Hey guys,

I just thought I'd start a thread for playing card photos.

These don't have to be of your collection, just photos that you like of playing cards.

I'll start... these photos have compelled me to focus mostly on vintage decks in the new year...

So, what about you? What pictures have you come across that you want to share?

I will post my pics later!

@CBJ Are those decks yours, or did you just find them online?

I dont focus on buying many Vintage decks but nice pictures CBJ. I bought these a while back on ebay for about 10 English pound, I know great moguls aren't hard to find but I imagine these date back sometime, CBJ do you happen to know anything about the seal used?

Hey, I got a deck of Great Mogul I got in Nepal. But it's a deck of normal bees inside. Any idea why? TIA:D

phantom1412 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 16, 2011, 12:53:40 PM »

Yeah, I would like to know the name of the deck above too

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 16, 2011, 07:15:06 PM »

It's some kind of Transformer deck, maybe from Hasbro! I like CBJ's pic of the day scheme, it's like something new every day.

It's some kind of pop-culture deck, probably off-license, possibly not even in print. Looks awesome, though. Could use a little more color differentiation between red and black suits.

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 16, 2011, 10:08:30 PM »

Look to me as a cartoon deck, or a deck filled with fictional characters.

Here's the link to the cards

http://www.hydro74.com/hydro2011/neu/playingcards.html

I spoke with the artist yesterday, and he is releasing a deck of cards. As soon as I get more info, I will post it.

Look at some of his other art though...

I might pick up some of his "business card" coins...

I look forward to seeing what he comes out with

Haha, the world of caffeine induced chaos! I really like the deck, it's very sticking, I love the coins too, I'll be getting one if he releases it!

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2011, 10:22:35 PM »

i love this deck!!! and another of different decks

phantom1412 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 17, 2011, 12:37:43 AM »

Even if they are one way backed, but they are really nice.
Also what is the size of those coins?
Half dollar? Dollar?
I really love those coins.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #16 on:** December 17, 2011, 01:06:18 AM »

Cards - awesome, but I think copyright issues might interfere.

Coins - really freakin' cool. A practically indestructible business card! Massive, too. Me want!

CBJ · « **Reply #17 on:** December 17, 2011, 02:58:24 AM »

The coins are 2"

And, ALL DECEMBER 30% OFF Hard Goods!!!!

Coins are normally $15, buy in December and they are 10.50

I'm going to pick up a coin or 2 for card covers during poker

Don Boyer · « **Reply #18 on:** December 17, 2011, 03:28:17 AM »

Waitaminute - I thought they were his "business card." Don't people usually GIVE OUT a business card?

Only other person I saw selling their own business card was Kevin Mitnick, and that was because it was printed on thin sheet metal and stamped to allow you to pop out sections suitable for use as lock-picking tools!

Here's a memento of that one time where my one-handed fan actually looked decent... sort of

Don't mind the ugly watch, I recently got a new one.

Pics of the day... I've posted these before, but I'm not sure on which forum.

One of the Dan and Dave decks that never got printed...

Those are pretty nice but i can see why they wouldnt be printed.

Lushbob · « **Reply #22 on:** December 17, 2011, 04:05:12 PM »

The first set of the pictures of the day that you posted looked a lot like that prototype Blue Crown deck. Maybe he's helping design it or something? I don't know, just an idea.

And the second set of pictures look kinda nice, although the crazy amount of colours makes it sort of painful on the eyes. A lot less colour would do it good. And the deck box design looks pretty similar to the Tally-Ho deck boxes.

Evan · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2011, 04:17:26 PM »

All of these designs are amazing! People have some real talent to design cards! I just wish they followed through and got them printed

dmbaggs · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:08:26 PM »

I've seen that Dan and Dave deck before! It's so sick looking!! It reminds me of old arcade games from when I was growing up. Really wish that one made the cut. Such a fun, retro type deck
