Arrrghhhh!!! That has been on my list for sooo long. I actually have one of the gold decks, but I want the case set and everytime I see it on eBay they either want too much for it or it just sold...lol! Good addition.

Got it for $30. Mint condition. There is a completely sealed set sitting for $60 on eBay with make an offer option.

Yep, I know of the $60 set, but I prefer not to buy from that seller. I've noticed that all of his listings are about 20%-40% or so higher than all other sellers - which is fine. He is of course free to do that....but I prefer not to engage with someone that overcharges on everything. I have patience...lol.

[Harvonsgard]

LOL... I know that feeling. For me the worst are the folks with All caps titles and buzzwords that have nothing to do with the deck. Like selling a David Blaine deck but then have anyone, fontaine and so on in the title...

Another mail day, this time from a store from the south of Brazil, Got the complete set of Rio Olympics by Copag (previously I had only the yellow deck), got another Vintage tin set, this time the Looney tunes set (I already had the Mickey set), Golf and Persian Garden by Cartamundi, made in Belgium (The boxes have the old Cartamundi logo, does anyone have an idea of when it was made?), Sportsman Series (Never seen these before, but in the tuck box it says that it was made in Cincinnati, Bicycle Porcelain and The big bang theory Playing Cards with a Quiz.

I report those for keyword spamming when I see them.

Is there an option for that? That would be splendid news.

[STLBluesNut]

I believe it is under listing practices when you choose report.

I am WAY behind on posting my recent acquisitions, so I will skip to the most recent decks I received. Will eventually post an updated full collection post in the appropriate thread!



Have only opened the Paradox deck so far, but I can't get over how good it looks. The only downside is the colors/lack of contrast on the back make it photograph poorly on my phone. Going to try getting some good shots of it with a DSLR at some point.

Love the Six Strings!

Why on earth did you get a Bicycle Genesis though?!? That is maybe one of the ugliest decks in my collection... I wish that I hadn't received mine. And I got it for free...

A late birthday gift arrived today from a lady (now a good friend) who visits fortnightly with Alfie, her golden retriever therapy dog whom I love:





The Jack of each suit is the same photo, as are the Kings and Queens; all the number cards are the same photo but each suit is different. If that makes sense!

Definitely excited to open the Six Strings and play around with them! As for the Genesis, I saw it on sale for $2, figured what could be the harm lol. I will probably never open the deck tbh

Timmargh, that is such an awesome birthday gift and just an all around cool deck! Happy belated birthday!

LOL... best line ever dropped.

Happy belated birthday from me as well, Timmargh.

[Timmargh]

Thanks, guys.

Amazing! It looks like there's some kind of finish in it, who printed?

What'd you give up? Great trade.

KWP Thoroughbred Standard, KWP Motorcycle limited, Hocus Pocus 40th anniversary and KWP Tally-Ho (turtle back).

@CollectaDeck Indeed. Super happy with these . The Noble Train are a missed opportunity though; the theme screams for KWP courts cards with war of independence uniforms or at least head wear. Still a great deck, love the back design and the ad cards.

Btw. is it ad card or add card?

Some updates with my last mails

The first one, my girlfriend got me these two in this quarantine from a local store (Kojicards) the other two are from penguin magic
The history behind is that I ordered some decks in Christmas from them but after two months not even FedEx knew where it was, so the store gave a coupon to get more decks but at that time I saw other decks of my interest, and since I didn't know where the order was I took the coupon and order the decks from the last image, and turns out that almost 4 months later the first order arrived and a few days later the other one, the thing is that the first one was probably lost after all, it not only came almost 4 months later but also the box came all busted and a few decks damaged (the silver bicycle came in smashed), but sure it wasn't the store fault, who knows where that box has been, and after all, I got both orders. Should I let them know that both arrived? the second package came in a way better condition and took only a little longer than a month (that is what is expected for an international package)

[Harvonsgard]

Cool pick-ups. I definitely want that Bocopo Maneki Neko deck as well.
Meanwhile I picked up my parcel from Vietnam that finally arrived at my place. Thanks to kasuma99 I could add these decks to my collection.

Nice ones! PVC decks can be nice sometimes, what do they feel like?

[Harvonsgard]

They are indeed very nice. Best plastic cards I've ever handled. I've written a longer review about the handling in the Tu Do main thread.

Kings Wild recently had a flash 20% off everything sale. I checked the fine print and it did include everything. So...

Daaaamn.

Oh, I actually bought it because I figured it would make a great stand for one of my Heretic IX Bricks.

Speechless...

Smart move to go for the Intaglio with the 20% off. Awesome score Brad.

Got a little care parcel from America with love...

I just received these. A certain other Finnish member on this forum got me interested in these French decks and they are beautiful indeed. These are newer print run versions, but I also have older Grimaud decks on the way. I might post them here when I get them. These are from naipeszaca.com. Shipping was a lot, but at least it was very quick and the decks were brought to my door this morning.
