[Jock1971] My Collection

[Jock1971]

That's awesome!
I love the Coca Cola collection very much.

Hiya nemonelson Thanks for checking my thread out. Coca-cola decks are no easy to find over here so i`m glad i got a joblot at a good price early on in my collecting, i`ve only managed to add a few others since

Jase, your decks are always so diverse and interesting...it is always a joy to look at your thread! The only problem is that everytime I do, I end up spending more money because I want a lot of the decks you show! Out of curiosity, where do you find most of these wonderful specimens? The two I liked the most out of your recent decks were the Alice and Wonderland limited deck (which I was able to pick up one for myself ) and the Basler deck. Thanks for sharing!

Hiya Shermjack Thanks for having a look at my cards and sorry ( i think) that you spend more than you want to after looking in.
99% i get my cards from e-bay, mainly U.K sellers but sometimes worldwide my modern decks are mostly cheap e-bay purchases or Kickstarters (but i`ve not been backing many decks lately). i don`t know what to say.. i don`t really go out looking for specific cards on e-bay ,i just browse about a bit and if i fancy any i`ll put a bid on....
I think i get good deals because i`m not too picky about what condition the tuck box is in or if there are any jokers in the pack,that kind of thing , i`m just interested in cool cards ,most collectors want close to mint as possible.

Anyway here`s some more cards i hope you`ll like.
First up a reproduction deck called "Floral" produced by F.G &Co in 2003. The original pack was produced by Rock Brothers & Payne from Britain in 1861. The traditional suit signs have been substituted by Roses,Pinks,Violets and Hearts-Ease.

Aren't the 2 part slide boxes for those FG & Co. decks nice? I wish they had been more successful with those. Would like to have seen more beautiful repros by them.

Like shermjack I'll have to keep an eye out for that Basler. Add it to the long list

Why does the Picturesque deck have 2 aces?

Hello my friend , Sorry for the late reply as i`ve been a bit busy lately.
Yes i love the F.G &Co cards, i`m only familiar with the 2 set that i have and no nothing about the firm or any other decks they made , but will give any of their sets a second look if ever i see them. I`m pretty impresssed with the Il Meneghello Packaging as well.... Some really beautiful sets out there.

Why does the Picturesque deck have 2 aces?

I`m not sure about that one??.. i have a few ideas and speculations but nothing definite and i don`t really want to give out false information if i can help it....sorry

Hello back, my fine feathered Scott

Il Meneghello does do up their sets beautifully. They also pick interesting/odd subject matter for their own decks, like that mushroom arcana you have.

Nice score on the Chapman transformation. That King of Spades is a really handsome court card.

I understand entirely about not wanting to divulge information you can't be sure of. That's a good policy I wish was more broadly followed on the internet. I'll be gone for a while but I look forward to coming back and seeing everything that has been added here, and elsewhere on UC. Keep it coming

[BlueToy]

Loving that Hungarian folk deck. I see you've fallen for the spell of Meneghello tarot decks harhar their stuff are really nice - they generally choose quite interesting topics, and experiment a lot with dimensions, card stock, box type, etc. I highly recommend their La Corte dei Tarocchi. I heard tell that if you visit their store in Italy, Osvaldo Menegazzi (the owner) actually sometimes makes boxes for the visitors.

Hiya Bluetoy
Not quite fallen for the meneghello spell ,although i do have one other
I had my eye on the Mushroom deck for a while and when i came to buy it i decided to get another deck, interesting you mentioned the Le Corte dei Tarocchi as i was nearly going to buy that one, i kind of like the medieval vibe it has but i bought this one instead (Maybe get the Anna Maria D`onotrio deck some other time )

The Mamluk cards were discovered at the Topkapi museum in Istanbul by L.A Mayer, who in 1939 wrote a treatise on this deck. Later scholars now agree that Mayer was wrong on several points regarding the Mamluk cards.
Unfortunately Jan Bauwens ,the publisher and writer of the Booklet (in French) was not aware of the corrections made to Mayers assumptions. Despite suffering is some regards from these mistakes this pack is an excellent reproduction of the only arabic playing cards exstant and the reconstructed cards fit well with the originals and overall design.
