Hello everyone!
I've been lurking on the forums for a few months now and thought I should finally introduce myself. I've been collecting art prints for over 10 years now and last year, I was given an Ultimate Deck by D&D as a gift from a friend and was blown away by the art in the deck. I picked up a Dark Suits deck and Black Rock V2 deck shortly after that and have been searching high and low for V1 and V3. At around this time I discovered kickstarter as well and fell in love with the designs of Uusi, Jackson Robinson and Chris O. and now, I am a full blown addict and don't care for help or an intervention. I've spent the past couple of months catching up, buying all the decks that I missed out on to add to my collection and have probably spent over $1500 on cards (and I thought collecting art prints was expensive). My family pretty much thinks I am nuts but I'm ok with that. My buying habits are pretty straightforward. If the deck has something about it that I like, looking at it makes me happy, and the price is reasonable to me, then I'll buy it.
Being new to the hobby, this forum is a great resource for me, keeping me up to date and helping me make informed decisions on what to buy. This is a happy place for me here on the internet and I look forward to coming back here every 10 minutes or so to make sure I don't miss out on anything fun.
Now I'm off to sleep.
Hello finally!

Re: Hello finally!
Welcome! Dark Suits was one of the decks that I first got started with as well. It's quickly gotten out of control for me too and my family doesn't get it either, but really it's NOTHING compared to some of the others on this forum!

Re: Hello finally!
I saw that at the top last night and had to take a moment to compose myself. It definitely made my day. Those things are almost impossible to find these days. will definitely get in on a deck or two.volantangel wrote:Oh dont miss out on BRC V3, mike (the owner) is trying to bring some in for us forum members !
The Dark Suits deck is definitely one of a kind. The art is so unique and unlike anything I've ever seen before.ecNate wrote:Welcome!
