Well, that explains so much...

Received this in the mail today!

It's VERY rare I can find another collector that has this many Bicycle decks I don't have.

OK...

Since these are all recent KS decks, and i'm sure that lots of people have them... I'm assuming that just means you don't do KS?

Or are you saying it's impressive that you got them all from ONE collector? (Must have been Pierre... that guy buys EVERYTHING!

)

My money's on "there is a castle or castles in the back design for the deck".

I back some Kickstarter campaigns (10 active projects, 33 others, and 19 that didn't make it -- total of 62!)

but, I didn't back for any of the ones in the pic!

And yes, it was very impressive to get them all from one collector... not Pierre.. but yeah, that guy buys EVERYTHING

I give you a run for your money - I've backed ONE (Uusi PAGAN)

but, I didn't back for any of the ones in the pic!

I don't think I had even SEEN amy of them!

but yeah, that guy buys EVERYTHING

You say that like it's a BAD thing!

Was that because you didn't have very much confidence in the KS track record of these designers? Or did these designs just grow on you after the campaigns ended...?
Not judging, just curious!

Maybe because there is a difference between wanting to back a deck and wanting it in your collection?

I got in on the Kings Wild 'open' deal that was posted earlier this week and they arrived already today! I'm also not so sure the one I got was ever opened, but all cards were there. Score!!!

Received the frame today that I ordered for my new Federal 52 Black Reserve Note sheet:

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2014 4:24 pm**

YoYoSpin, what frame/mat is that? Looks pretty sweet. I have that exact same one to frame (along with 2 others).

The mat color is called "Chinese Red". The kit was purchased from this outfit, $94 total with coupon (MARCHSHIP for free shipping): http://www.pictureframes.com/ . Here's another coupon code that came with the frame: BB34A15 for 15% off.

22" x 28", I'm assuming, YoYo? They have pretty nice pricing, especially with the extra discount and free shipping! I'm a DIY person for framing unless it's something truly exotic like an 8 sq ft art print.

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2014 5:03 pm**

The mat is 2" wide, so the finished dimensions of the framed sheet are 25" x 29.25". The price was the best I found for a simple metal frame...bought lots of stuff from this company over the past several years and have never had a problem.

I guess you could say that I just added this to my collection...card deck display made from Brazilian Canarywood, fresh off my lathe. Serves as a pretty good yo-yo stand as well. Oh, and the Ornate deck is new too.

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:36 pm**

Very (VERY) nice, Ed! Sweet looking Brazilian wood... I've seen Canarywood before, but I don't think it was quite that yellow. That reminds me of "Guanacaste" from that northwestern province of Costa Rica that is a very blood red when done right.

not sure if this will work, but here goes.

nothing overly special but it is the beginning of my collection started since november 2013.

Posted: **Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:26 am**

Damned nice "beginning", TLZ!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:55 am**

Some of the best you have there with the Uusi decks !

the Uuso decks i bought more than 1 of each, so i could open one of each of them, and the keep the rest in their plastic covers. Did the same with the Venexiana decks, and the Erik Mana decks.

My "Black Book" card deck arrived yesterday, very unique deck.

(It's this one, in case you don't remember the kickstarter: )

Posted: **Sat Mar 15, 2014 5:46 pm**

Careful samurai - you may be in violation of CBJ's, "No Stock photos" regulation.

But thanks, as I had not seen the deck before - Nice!

Posted: **Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:52 pm**

Small T11 haul today:

I opened one of the Mystery Box decks carefully, glued back together leaving the long flap out, tapered the corners of the long flap and then cut 2 slits for the tapered flaps to slide into. Voilà - pack jacket!

Joe, I'm not familiar with the T11 "Mystery Deck" thing - what's up with that?

And I didn't follow your "Pack Jacket" origami - what purpose does it serve?
