New Collector

[pcggamer]

Hi everyone,

I have browsed this site for a little bit now and decided to join up. I have been collecting cards for a little while over a year now. I have a collection of about 35 different decks, along with some poker chips and coins. I am currently living in Seoul, South Korea (I am in the military) which makes card hunting a little more difficult. I enjoy going to brick and mortar stores to hunt for decks. I find a lot of enjoyment in the search and finding of new decks, that more than likely comes from another collection I have, antique Coke products. There is nothing more I like to do on the weekends more than visiting antique stores and thrift shops.

Hey Tanner,
Welcome to UC (officially)! Thanks for coming out of the lurking shadows. It's definitely fun to come across a rarity in real B&M stores. Are you a vintage deck collector, or more into the new stuff? Either way, it's easy and addicting to start stacking up the decks. Beware, this is a self-help group for addicts that don't want to be cured...

I started out collecting the newer decks, was mainly focused on awesome artwork with the Bicycle brand. Now if it is a new deck I am looking for all original artwork for the court cards and hopefully custom pips. I am browsing around looking at vintage decks, but I would rather come across those while out searching in the stores, looking on-line just take away some luster for me when hunting older items.
