Sweet! I'd like to take this chance to thank the academy and everyone that has helped me out along the way. To my mum, and dad who stood by me in my early days and shagged one evening in 1978 eventually making this possible, this one's for you. And of course I couldn't have done this without the love, support and understanding of my lovely girlfriend. And of course a shout out to the man upstairs, thank you all.

PM inbound.

Middle row: Souvenirs of our trip to the lovely town of Corvallis, Oregon; found in a local bookstore

Bottom: Thanks to Will Hart's scouting, was able to locate these in the local Target.

Hi everyone,

I receive the package a few weeks ago, so I guess it's no novelty, but just got the chance to open it on monday.

Here a couple pictures of Avernum, by Passione Playing Cards:

Someone on FB had asked me how many decks I actually owned. I really had no idea, so today I gathered all the decks from around the house... and took some pics.
If you look close... you may see that deck that Pierre and I were teasing a couple weeks back.

1500 decks on the table. ( and I have around 40 or so not in the pics + miniatures)
Over 300lbs of cards on the table.
996 different decks, and the rest are duplicates.

Now to put them back in the boxes

The only deck I didn't know of was the yellow and white five star deck. I also still wanna see the second version Android deck cards.

Just WOW, that looks like so much. And then you realize they are stacked 10 high :O !!! Very impressive.

Thanks! Yeah, stacked 10 high.
When I was packing them away, I decided to take a pic after peeling away each layer.
Here's the other 9 layers...

Hey Jay, you're missing a Bicycle deck.

Pandemic is probably our favorite board game, with Settlers of Catan coming in a close 2nd.
I'm also a huge fan of Risk, and Cards Against humanity.

What is that one between Different and Atlanta 1996, above the Android? Also, what's the one in the bottom left corner?

(Referring to your original picture, top layer.)

The one next to the Different deck is the Bicycle Transducer Aqua deck.

The other one is one of the Games series of decks. You can read about them here: http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic ... 1&start=40" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I hope that helps!

Sure puts my paltry 250 Bikes to shame, but now I want to get a decent camera and stack up my whole 2,500+ decks together for a group photo!

Got a new package from Jackson in today. Bought off Instagram before he made the official Kings Wild Ink company, supposedly his first aluminum fountain pen sold. And he threw in a signed Silver Cert deck.

I've never seen so many decks in one place, wow...what a collection. You even have 2 or 3 my designs, nice.

Persistence pays (costs?). I finally found one OG Vladislav Erko deck Pekelna Harugv (oversized) for $60: (2nd deck, I mistakenly type Taras Bulba at first)

: tmp_6022-$(KGrHqRHJDoE_PvEg7qVBQSnQ(piZg~~60_3.JPG-1540309940.jpeg (124.37 KiB) Viewed 3132 times

It completes my set of all three versions, and I have one spare of the "tavern" edition (ornate red with gold metallic ink on tuck). They usually go for $60-$70, but I paid $35 each for the pair (of course I had it an hour ago and went to take a picture only to remember I moved it to downstairs). I think I have shown them before...

Finally have a few worth sharing: my Love is a Smoke and Momento decks arrived from Legends PCC in Hong Kong, I think those have been shown, and even the pair of Expert PCC's Create Magic" (David Blaine) / Microsoft 2015 Limited Edition decks that - as far as I know we're never for sale. Also, one of the 393 Gold Manifesto decks, and (not shown) one of each color of the Target Chainless & OG Bicycle 808 ("League" back, I think) decks came, thanks to Will Hart - we don't have a Target within 50 miles here.

Nice pickups, Mike! Especially the Microsoft decks.

Very nice indeed. Ikea? I think I have the same unit but with different shelves. Thanks for sharing.
