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

[MagikFingerz]

Oh no. I saw only the good things about the factories in Asia, but this is part of the plan, isn't it? Taking over the custom playing card market - just another scheme towards Asia's master plan: controlling the entire world economy!

Got these in today.

[Mike Ratledge]

Yep, my Jules Verne uncuts show that they are up at the PO waiting for me to pick them up. Nice, I like... I noticed that they apparently decided to undo the "only 100" uncuts for Club 808 - at least they are still on sale as of me checking. You'd think they would use their sense, but - no, can't do that...

Have any pictures of the courts been released?

I thought I took some earlier, but I guess I didn't. I'll grab some in a bit and post them.

Here we go.

Ooh, suicide by telescope! Looking goood.

Nice haul, Jay!

That is one awesome collection!

I am envious!

Hmm... What is that deck between the Crown deck and the Sultan?

Excellent stuff! I was really impressed by the Lincoln coin that RJ did with the "Civil Unrest" decks: it looks like a 'frosted proof' if anyone's into collecting coins, which I used to be as a kid. It looks like it came from the U S Mint, seriously nice coin. KoK is great, too. I don't think I showed them before, or it got erased?

For all the hooting we gave RJ, he turned those decks around amazingly fast...

Insane as always CBJ. I have like 20 decks. I couldn't even make a corner of your collection:)

[Yashi]

I can only assume that CBJ's pictures are a google earth screen shot.

[CBJ]

You're correct!

Excellent coin collection - if you want to keep them nice I can't recommend AirTite capsules enough!

I'm not sure there are enough decks to qualify as collection but it's just a start.



And the latest : Requiem prototype deck, Noctis style box.



P.S. : Sorry, the pictures are not the best but I'm still new with that.

[Mike Ratledge]

The first one is already a treasure, and the 2nd may be unique. It's a handcrafted single tuck prototype deck.

Hey, we all start somewhere. And you started with rarities. Very nice.

[Firthetic]

Great start to your collection, Njall!

I got some decks today, including gifts from my friend's sister who just came back from the UK.

[chach]

A second Folio Society deck? Hadn't seen the Clare Mackie one before, what's it like?

[Firthetic]

Yeah, I think it was released before the Jonathan Burton Odd Bods deck. I actually have another set that's opened - will take some pictures for you when I get home today.

Yes please!

[Firthetic]

As promised, here are some photos of the Clare Mackie Folio Society deck. Please pardon the quality - I have really bad lighting in my room.

[Eoghann]

Awesome. The style reminds me of that old Beetlejuice cartoon.

As I believe I have mentioned here a time or two, the bulk of my entire collection of more than 2,400 decks of playing cards is in thirty or so BCW storage boxes, most of which are out in our garage.

Lugging them into our house is pretty difficult/awkward for me, but two days or so ago, I "bit the bullet" and brought one of them inside (no mean feat, given that I only have the use of one hand/arm, and am confined to a (motorized) wheelchair, but I did it!

I just picked one of them at random (they aren't labelled, that would make too much sense), carefully pulled it down using my one good hand, and tried placing it in my lap.

No good, my lap is quite small for some strange reason (my big gut), so I balanced the box on end, placed it between my feet on my wheelchair's footplate, negotiated the ramp up and out of the garage and into the house, back to my "office" (a spare bedroom where my computer and desk are), cut the tape on the box, and opened it - whew!

These boxes will each hold around eighty poker-sized decks, but the one I had picked contained only about fifty decks, due to the odd sizes of many of the boxes (double-deck sets and such). I looked through all of the tucks and such, and picked out ten decks to share with you.

Here they are, in alphabetic order, with only minimal comments from me, as I am bushed:
