We have a thread for contests, as Lara pointed out, and it was once sticky, as Alex pointed out.  The problem was the guy that was maintaining it basically abandoned it and people stopped posting contest or other content (tongue-twister!).  After it didn't see an update for months, I unstuck it.  However, if you guys are up for keeping it regularly updated, I'm more than happy to re-stick it.  Use Lara's link and post away - or we can make THIS the new sticky topic!

I say use this as the new one.  I can append the old topic to this.

Y'know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and do all that - add the other thread to this one and stick it to the top of the forum.  Keep it going this time!

EDIT:...and DONE.  Enjoy.  And keep it current!

I'll be having a contest on the Midnight Cards Facebook page tonight at 10:30 pm EST.
It's pertaining to the New ORNATES, and I'm guessing it will be a quick one.

thanks, Randy

Are there really so few contests out there, or is no one willing to post them?

Since the originator of this topic appears to have abandoned it, I'd gladly accept a volunteer to keep it going and find new contests.  Mention if they are "open to the public" contests, as opposed to stuff like the Club 808 contests which require being a member of a group.  Also mention if it's a random drawing and/or if some skill and/or knowledge is required, like a cardistry-based contest or a trivia contest with a winner chosen randomly from all correct answers, etc.  Mention any requirements, i.e., a specific deck, a video camera, a still camera, editing hardware/software, a minimum age for participants, etc.

I like that you're posting a convention notice, but this is a thread on contests.  What I will do, though, is move this to a separate thread and sticky it.  I'm in 52+J myself!

If you guys haven't heard of it and are interested in vintage decks as well as modern, you should check this group out.
http://52plusjoker.org

EDIT: some glitch isn't letting me split the topic.  I'll make a new one.

is it worth it to join 52+ J.  it seems like a old group of vintage deck collectors who desperately need some young blood.  I can't really tell cos they try to make it a secret society with a $27 fee.   wish they would give me a teaser to their forums.  i just can't make the call to join with the information they give.  i do know they are nicely nested on google search with all the exploring i have done.  they come up a lot but their website is a brick wall.

That's largely because that membership fee helps keep the lights on.  It also pays for their print publication, "Clear the Decks".  There's an web version of all the issues of CTD in the Ask Alexander database, open to CARC members.

If you have an interest in vintage decks, it's THE place to go, really.  They team up with other groups as well, like Chicago Card Collectors and International Playing Card Collectors, for some of their conventions.  Last year, it was a team up with Chicago held in Erlanger with a tour of the factory at USPC.

Now, if you have more comments about 52+J, perhaps a new topic would be in order?  :))
