Hello!

Unread post by Wesley »

New to UC + New to collecting cards. My journey started only 10 days ago and yet I find myself already quite deep in this rabbit hole. It all started with me looking for a deck of cards and after opening many doors through focused internet research I stumbled upon Thirdway Industries. Yep, I've been launched straight into a new hobby! I proceeded to purchase Egoism Rust straight from TWI's site. I then discovered the Subreddit: Playing Cards Market. I then proceeded to make a few purchases towards TWI sets. And now I am supporting Giovanni via Patreon. Wow, this escalated quickly! I am having a lot of fun though!!

Side Note - I noticed TWI just started a Halloween Sale. Are these good deals? How often does TWI have sales like this? I am interested in the SINS Trident for $39. Seems like a great price + Patreon discount makes it like $12 a deck! Well, any advice for finding deals or collecting in general would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to see where this leads!

Welcome to UnitedCardists.

Oh, you fell into Gio's rabbit hole. It is a deep one. I am not sure of the sale, but the more you are willing to spend, the more Gio will give you a huge deal. It just depends on what you want to do. If you want to buy a lot, then contact Gio. I know he likes to set up new collectors.

If you want the annual decks from the patreon for this year, make sure you paid for a year upfront.

Yeah, I saw he offers custom bundles. I will probably save up and do that in the future. Thanks!

Welcome! I'm glad you like my decks :-)

As others said, feel free to write me, via Patreon or mail (giovanni@thirdway.it) for anything.

I used to do sales quite often, usually once per season - but since 2021 I've increased the new releases - because I am offering only new decks to Patrons - so I am doing sales on "old decks" less frequently.
I do not foresee a change of this in the immediate future, so I think TWI sales will be less frequents in the future.

I confirm SINS Trident on sale + Patreon discount is really a good deal :mrgreen:

Wow, love how active you are in the community! Your decks really hooked me with their art + story. I haven't been in the hobby for long, but I can usually tell when someone pours themselves into their work and gives it their all. It seems like you are a true master of your craft. I can't wait for what's next!

Welcome aboard here.

Welcome to the weird, Wesley. Take a look at the past Deck of the Year awards to help inspire your collecting journey with the best of the best over the years. It's a great time to be a collector!
