of our side tables that I set up near one of the larger windows in our place that gets afternoon sun. Then I wait for some decent lighting and snap a few photos with my Pixel 5.acetofive wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 8:40 pmHi Curt, Nice photos on your instagram account.

This is definitely the direction I am heading with my collection. Although I do adore some of my modern decks, I have been bitten by the antique bug. I should have a couple more beauties showing up in the next couple weeks!

Re: [Curt] Collection
They are actually just trading card holders. Work great for when you want to display the cards without a tuck box.

Re: [Curt] Collection
I don’t know - I think they ripped you off - that deck doesn’t look recent…
I am getting that tingly feeling that says this thread may be getting dangerous for me…
As a side note, while the “gold and black” thing works - I will not rest until that octopus is holding a nautical themed deck….
PM me and I’ll shoot you a Treasure Chest deck - but only if the octopus gets to hold it
