Hi everyone!!

I'm ksi from Hong Kong.  Just started collecting cards in few months.  I don't do cardistry works (except for simple faro, shuffle and fanning).  I don't do magic.  Just purely collect.  And now I got some problems on storage as I simply consume too slow.

I like cards with nice stock.  I prefer thick stock, but I like the Bee 216s very much (although they are thin, their stock feels so good).  I like simple design but I like those Arcade / Ghost / Viper in UV500 - very good stock indeed.  Self-contradictory?  Haha~~

Nice to meet you all!!

Hello Ksi!

Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to seeing your opinions as you join the conversations. Card storage is a constant issue, haha. Finding the solution that suits you and meets your needs is part of the fun I think.  :)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Thanks all.

I might learn some cardistry works so as to use up part of my purchase.  But I think the rate of consumption would be still far less than the rate of purchase.

Maybe one option is to donate some used cards to the charity organisation for children.  For those cards I played for a month, they might be not fanning as well as brand new, but would be still in very good condition for some children to play cards games or bridge.  That may be a win-win situation.  They have cards to play with and I can free up space to buy more... haha~~

I perform at a local hospital and give away the decks I use to the kids I perform for.  Perhaps that's an option for you?

Yes, yes.  That would be a good idea as well.
Once I gather several decks (maybe 6-10?) and will message you for a contact for sending those decks to you.

I think you misunderstood - YOU could perform at a local hospital as well!

Oh sorry... I misunderstood. 
Well, I am far long way to be a performer.  And I am shy to be a performer indeed.
But I could teach the children how to play bridge :)
