Exact same sentiments. Got 2 blacks and 1 red and wish I had picked up more.
I have a few extra in both colors that I'd be willing to sell/trade. I'm really interested in picking up some of the Federal52 series if anyone has any they're willing to part with. Still kicking myself daily for missing Part One!! :oops: Anyone interested can PM me.

Well, some people tell me that I'm colorblind, but I think green just isn't a real color. That also explains why I couldn't find it anywhere.

I just figured this would be easier. I don't always post new decks I get....

So... here are the decks in my personal collection ( not including duplicates, bridge size, or miniature decks ). 546 different decks in this picture.

Ok, so I'm guessing you don't have them on display like that. I'm thinking you get them printed out high res on quality photo paper to scale with peel off sticky backs. Cover an entire wall with them mural style. Just add to it as you go. All your decks displayed yet safely packed away and no bulky and expensive display cases to deal with. Silly good Idea there. Could probably sell the printouts too. Go ahead and run with that CBJ. :D

EDIT: Love the pic BTW.

I don't have them on display... I would imagine it would take a lot of wall space to display them all.

hmmmmm.... a sicker mural...

I wonder how much it would cost to literally build a room of cards. A house would probably be too expensive.

Here's a few Decks that we got at the Chicago Playing Card Market last weekend. They were a small, but very nice, group of collectors. They showered our kids with all kinds of Decks like the four in the top left! I like the Black Velvet one because it was the first alcohol I ever had in High Achool, and it goes great with my day job of designing for alcohol clients. The Civil War style Deck is pretty cool!

I'll post more about the Chicago Playing Card Market in it's Thread later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks, Randy

Here are all of the Bikes currently in my collection (I think there are 204)

(I think there are 200).

The four blank/black areas on the left are Bikes I have (or had) but never scanned the box. They are Phoenix, PhoenixMiniature, and two RiderBackMiniatures (I forget which colors).

The blank areaat bottom/right is because the number of Bikes I have is not evenly divisible by thirty (the number of decks in the other rows.

The decks are in alphabetical order starting from the top/left.

Those are a lot of bikes! I have to keep my obsessive self under control while looking at this collection. A few months ago I decided to stop collecting every deck I see, but I love seeing pics like this. Cool!

And this was a bit of fun - Lego pirate minifig deck :)

It's hard to see but the box has the same red skull and bones as the card back in red foil.
The other suit's courts are just recolours of those show here.
