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.
