I put a couple of pictures up on Imgur. I'm not quite sure how to send you an invitation to see the album so I'm just going to post what is in my address bar and hope it works lol it won't let me upload here because the picture files are too large.

I hope that works.


I ended up uploading one more picture. It's another picture of the clasp that keeps it closed. I think it is probably the coolest yet smallest feature of the whole thing. You have to physically move the locking mechanism out of the way before you can open it up. The picture shows me doing so.

I hope to see more photos with the cards and the wood box too. I try to find a review on youtube, but nothing. Anyone?

I picked up the box set and the extra 6. Any pictures you want posted specifically? I can take a few and post them here directly.

500 points for me. Merry Christmas =)

Jmrock: I understand "dollar cost averaging" and think it is a great concept. It is probably something that I will employ long term as my collection grows and I have more money to spend on cards. It is probably a wonderful feeling finally completing a collection. I have yet chosen a collection that I wish to complete from beginning to end, but I know when I do, I will definitely be doing the same as you.

Tom: Thank you again for sharing your experience. It must be awesome to know that you have bought a deck worth way more than what you purchased it for. I do not collect cards in the hopes of making money, but because I find it an interesting hobby. That could only make the satisfaction much better. I do hope that I experience that to a degree, even if it is only a thousandth of what you got from it.

10ofclubs: It totally makes sense. I know I will come across times like this where I will regret not purchasing an item and never get that opportunity again. But I know that because of this forum, specifically this topic, I will be grateful for all of your advice to purchase an item, and be forever happy with my purchase.

Generally, I really do appreciate all the wisdom shared to me that experience has taught each of you. I have learned a lot reading from this and am looking forward to the rest I have to learn. I will definitely be asking my questions when I come across them with this new area of playing cards. It is awesome to have a group of people that have such a vast knowledge of cards, that I can confidently be comfortable with the comments you have to express.

Tom and Don,

I appreciate the comments and offering the knowledge you guys have amassed. I may look into getting those books in the near future, but I am certainly in no rush. I think the comments you have shared Don are very accurate. I enjoy the work involved in this hobby because it teaches you more than sitting back and just clicking the purchase button. I definitely like how much information is accesible instantly Tom. I would hate to pay 3x the price for something, only to realized I was scammed. I guess that is another part of the learning curve right?

I have been told that multiple times here jmrock but thank you. I do not collect cards to make money. I am a relatively new collector. The reason I ask is that if/when I do start collecting vintage decks, I would rather have an idea what the going rate is for a deck of cards than pay extra for a deck I can get cheaper. Also it would be nice to see information on the cards and if they are actually a good deck of cards. As a college student, I probably won't be paying high price for cards anytime soon but it is always a thought in the back of my mind =)

Since I know absolutely nothing when it comes to vintage cards, does anybody know a place on the internet where we can search them? Say I come across a vintage deck on Ebay or Amazon, and I want to check for what it actually is and what it is worth, is there somewhere I can go.

I am certainly looking forward to learning a ton about these older decks and seeing the decks that people have amassed over the years

Justin O: What is the deck to the right of the Blue Jaqk Cellars? I can't read the name of it =(
Edit: nevermind I didn't read through all the comments. Question was answered =p

Also I was looking at one of my new decks, the White Artisans and I saw that they were marked. It wasn't large but noticeable. They are still sealed and I haven't really moved them since taking them from the box. Do you think if I contact Theory 11, would they possible send me a new deck in exchange for the ones I have? I have attached a picture of it. It isn't bad, but it is something that will bother me now that I know it is there.

We with his success and the growing tread of different colors for the same deck you should expect the the next one to be in black by July or August.  It is innegable. You like that MagicFingerz.  This is Agent Smith speaking.  The question is where do I find these Fan Boyz?  It's the new generation I'm look for.  Is there a website?

Russell, you might want to start with grammarbook.com...    The word "innegable" isn't even English, it's Spanish!  You're hard enough to understand without requiring an interpreter.

For those that don't know what it means like myself, it means undeniable, indisputable, and irrefutable. Save you all having to google it :p

If you ask me, I would say it would be a close battle =) looking forward to something like that though.

Well!   Still alive. Operation went pretty good. Came back benign. The Doctor called it a nerve tumor. He was able to peel it away. Didn't have to do any cutting of tissue. Everything working good.

That's fantastic Rob. Glad to hear it man.

How do you come up with the idea of rubbing a banana against your cards? What genius thought about this while eating a banagna? Honestly! It is such random thought that can go through your head. What's next? Putting them in coke like they are pennies?
