thanks so much for such an awesome and detailed answer so fast!

now to another question,

is there any big difference between a bee deck to and one from say 1989-1992? (My formative years which were spent playing spades with red bee decks at home and at the cafeteria at school.) as i was thinking of trying to get some bee decks from this era, but it might not be worth the trouble is they are largely unchanged?

thanks everyone for being so welcoming!!!

i have a pack in the mail for delivery (today i think) and thats from theory11 with 8 decks, though i wanted more.

and they have a new deck out now http://www.theory11.com/playingcards/players-daniel-madison
for which i have NO interest. 

yeah, i am limiting myself to one deck of kind unless i LOVE it, then i get two regardless of future value or lack thereof (the ecoedition i REALLY like so might get three of those) or i plan to sell for profit, then i will get more.  but i dont plan to have two of every deck even let alone a brick!

hello!

I can to this place from kick starter. I have only just started collecting cards about 6 weeks ago and I have on hand 24 decks already. Plus  more in the mail. 2 in a completed KS project and about 5 others in current projects not counting duplicates. OUCH!!

So I have the bug!

Share anything you think I should know and so on.
