I'm sure there will be a lot of overtime to get things done which I know those dockworkers will be looking forward to.

Thanks Don and Tom. I have been learning a lot from this forum for quite awhile before I decided to become a member of this community. I was just looking for the right time to do it.

Don, I know what you mean about working in a job that is unionized and then doing that same job non-unionized in Texas, a "right to work" state. The working conditions was like night and day. I felt like a slave doing that job in Texas. I was a cable technician at the time for a major cable company in the NYC area which is unionized and transferred to Houston, Texas. You went home when your supervisor said it was time to head back to the shop. Doing that job when it gets dark can be really difficult to perform outside not to mention that you won't have happy customers when you arrive past a certain time. I don't think I'm allowed to discuss the company here so that is the most I will hint at that.

Back to the topic, at least the good news is that the West coast port workers finally reached an agreement and things will eventually get back to normal which is especially good news for all of us in the playing card world. No more long delays or rerouted ship routes to get fulfillment from EPCC/LPCC. Yay  :D

Hi. Just wanted to know if the Golden Spike, Black Ink set and the Hive, set of two are still available? I'd like to purchase them.

Thanks

Today is the deadline for the ports and the port workers to reach an agreement. Does anyone think this is going to happen or will they be headed to Washington? I guess that's a pretty good threat, "Get it together or you'll have to come be bored to death."

I really hope it does. The ships are stacked up like Legos.

Hopefully so. The worst thing that could happen is that they lose their jobs and they get replaced like President Reagan did to the air traffic control personnel. I wouldn't think President Obama would go to that extreme though.

Hello, my name is Alex and I am from New York City.

I have been collecting playing cards since I accidentally found some advertised on Amazon and then from there discovered where they were being sold. After purchasing from several major sites like T11, E, D&D, CA, and also from eBay; I eventually found out about Playing Card Forum and learned about Kickstarter. My collecting has gotten so overwhelmingly addicting and I have been backing quite a few projects.

I'd like to say this all started from June of '14 and I have been following this site sometime afterwards. From time to time, I follow Playing Card Forum to keep myself up to date with everything going on in the playing card universe.

So now I finally decided this was the right time to pull the trigger and join this forum. I am looking forward in conversing with you fellow card collectors from time to time.
