Am I to understand that, even though "clipped wings" and "sawdust" are still not yet available... and won't be for months... you are teasing us with yet another awesome deck???  >:(

Why do you enjoy torturing us so?   :mindf-ck:
What have we done to deserve this?  ;D

What th4mo said! Agh! Such awesome work. I'll be on the lookout for sure... Thanks for sharing.

Bill, you have all the neatest toys!  :))

Microfilm cabinet?  Where does someone find one of those anymore - was the NSA having a joint garage sale with the CIA?

I happened on to that 20 years ago at an auction when Upsala College closed in Orange New Jersey. It had 40 years of the New York Times on microfilm in it! The microfilm is long gone! And just old decks of cards are in it now!

That is very cool! You do have some very awesome storage.

And 25K decks?!?!  :mindf-ck: Wow! I can't even imagine how much space that must take up. LOL I'm laughing at myself and how I'm struggling to find spots for my 400+ decks.

Thanks for the review and the discount code Sparkz!

I've been drooling over one of these for a while and have been wondering how the quality was. I will have to try and work this into the "play" budget. Ugh. My wife is gonna kill me! LOL

Wow, Some really great ideas here! I'm kicking myself for recycing my old cassette tape holders a couple years back. Ugh. Off to the goodwill store! LOL

Thanks Rob. I will definitely share my project when I get something that I feel is close to presentable. I am really taking my time with this design trying to get as much right on the first pass so that hopefully only minor tweaks will be needed/wanted.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'm looking forward to my time here.

And, I've already saved some money by not buying fake decks due to info I found here, so double bonus!   8)

Wow. I'm so glad I found this post. I wanted some Ace Fulton's Game of Death and this guy has them:

But thanks to you guys, I'm staying far away, and will keep looking. Crazy!
Thanks all!

I have to agree that I was disappointed with the lack of regular updates.

Hello.

James here. I'm originally from Philadelphia, PA and now live in the suburbs of the city. I'm foremost a collector, and am also dabbling with flourishing and magic. But I only aspire to get good enough to impress my 2 kids  :) I have a few collections of different things, but came to cards while browsing Kickstarter one day for technical projects. I think it was the Americana deck that first caught my eye and started me down this path. I tend to get a little obsessed when I find something new that I like, and cards have not been any different.

I was lucky enough last year to win a contest to help co-develop a custom deck of cards and am excited about that. I've also been working on the development of a couple of my own decks for more than a year. That has been a long road, and the first deck is slowly, but finally, coming together.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far  ;D

This deck has been relaunched here:

I agree with the others. Stay away.
