UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hi all, I started my collection just over 10 years ago when I got seriously into magic around 16ish and a lot of my decks are from then. I stopped for a while but recently I have got back to collecting playing cards. I had so many more but I burnt through many many packs at school as all we would do is play cards.

I have a tendency to buy cards in bulk because of the massive shipping costs from across the pond, also gives me some to trade if i want to.

Anyways the following is my current collection:



From top Left, moving right

Brick of Bicycle Gold - Elite Playing Cards
Brick of Vintage Plaid - California Blue - Dan and Dave
Brick of Vintage Plaid - Arizona Red - Dan and Dave
Ritual Deck - Elite Playing Cards
Black Tiger Deck - White Pips - Ellusionist - First Edition/Printing - Standard Bicycle finish - Later editions had UV-500
Black Tiger Deck - Red Pips, First Printing, States Air-Cushion but believe it is the same stock and finish as other UV-500 decks
Ultimate Deck - Dan and Dave
Exquisite Deck - De'vo
Blades - Midnight Editon - De'vo
Tally-Ho Vipers - Circleback - Ellusionist and De'vo (UV-500)
Tally-Ho Vipers - Fanback - Ellusionist and De'vo (UV-500)

Tally Ho decks
Rider Backs
Bicycle Standards
Bee
Tragic Royalty
League Back

Welcome my fellow brit, nice collection you`ve got going Deano. I LOVE WADDINGTONS glad someone else has number 1`s and not afraid to show them off.
Are you going to take magic back up ? or just collecting decks .

tbh I'm not sure, been practicing double lifts and all sorts of flourishes recently but haven't really practiced any real performances in ages. I would need to work on my presentation a lot, rather than 'hey look at this cool trick'. but theres a real chance I will get back into it. Its time more than anything else now I have two kids.

lol I like waddingtons too, though I find their finish doesn't hold up as well as most USPCC cards for fanning, so I tend not to use them as much. Though Bridge cards are so much easier to use for flourishes
