Title: Hello!
Post by: istheis on February 17, 2021, 09:50:59 PM
Hey everyone!  My name is Joey.  I currently reside in Hershey, PA and I, like many others, have picked up card collecting since the start of the pandemic.  I've played cards my whole life- euchre mostly- but didn't realize until recently the massive variety of decks being made or the rich history that connects them all.  I was looking for a quality deck of cards for a Christmas gift to my brother and after seeing the selections available from KWP, AoP and Bicycle I was instantly hooked.  Since then I've gathered a modest collection and have tried to connect to the online card community as much as possible. I found out about this forum while watching through the 2020 virtual conference over the past few weeks.  I was really blown away by a lot of the presentations especially those of Patrick Varnavas and Rory Rennick.  Anyway thank you guys for being sowarm and welcoming, I'm excited for the future of playing cards.

Hey, welcome to the forum!  If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask.  It's great that you found us through the virtual convention - it turned out to be a pretty big hit overall, and we're likely to continue having some combination of virtual and live events going forward.

On the calendar at the moment would be our next convention, a live one, being held in Niagara Falls, NY in October.  Stay tuned for more details as they become available!
