Finally got my Verana and Inverno from Alex Chin Seasons Playing cards series.
along with the Primavera and Seronda that I missed in 2012.

Nice grabs!  :D  Aren't they some kind of gorgeous? I just received mine as well and I couldn't be happier. Alex really did a wonderful job on them.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Nice picture! Unfortunately I did not make it in time to get the special edition, but I look forward to receiving the standard editions, which are anything but standard.

Excellent pick ups Wolf :D

Those diamond finish cards really are the best thing going today -- quality wise, nothing even comes remotely close to diamond/master finish. Whether you use those cards are keep them sealed, enjoy having them as part of your collection!

I received a deck this week... and whilst it's mediocre in terms of quality (after all, it's USPCC) I hear that it's quite rare. It cost me less than a lot of the decks that I've sold on eBay (such as Ellusionist limited editions -- the recent ones), and so I picked it up for the heck of it.

It's the "Run" Bankroll edition.

With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

Good Catch  ;)
I didn't really like Run Deck, after I tried the standard edition so never decided to gather the other 2.
But still good catch though. How much did you pay for it? as far as I know it is quite expensive.

Got these in today...my first kickstarter pledge that I have received since getting into cards. 

I like how the spades on the case look like garlic cloves :)

So I finally got my Whispering Imps set from the 52 plus Joker auction (lucky me, I won the Auction by a margin of $5, ehhehe). I could sit and stare at them all day. These cards are going to take front row, when I get my Orbiter displays, that's for sure.

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.

I paid $45 a year ago, plus 3 or so dollars shipping.
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

That's nice.  Do you know what EVAN paid?  Y'know - the guy who "just got" his, so I can know what they trade for now and not a year ago...  :))

Just busting your chops.  Actually, the price comparison between last year and this year will be useful info.  So thanks for that.

I can tell you Evan got it for less than $60, there were a few sold on e-bay around the $60 marks as well.
Do you know the price for last year??

Whoa Hankman!! Where did you get that whole lot from for that deal?

When I went to Taiwan I found a seller who is selling these cards, since it is not very popular playing cards are sold less than half price compared to anywhere else.
I paid the tendril for just under $18 and that is a bloody deal

So, about a third higher in a year.  Damn, that's good for a deck, even this deck.
