I like these too. Makes me wonder if a pub or tobacco shop somewhere in the UK still has a "trade" jar on a shelf somewhere.

I woke up early today and couldn't sleep so I decided to scroll through your collection and it was a real treat! Thanks to you, I've added the Murakami deck (plus the uno deck 😮‍💨) and the Junaida one to the wishlist. My poor wallet gets no reprieve from this hobby 😂

and Wall’s Ice Cream, Hulk 1979, picked up the pair to help with the 15 GBP shipping, both sets cheap enough to make that matter, which is nice…
