I came across this today... wasn't sure what thread to share it in.
So, I figured the most popular thread would work.





tsk tsk... shame on him

Okay, here's my latest acquisition:

==========[ Bicycle_CallOfCthulhu_RedBack ]==========

...I have a GreenBack one that should get here tomorrow or the next day.

[volantangel]

Picked these up today w thecardcollectors at a brilliant price, any guesses? Most of the decks have the slightest of bumps (which is perfectly fine to me) except the treasury, hornet, and silver ss

ps. Johanes, you truly make me feel like getting a huge mat and studio lighting to take photos of my decks, awesome photos

Today's acquisition is possibly the most beautiful Bicycle deck I've seen:

==========[ Bicycle_Butterfly ]==========

From its gorgeous Art Deco-influenced tuck box to its color-coordinated (and also art deco-ish) "human butterfly" courts, to its spread-friendly, fan-friendly back design, this one beautiful deck!

[Naxx]

Nah. Only "good" stuff I bought is Oriental deck for $10, majority are sold out at that moment.

I agree these are beautiful, but I think you meant "art nouveau".
I picked up a couple myself.

[RSLancastr]

[quote="SharpieI agree these are beautiful, but I think you meant "art nouveau". [/quote]

No, I meant "Art Deco" - I was just wrong.

My Art Major friends would disavow any knowledge of me.

New stuff:

[RSLancastr]

Nice! I've got four of those nine, Strag.

[dazzleguts]

My latest additions, from both the used and new markets.

Used first (from local thrift stores). These cards are usually like new because they were looked at but considered too nice or odd to be played with. Sometimes the boxes are worn. The Arrowhead deck on the left is from Gemaco but designed by G&H Assoc.. The Ukiyo-E deck is made by Angel Playing Cards Co. of Japan. The vintage skat deck in the middle is in a faux leather case and I think made by Altenburger und Stralsunder Spielkartenfabriken of Germany. The round vintage deck is of the Fairy Brand from Hong Kong.

New decks have been rare lately since I am cutting back, so just these 3.

[decksparadise]

wow! All the decks posted are looking great!

[siegismyname]

Bought these at M&M's World at Vegas. Great souvenir to add to the collection but not practical. I like it nonetheless.

[RSLancastr]

Love it!

I once had the idea of creating courts using the m&m characters. Never thought to do it with a round deck, though...

[Fluffykitten]

Wow you guys have some amazing collections!!

I am waiting for my orders from theory11 and ellusionist

I don't have anything near as nice. I think my best decks are 2 signed green call of Cthulhu and 4 green unsigned onces. But that's about it.

[Strag]

Finally managed to procure a copy of this interesting transformation deck. Now the big question is, how long can I keep from opening it?

Really nice set with a coin and a booklet.

[RSLancastr]

That's a nice deck, Strag. I seem to recall that my copy is missing the coin.

Any more information on which deck this is? Is it available anywhere?

Strag, it's funny that you post this, since my next deck will be a circus transformation deck

MJF, the deck is Robert Schick's Circus Transformation Playing Cards. Only 1,000 were produced and so far I've only seen them on ebay.

Oh, are you not doing Broken Wings any more? Not that I mind, definitely want more transformation decks from you!

That is for the gilded deluxe version with coin, booklet and box as shown in my pic. They go for $30-$80 on eBay (I got mine for $32). I do believe there is supposed to be a non-deluxe version that is less but I haven't seen it available. Looks nicer in person. Made by Carta Mundi in 1988. Pic of some cards:
