I wish the studio had released packs of all-Joker decks modeled after the cards that appeared in the movie.  That would have been a fun thing to play with, especially for messing around with magic routines.  Imagine - assorted jokers with matching backs from ALL the various brands USPC has carried over the years!

So do I, the all jokers Joker deck they do have doesn't use the same Jokers that appear in the movie. Would have been much cooler if they had been the same as in the film. When I got it I was all excited haha, it stayed kind of cool for a little bit but I ended up trading it to a pal for an entirely badass, in my opinion, Peanuts deck that I couldn't get my mitts on at the time. Win!

Still haven't gotten my paws on the slick deck ecNate posted. That one's very sharp, fantastic deck.

I have tons of non-bicycle decks!  I think it's about 20-25% of my collection is unbranded

D&D Private Reserve
Voltige
2 x S&M Carbon

That's a great haul!  :D

That does look really nice. I love the multiple decks per area idea. Good stuff. :D

Received these today.  I now have 1200 plus decks but these are my very first signed and personalized.  These will always be special for that reason and because they are from an all around great person..  Thanks Rose!   

Phone pic.. Sorry for the less than stellar quality.

You did pretty well on that.  I gave up on their Mystery decks on the year that the mystery was "Why am I paying a premium for these inexpensive decks just because Dan and Dave wrapped them in brown paper?"  Most of what I received had a retail price lower than I paid for the decks so in the end I paid far more than the decks were worth - I considered it a "Festivus miracle" and a rip-off and left it at that.

Will's autographed Science decks look really cool. Great stuff man!

I received my mixed brick of gold decks from LPCC this morning. I'm kind of gutted that the Classic Gold is already sold out, because I'd have loved to have picked up more!
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

Got the 52 Aces v2 (light edition) in last week.  Yeah, it's an art deck and breaks all kinds of rules.  I was so in love with much of the art work on the cards that I had to have it anyhow.  Super disappointed there is no proper case, just the display box (or tin box if non-light version).  I guess I'll be making another custom clear one for it.  This also is the deck that will finally make me create a multiple single card display frame to easily rotate individual cards in/out of.  It's a shame to keep such works contained to a box on the wall, especially one without a proper tuckbox.

Actually, it's a pretty cool deck.  I don't know why some people around here treat the phrase "art deck" like a curse...  They're not always practical, sure - but they're not always MEANT to be practical: they're ART!

Here are the cards that I received for winning the post count contest. A numbered Set of Aquilas from Anthony (along with a set to open up) and a vintage bridge sized gilded deck with slipcase from Tom (52plusjoker). It is a Minneapolis Foshay Tower deck, very attractive deck. Sorry it took so long to post, been a busy holiday season for me with a job transfer and lots of travel adventures due to weather.

Thanks for the contest.
