I haven't posted in this thread in quite a while, I'm sure I'm missing some since my last post, but here's some recent arrivals. I just got the Olifant deck today which was a white whale for me for quite a while. I also picked up the Cossack Council deck from one of my new favorite artists Vladislav Erko. I think the rest you all should recognize as recent KickStarter decks.

Choice !
Leo's.... mmmm Did you get the Coins .... ? Wooo mate they *are* the Neatest Coinage Ever ....
I really must do the Arcana thing too ....
Mr Erko does awesome work .... Russians do colours so well.

No, I didn't get the Leonardo coin, but did consider it. I do kind of regret it, but I need to keep things from getting out of control here! I did get the coins for Hellsgate and Aracana though, which brings my card related coin collection to a massive 3!!! Pretty sure when you hit 3 of something it becomes a collection of it's own through, right? Time to get a display and add to it!!!



Although, I almost feel the new poker chips I got from Sideshow and especially from my Dark Knight deck should count as coins too. But they don't.

That Oliphants deck is nice, eh? I have one in open but unplayed condition.

I'd love to post pics here but the file size here is too restricting. I post pics on my instagram and leave it at that.

Received these cards in purchase from EcNate

Green Monarchs card back color in direct sunlight for those who may be interested. I really like the green. Recent acquisition for me. They arrived yesterday.

I had the manager of my local Walgreens looking out for these for me. She e-mailed me that she had a deck but when I got to the store there was actually 6 so I grabbed them all. I haven't seen these anywhere else so I think the are a Walgreens exclusive.

Yeap I think they are, also grabbed that a few weeks ago when I saw it and then started it caused me to start hunting for the 6 different Pooh deck by USPCC that I could find .

I recalling seeing something on Bicycle's website that listed some decks and where they are sold - Walmart Exclusive, Target Exclusive, Walgreens Exclusive, etc.

These are the other Pooh decks, got them through eBay though.

Trying to upload pics from my phone.

One more.

Nice batch

My Blue Spirit decks arrived.

How do you like that black, I mean blue tuck?

ecNate wrote:How do you like that black, I mean blue tuck?

The tuck is vastly superior to the White Spirits in my opinion. The tuck on the White Spirits is very weak and is prone to bending. Also, the two white spirits I received had bleeding from the inside printing on the sides of cards. Not so much with the Blue Spirits. I'm waiting on the Black Spirits as we speak but as of now, I feel the Blue Spirits are the better buy in comparison with the White Spirits.

Still the tuck and backs of the Bicycle Spirit deck is still blue to me. One thing a slightly don't like is that the blue pips of the deck look black.

Are these v1?

EDIT: No. They are v4.

hikeeba wrote:Are these v1?

Not certain, but pretty sure that is v2. My older deck is black.

Looked it up on Portfolio52 - there was no picture for v1. Just saw "Series 4" on the top. Guess that answers that.

The deck I have looks like this (it's series 3):



I also stumbled upon this one searching online:



If the new one is series 4, there is still one version outstanding that I haven't seen.

I just received by Black Spirit deck. Very nice.

Top row: Full Moon standard and SE with the cool laser engraved box.

Bottom row: Sleepy Hollow flanking Gold Playing Cards by CB2. The Gold Cards are not real gold of course but the cards are gold colored front and back with no other colors present. Makes it almost impossible to distinguish them. I added them to P52. The pics of the individual cards doesn't really show the gold color which is about the same as the tuck box. The tuck has the same design on both sides.

Nothing super special but as far as feel/usability/durability goes blue seal Bikes, tally's, arrcos, etc take the cake a lot of the time. They are getting harder to find for a decent price though!

This is something I've been longing for a long time. One white whale captured.

Very nice! I've been drooling over Hermes decks for quite a while. Congrats!

Yeah those Hermes decks are gorgeous. One day, one day... Grats!

Very nice!
