Hello everyone, my name is Brent and I live in Carthage, MS. A year ago I had no idea people collected cards, I mean come on it's cards, you play with them, lose a few, throw them in a drawer or cabinet but you don't collect them. That's what I thought then. Around January of this year(2014) I had backed another kickstarter project (unrelated to cards) and I was browsing different projects when I came upon the bicycle Steel deck. I knew then that I had to have those beautiful cards. That got me to looking through other decks and I was blown away by the amount of artwork and design of decks. That was it, I was hooked and haven't looked back since. I've known about this forum for quite a while but I've mainly been on the United Cardists forum. I decided to participate more here after the 52+ joker convention.

Brent, we're glad to see you on the boards!

Never be afraid to ask questions - there's no such things as dumb ones.

Also - the search feature is your new best friend for performing some research on past decks.  When this board was launched, Kickstarter decks were still a new idea and it was rare that there were more than three deck projects up at once!  Times have certainly changed since then!

Please make yourself at home - you're among friends.  :))

Way to go Brent! Welcome and keep in touch. I am adjusting your profile so that you can access the private 52 plus joker board.

Welcome again Brent. My story is very similar to yours. I saw 1 deck on KS, and was hooked.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
