  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
...the new moderator of the Playing Card Plethora - Sparkz, a.k.a. Tony!

The decision to choose Tony, despite his limited experience as a card collector, was influenced by his experience moderating other message boards as well as the excellent job he's doing with his own website on card collecting.  I'll let Tony expand upon that if he likes.  I'm looking forward to seeing new and exciting things from him very soon!

Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions for the new moderator?  :))

Congratulations Sparkz! Very well deserved.  Moderate with an iron fist and an open mind  8)
Starting to get better...have to stay dedicated...can't lose any more cards in the middle of a trick.  Literally, completely lost a card.

Wow.........I just jumped in during luch and saw the post title not expecting to read this, lol.

Well let me thank the powers that be for their confidence in me, I'll do the best I can. As Don mentioned I have moderated forums before as well as been and Admin and so on, so I'm familiar with the job. As for Playing Cards, I've learned a ton in the short time I've been on the site, but I know I'm only scratching the surface. There is always more to learn. My activity on this board as well as my site and the recent Articles/Interviews are very much in the "Labor of Love" catagory. I have to say that out of all my past collecting adventures, this is by far my favorite and I've had the most fun with. From the decks themselves to the community, it's been a great experience that I hope will continue for a good long time.

Thanks again to everyone, if there is anything I can ever do for anyone or question I can answer, please don't hesitate to ask.

Tony (Sparkz)

Very pleased you agreed to take this on. The mods do a lot of work for little tangible reward - so I hope you get lots of good feelings and satisfaction!
PS - Sounds like pretty good advice from HandSkillz

Thanks Tom, with hobbies and collecting it's mostly about good feelings and satisfaction or there isn't any point in doing it  ;)
