My name is Kevin. I'm a collector out in sunny Los Angeles. If you ever pass through, give me a shout!

I got into cards back in 2015 when I used to host 40 person poker tournaments overseas. Like many of you, Bicycle was my gateway point. Well, between 2016 and 2022, my hobby was sidelined, but rest assured, I'm back for good haha.

Some of my favorite modern designers are Stockholm 17, Uusi, Lotrek, Marianne Larsen and Nicolai Aaroe.

I'd love to learn more about antique collecting. If you have knowledge to share, I'm all ears.

Those are some mighty fine designers to collect, Kevin.

Whatever you do, don't start paying attention to decks by Montenzi. Or Thirdway Industries. Or Kings Wild Project. Or Randy Butterfield. Or Sunish Chabba. Or Alex Chin, Rick Davidson, the Edgy Brothers, Jody Eklund, Elephant Playing Cards, Emmanuel Jose, Steve Minty, Chris Ovdiyenko, Kirk Slater, RJ Tomlinson....

Welcome aboard Kevin.

If you like to dabble into antique @Chuqii's and @acetofive's personal collection threads (Show us your cards-subforum) here and @pipnosher's instagram are a must go to place imho.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Welcome aboard. Those are some great designers. You also ought to check out Jocu and Jack Brutus Penny. Jack has a great Kickstarter just about to wrap up, so it would be an easy way to check him out.

I definitely own some decks from some of these artists and recently back Legendarium by Montenzi on Kickstarter and it's stunning. Thanks for recommending a few artists I hadn't heard of before :)
