[markjanderson] My collection...

Unread post by markjanderson »

So this whole thing started by me wandering around on Kickstarter and discovering things like Jackson's Federal 52 series of decks (Branded set of 5 decks on the bottom right and a Federal 52 Unbranded second hand deck on an Uusi display stand that you can barely see so that I didn't have to open up any of the others quite yet)...

I've always liked playing cards, but didn't realize the vast variety of art that was available in such small packages
PlayingCards.jpg
Fast forward a couple of months later and this is what it has become... (Not including a bunch of recent Kickstarter decks that will eventually show up)

Thanks a lot Jackson... :)

- Mark

P.S. I'll take some better pictures of the decks in the collection (maybe in the bunches/order that I got them just for fun) as I add to this thread.

OK, let's try this process out...
Here's the first deck that I purchased to "officially" start my collection:

I kinda have a thing for dragon's even though these 3 aren't the most exciting decks (same reason that I pledged for a deck from Dragon Dynasty on Kickstarter I guess)

I found this deck on Kickstarter, but missed the campaign since I got into this a little late...
Anyway found it available for pre-order on the creators site...

They don't have every deck available, but I thought that the prices for the more available decks seemed very reasonable.
Plus I thought that the shipping costs were fair and also liked the wrapped in black paper with the Art of Play sticker a cool touch.

Moderators, if I shouldn't be mentioning company names in these postings, please let me know.
I thought it might be nice for new collectors to know some of the different places where I (as a new collector) have purchased decks.

Nice decks ! Wish I could remember my decks in chronological order I got them. Ironically I haven't gotten the very first deck I ordered (which was on ks), any guessers ?

I really only got hooked on this stuff about two months ago and the vast majority of my purchases have been via the internet, so I've got a nice e-mail history of each order... Good thing, since I don't think I would be able to remember otherwise... :)
