Playing Card Plethora / Dan Dave Variety Box Encore
« on: September 22, 2012, 04:48:55 PM »
With Little Fanfare for once
Dan & Dave have released another variety box
Another chance at Game of death for those who missed the last 3 or don't want the stripper.
Split spades I guess are ok
and an octopus deck
The Ebay prices for these decks add up to more than the asking price....

I just feel like I have seen this box before

I guess that is why it is an encore


Oh yeah a link

The Conversation Parlor / Jerry at 70
« on: August 04, 2012, 07:33:35 PM »
This weekend (Friday) marks Jerry Garcia's 70th Birthday.
There may be people here at this forum who have had their lives changed by Jerry, the Grateful dead and the music they brought to us.
There may be those of you who could care less
And there may be those of you who have never heard of the man.

But to me...
I will always be thankful for the time I spent listening and learning.

To Jerry Garcia
17 years of gone, but I still hold your voice near, as if it were my own.

Introduce Yourself / A Complete and Utter Fool
« on: July 31, 2012, 09:37:39 AM »
Greetings and salutations all.

and welcome to the forums

It seemed appropriate (since I just jumped in to the discussions) to take a step back and say Hi and, perhaps, introduce myself.

Hi!

I am an avid collector of many (very many) things. (feel free to ask me about my other collections, I love to talk about them)
Playing cards being one of them
My interest in playing cards goes back to when I was about 16. We were helping my grandmother move out of her house and I found a box full of old Aristocrat playing cards  (my grandparents had apparently been quite the card players in the day)
These were beautiful old cards many of them not even opened. Unfortunately at the time I was not a collector of cards and used them. I used the hell out of them, but in the end that is what cards are for.
Anyway that set off an interest in cards and when I got older I began to collect. it really wasn't until about 4 or 5 months ago that I found out that there was a large group of people who shared the enthusiasm.  I was surfing the web trying to find where I could pick up a Tendril deck (which I missed on Kickstarter) when I stumbled upon UC
and that is when I came upon the world of competitive card collecting
Since then, a card collection that numbered around 150 after ~10 years of collecting has risen to >250 in 5 months.
Needless to say my bank account has gone the other way.

So I am an avid collector, including cards... lets see
I am not really a flourisher, although I have always been into cutting decks (long time card player as mentioned above) I have never been to creative with it. I practice now and then but don't really have the talent. Perhaps it is because I don't have very dexterous hands, at least that is what my wife says ( oh snap) .... hey wait a minute.

So personal stuff beyond collecting.
perhaps, but at a later time as this post is rather long and I really know none of you at all.

any way.
Good to be here now
I hope I can contribute in my own special way

Just remember
Just because one is a fool it does not mean they are an idiot.
