Hey y'all, I've been reducing the size of my collection for quite some time now. Here is my final collection - the one I plan on keeping until I'm old. All of these decks either have personal meaning or are somehow rare/vintage. These are only my sealed decks, not my open decks (of which there are hundreds...) My collection used to be over 5,000 decks, and now I think it's less than 100 sealed, and about 200 opened.

Yes, all of these are sealed, in cellophane (if they didn't originally come in cellophane, I sealed them myself in the same cello that USPCC uses!)

I used to know the print date of each deck but I've since forgotten. :(

I'm actually quite curious to what the Baofeng No.99 deck is?

I've never seen that vintage Maverick. I love the tuck design. Very cool

My grandma got it for me because she heard I collect cards. It's a Bee knockoff deck made in China and handles surprisingly well. By no means what you'd expect from USPCC, but it was a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

While they're not the most expensive cards (you can buy them for $3 here), they're definitely interesting.

Baofeng No. 99

Don't you mean "The yellow honeybee Baofeng playing cards Texas playing cards explode the artificial flower with gold-foil three countries to kill poker full 12 to deliver 1"?  ;D

Yeah at first I thought they were just horrible knock-off Bee's (and they kind of are). I expected weird plastic flakes and flimsy paper when I opened them, but to my surprise they felt like a thinner Maverick deck from the USPC today.
