Hello everyone! I'm both a new card collector and a new member of the 52 Plus Joker club. I started collecting cards randomly in July 2016. I was looking for a deck of cards for general use, but I wondered if there was anything different than the typical Bicycle deck I grew up with. So to Amazon I went. I ended up finding the Bicycle Series 1800 cards by Ellusionist and thought they looked pretty awesome so I ordered two decks (one red, one blue). A few days after that (and before the Series 1800 decks had arrived), I was back on Amazon (because reasons) and stumbled onto the Bicycle 130th Anniversary decks. Needless to say, I placed an order for a set of those as well. It's only got worse (better?) from there. I now have ~250 decks and a depleted checking account, but no regrets. I'm happy to be a part of the playing card collector community and hope to learn a lot from all you seasoned collectors as time goes on.
