I've been a casual collector off and on since I was a kid. Souvenir decks, that sort of thing. I also have collected nonsports trading card sets, mostly with art themes, and a couple of collectible card games.
I'm neither a completionist nor a speculator. Interesting designs and defects appeal to me, so I tend to open most of my decks when I get them. I'm also a sucker for a good grab bag sale.
A buddy mailed me some casino-used decks he found in a thrift store. Their tucks are torn, and their edges are clipped, but I think these may be some of the most expensive decks I have. Someone lost a lot of money over them, anyway On the other hand, not sure which decks in my collection I actually value most. Maybe the cheap souvenir decks in plastic boxes that I packed away after family trips, decades ago.

Re: Howdy from Texas
Welcome to UC and though I don't collect souvenir decks any more, I still have a few that mean a lot to me because of the memories they hold. Feel free to share some of your interesting souvenir decks on UC so we can enjoy them as well!
