Hung out with a friend and fellow collector today. He's a guy that I think has really good taste and I keep pushing him to try to get an account here.

Anyways, for $3 he sold me an item that tickled my fancy. Its a single card from a deck of playing cards that only get handed out to special guests aboard Air Force Two (the Vice President's private plane).

Not exactly a one hundred year old deck, but I thought I'd show you guys something I got a kick out of.

Hey guys, I'm Bill. I'm 21 and I was born in Cincinnati, OH so I guess its a convenient place to grow up loving playing cards. I've been collecting cards for a big part of my life now, but haven't had money to spend on it up until relatively recently.

My favorite deck of cards are the D&D steamboats (though I don't think they are quite like the originals) even though I'm usually more into collecting commemorative or advertisment type of decks.

I really am kinda shocked a place like this exists, for a long time I've kinda been doing the collecting thing as a way of investing what little I made in allowance and now I'm surrounded by people who are living their dreams with their artwork and other people who share this great past time.

I love everything about this hobby from the smell ofresh paper and ink, to the artistic nature, even the history of playing cards is fascinating.

Anyways, I look forward to meeting all of you.
