Back when I was a kid we could only play cards in the daytime and shuffling was very difficult since they were all just rocks - luckily someone invented paper and fire along the way.

From the Wiki:

“Tony Tony Chopper, also known as "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper, is the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Senior Officers of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. He is the sixth member of the crew and the fifth to join, doing so at the end of the Drum Island Arc. He was temporarily forced to join the Foxy Pirates during the Long Ring Long Land Arc, but was quickly returned to Luffy's crew.

Chopper is a reindeer that ate the Hito Hito no Mi, a Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a human hybrid or a human at will. He was taught how to be a doctor on Drum Island by his two parental figures, Doctors Hiriluk and Kureha. His dream is to one day become a doctor capable of curing any disease and wants to travel all across the world specifically in the hopes of accomplishing this dream.”

And yes, that is his pink hat sticking out from under his blue helmet…

It is amazing how decks are like an invasive species, they just crowd everything else out and overflow onto every available surface.

It’s Murphy’s law that you never have enough room for decks - at least that’s what my neighbor claimed when I tried to annex his rec room to put cards in, and his name is Murphy - silly law in my opinion…. Where does he expect me to store them? In his shed?

Don’t really consider this part of the card collection and it lives in the magic book pile, but as these types of cards never get the slightest bit of respect (and deservedly so, as they come in a long accordion strip with perforations to tear them apart…)

But perhaps they deserve their 5 seconds of fame - as this Mark Wilson book is a tiny gem, and can still be had for under 5 bucks on Amazon ;)

I’ve had it forever - might have picked it back up along the way out of nostalgia. Tricks are child’s level obviously.

Might as well give the others a nod - all good stuff, many must haves - but I could fill a few more shelves with must haves…

Since I’ve taken the magic side trip, I have acquired a few magic coins along the way - and I doubt I’m done acquiring, but they will need to invent something new first :)

The extra scenic aces are beautiful. Not all Four Corner packs have them. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, the reverse on your pack is also decorative.
