If you are a collector, you are in the right section! I am a collector and magician. My collection currently has 130 decks. Some rare, some not. How about you guys?
-
I am a collector, but I put a pretty strict set of rules on myself when purchasing decks. My formost reason do have decks is to display them. If I do not have frames built for display then I most likely will not purchase more decks. I am primarily interested in limited run decks and vintage decks, I have no interest in trying to collect every variation of a bicycle deck ever made. I currently have about 70 decks in my collection, some of my favorite decks are my Red artifice, Tally Split Spades and my signed David Blaine White Lion that was given to me by Doug Mckenzie
-
I just got into collecting last October, and my collection is now at 89 decks. I think I'm doing pretty well for a kid who has only been collecting for a little less then a year and who only makes $14 a week.
My rarer decks are my brick of Red Artifice, 20 decks of v6, and 8 decks of Jaqk.
-
wow why do you have a brick of the artifice? I am starting to collect some. have 2 unoped decks for my collections. maybe 20 decks in total. but most of my money goes to my bills.
-
Collecting since June/July. Probably got about 50 decks. Got some nie stuff, might make a video at some stage.

Tried to upload a video of decks just learning how this phone works.

You're lucky so many collecting resources are available now. I remember when I started, I made so many mistakes. I opened duplicate decks for the sheer sake of opening them. I invested into getting a plastic deck of cards. I bought cards available in Target and Wal-Mart at Theory11...man, if I could undo all that, I would have at least an extra $500 to spend on some decks.
Keep in mind I only started last August. It's astounding how much the community has grown in a year.

Ya, i wish there was like a playing card angel whispering in your ear saying, "Don't be dumb those deck are cheaper elsewhere" i will never forget buy a brick of bikes for around 40 bucks at walgreens when i could of bought a brick of any better than bikes for about the same.
I will also never forget when i use to have the idea, "Red and blue decks aren't the same so open both."
But the best i think of all time, "Well i opened my package of E decks might as-well open em all."
-
yeah I bought a few plastic bags another crappy also I know that I need only open 1 of the day keep 1 for my collection

Oh, I've made a few mistakes here and there (£30/$47 for the Zippo set. Found it for £19/$30 the next day... on the same site) but I'm still suprised how easy it is to find almost anything.
-
I have about 100.
I own all E deck except black ghost v1
I have all S&M color but no v2&v3
All crown decks
All wynns
Oh I can't list that all
...
-
I have about 50-70 decks, but I just started a few months ago. I have quite a few rare decks, but other than that, it's pretty much your average deck collection.
-
well i hope one day my collection is where your guying are at.
-
you'll slowly work up to having a lot of decks.
-
Yea. Collecting is something that will be better over time. Soon you will have a lot more.
-
i have barely any cards, but i have to spend $240 AUD to get my uncut sheets framed, the framing costs more than the sheets $120 per sheet but all i have which is slightly collectable is bee stingers (red) deck one: industrial, black tiger red pips, shadow masters, tragic royalty. nothing too fancy, but soon I'm going to add a couple vortex decks to my collection, v6's a v4, a league back, and 4 727 banknotes (two red/2 blue), and 8 Tally's, and 2 random which i don't know what I'm getting (getting them from my buyer in Feb) but Tally's (2 red fan/ 2 blue fan(2 red circle/ 2 blue circle))
-
wait is the vortex deck uncutt sheet not framed?

The uncut sheet usually come in a tube.
If you wan tit to be frame, you have to frame it yourself.
-
there might be an bundle option in kickstarter that comes with a framed uncut
-

Maybe but it will be very limited and very high price.
-
so its rolled up like a poster? what are the dimension? i will look for a frame.
-
Its weird, I started out as a good collector. I was very smart abou which decks to buy and which not to buy. My collection is only about 130 decks which i have done in a year. All of my decks were worth it and werent stupid to buy.
-
so its rolled up like a poster? what are the dimension? i will look for a frame.
Yes, it will be roll up, you might made a frame for it by yourself, cause shipping with the frame is ver expensive I guess. It's too bulky.
-
There will be an option to buy it framed I believe. It costs more though.
-
i havent got votex uncut, one is a deck one industrial, the other is bee stingers red uncut sorry for not pointing that out
-
I have a Smoke & Mirrors v6 uncut sheet and a DeckONE Uncut sheet. I hope to get the Vortex uncut sheet
-

i was asking if they frame uncut decks. and they dont.
-
I think there will be an option for a framed one. But it will cost more

SHipping is free to the U.S....... also it is only $8 to international ship

yeah I know but I think the bundle with the framed sheet would be more exspensive to cover the shipping costs.
