The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread

[Kdklown]

Here are the decks I was referring to..

Trusted Since 1885- The Hedge Deck
Quality Since 1885- A Great number of the 200 scans you looked at
Since 1885- Truth Garden
Nothing- The rest of the 200 scans you looked at
Empty banner- Call of Cthulhu
I already mentioned 8 bit and White Rabbit

I never said I grabbed any decks, I said I looked at a handful.
I guess I should qualify what I looked at. I have about 200 decks in my display cases at the moment. This is about 1/3 of my collection so I concede that thats more than a handful. I didn't intend for it to sound like I reached in a barrel and pulled out 6 random decks. I see that the term handful could have been misleading. Hope that helps to clear it up. To my original point I don't think USPCC cares what if anything is on the banner below the logo.

[RSLancastr]

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. You have 600 different Bike decks in your collection, or 600 decks, period? Nice, either way!

And I am certain that USPCC cares what slogan goes in the banner. Just try getting them to print a deck with something like ""**ING ****S SINCE 1885" and see how it goes.

Okay, back to scanning cards from my latest haul!

I'm thinking USPCC need some more of there own artists or new ones. They mostly make normal cards then change the colors but how much more can they do that? Great job on the Cigar deck. The Sideshow Freaks and lady on Speakeasy deck were from a company called Traction. Zombie decks were ok.

[volantangel]

Just some stuff i got awhile back =)

[Firthetic]

Picked these up at a nice price from a fellow Singaporean who's giving up card-collecting.

[RSLancastr]

Nice haul, Firth!

I think the only one of those decks I already have is WarOfCurrents!

Period not all bikes. I would agree that USPCC does care to some extent. I don't think the slogan listed above would qualify. Took me a minute to decipher that code.

Why, what's wrong with "SELLING DECKS SINCE 1885"?

Okay, here are my Grids for today's haul:

The Griffin deck is one of the Club 808 exclusives.

And I know what you mean. My wallet resents me everytime I visit that website.

FINALLY!!! I have been in love with these cards since the first time I saw photos.
The Bicycle Federal 52 is now my favorite deck... it is stunning!

Jackson has set the bar high... very VERY high. I'll try to take more photos over the weekend.


































Thanks again Jackson for getting these out so quickly!

[RSLancastr]

Well, the box is lovely - how are the cards?

[Verloren]

I can't remember what I ordered for the Fed 52 series. =(

[Eoghann]

Oh wow those are incredible! I'm already way in over my budget with part 2 but when September hits ill be getting part 1.

[CBJ]

Well, the box is lovely - how are the cards?

The cards are amazing!!!

I have a busy few days ahead of me. I'll try to take more photos after the weekend.

But, if you can't wait... here are new pics that Jackson took of the cards

I thought he was going with a different seal

I don't like that seal, it doesn't fit the rest of the deck. That being said I have been checking my mailbox daily for my decks. Can't wait to break open a pack.

[RSLancastr]

Thanks! I wish he had taken closer shots of the cards, though.

[jmrock]

This is a late 1800s / early 1900s advertising piece that measures approximately 11.5" tall, 8.5" wide, & 5.75" deep... I love it & hope you do as well... I just threw in Jessica as she is a new addition as well...

Nice, jmrock! Oddly thick, though.

Here is one I have always WANTED to add to my collection, but is waaay out of my budget/league:

@RSLancaster: Those cards are gorgeous!


So I decided to go thrift store shopping today. Look at all the goodies I got for just under 5 bucks:




Happy to say the little electronic devices work like a charm.
A 1980s sealed Air France deck
A common Tally Ho deck.
TAG body spray promotional deck
Norman Rockwell Trump sealed deck
1978 Sea World deck


My favorite has to be the TAG body spray deck. For a spray that's meant to woo the ladies, I have NEVER seen such an indifferent and depressed set of Queens!

[MagikFingerz]

Nice haul, Eoghann!

[RSLancastr]

Eoghann: You got ALL of them for five bucks, or EACH of them for that much?

EITHER way would surprise me, though for different reasons.

Haha. All of them actually. The decks were bundled in packs of three labeled 99 cents. Not pictured is an empty tuck case for a Marlboro deck. I managed to talk the second bundle down to 50 cents because of that. The mini roulette and slot machine were 3 dollars for both.

What would be the reason for surprise? Did I just stumble on some serious cash? Haha

[RSLancastr]

What would be the reason for surprise? Did I just stumble on some serious cash? Haha

Not as far as I know. But even if it is all junk, it's a LOT of junk for five bucks is all.

I was sorta picturing it in a 99 cent store, but had not taken into account that some of it could have been bundled together for 99 cents.

The planets must have aligned today because I very rarely find anything of worth in thrift stores and for such ludicrous prices.

[RSLancastr]

To me, the only consideration I have when looking at a deck's price is "Is it worth that much to me?"

And, of course, "Can I afford it?"

If you can answer "yes" to both of those questions regarding your thrift store haul, (Was it worth that much to you, and could you afford it), then I would say that the planets did indeed align for you today, and congrats.
