[Timmargh] My collection so far

[Timmargh]

what is the darker red jetsetter deck on the right?

It's actually black, but the person taking the photo was wearing a red shirt and it reflected in the carat case.

Sorry to disappoint!

[Timmargh]

I received from Gio a few days ago and am pretty damn chuffed with them, especially the Pantheon Caelum, which is the one I initially enquired about after seeing it in his Instagram posts.

Eva Noire


Pantheon Azure


Pantheon Caelum


Sins Black Anima

[Bradius]

That is cool. Awesome stuff.

After seeing the Cartes Indiennes deck in a PipChick Instagram live some time ago, I set out to own my own deck. After finding the reproduction for a pretty reasonable amount in April, I managed to bag the original last month and it only cost me an arm and two legs; it is in incredible condition, though:

[Timmargh]

… and is arguably better than the reproduction:

(Original on the left, reproduction on the right.)

Reproduction? More like an attempted remaster

Thanks for all the pics!

[Timmargh]

Before the Cartes Indiennes deck appeared on eBay, this deck pinged the "B.P.Grimaud" radar and was listed as unopened, so I bought it … and then opened it.










Fun fact: I get the very occasional (i.e. about once a month) muscle spasm. On an unrelated note, guess what happened as I was trying to cut the tape in a straight line (below)?











Silver gilding on the corners only.

Very nice - congrats, both on the finds and on your ability to open sealed decks

I have a half dozen decks I wish I could work up the courage to pop…

I was the same; I even sold* my Golden Oath back to the original seller because I couldn't bear to open it and it felt wrong to keep it without doing so.

The way I see it now though is that I'm happy to open any deck that I intend to keep because the value means nothing if I never intend to sell. I have a trade list for everything I want to get rid of and everything else will get opened when I get round to it.



* well, traded for a House of the Riding Spade Cartomancer v1 uncut sheet

Dooo ittttt

[Timmargh]

I bought these from Etsy; I'm a sucker for decks with the number/letter in place of the pips, and this has both. They were a bit steep at £15 but *shrug*.

[Timmargh]

AND!! I got these from a really nice guy in the RLLE Facebook group:

Which makes my current Bona Fide Nouveau collection (please excuse my flexing):

[Timmargh]

This was my Christmas present to myself. The box has seen better days, but the cards are in good shape (if you ignore the dodgy cutting on the joker).

[rousselle]

Wowww.

[brownsl]

Very nice!

[Bradius]

Very nice. It is hard to go wrong with a Louis XV deck. So nice. I also really like your Bona Fide collection. I am only missing the first edition's limited decks, but have a nice set of the remaining decks and the standard first issue. I wish Karen would put out something again She is so gifted and such a nice person.

Agreed. Her site has been "under maintenance" for such a long time I'm beginning to wonder if it will come back at all.

This is my first King Star deck and I love it: The Cloud and Sea - Grey Fox.

[GandalfPC]

Grey fox is one of my favorites as well

[Timmargh]

Flower Moon Clothes from Decksrock arrived today:

[Harvonsgard]

Holy freaggin' lord... That Karin Yan collection is breathtaking and gorgeous.

[acetofive]

I was gonna say, Yeah, these are really nice. Then I started scrolling back, and thought, So are these...and so are these...

[Timmargh]

My Shiki Kickstarter goodies arrived today and I like. (Only got a few pictures as the lady helping me didn't have much time.)

[GandalfPC]

I went pretty whole hog on the Shiki campaign, but topped out and didn’t manage to score the silvers

An obvious error on my part - should have taken a night job

[Timmargh]

The Literary Tarot deck finally arrived and it is sooooo nice!

These photos spectacularly fail to capture how much gold there is on this deck — anything that looks yellow is actually gold:

[Timmargh]

Along with my Royals Limited Edition, I opened my Varius Teal deck today:

[Timmargh]

The Classic of Mountains & Rivers v2 by Kingstar.


[Trigger warning] Apologies for the non-consistent order of the court cards; I didn't realise what my friend had done until I was checking the photos just now.

*eye twitch*

Also, she missed a suit.

This is my first King Star deck and I love it: The Cloud and Sea - Grey Fox.

Wow, I really like the Grey Fox cards, I have some King Star, but don't like just any of them. These are really nice, will have to find a deck.

[Honeybee]

I opened my Varius Teal deck today:

Thanks Timmargh, your Varius pics look so much better than those that suppliers are providing online.
I am assuming they look that good in hand in natural light.

Oh yeah, especially when you catch the reflection. Lovely cards.
