Welcome to the forum 

Enjoy!

Those back designs are awesome! Time to scrounge up some more money to throw at another Jackson Robinson kickstarter.

I got a tier 4. @ 260... really strongly debating the purchase

Not sold out for me....

Same here, I could add them to cart not problem, didn't buy them though. Must have just been a glitch.

I had dabbled with collecting playing cards in the past, nothing major. Collecting cards came from a combination of my love for magic when I was younger and my general need to collect stuff ( I have always had a collection of some sort growing up ). Around the time Alex started up this forum was a little after I had decided to really dive into collecting cards, I thought this forum was going to be a great tool for knowledge so I decided to participate right off the get go. Soon after, Alex asked me to help Moderate and the rest is history.

I don't really have any personal attachment to decks in my collection but there is one deck that does relate to the start of my collection. When the red artifice deck was being released, it was around the time that I really started looking to collecting playing cards. With all the hype around that deck, it became really important to me to have that deck in my collection. During the release day, when the server kept crashing, I remained vigilant and after over 9 hours, I managed to get my order through of 7 decks. It was a pretty satisfying moment. Because of that purchase, I managed to fund a lot of my current deck collection through resale of the RA and that is why that deck stands out to me more than other ones.

Hey Guys,

I have a few random decks from my collection that I would be willing to trade for other decks that my collection is lacking. Thought it was worth a shot to see if any members of the forum were looking for any of the decks that I have a few extras of.

Here are the decks:



In order from left to right:
RJRTC "watermelon" red
RJRTC "watermelon" blue
Black Crown
Fulton Chinatown
Magic Con v2
White Monarch
Fantastique
Vortex
Big Guns red
Big Guns blue
Red Crown v1

I live in BC, Canada, so all of my decks would ship from there. I have all over the world and never had any issues, so we can deal with shipping on a case by case process.

I am looking for decks that I don't have in my collection, I'll make a list here and add on to it occasionally when I find something that I am looking for, feel free to offer anything though. You can see my collection at my tumblr ( http://cardcollection.tumblr.com/ )

ISO:
UV500 Tally Ho Vipers
UV500 White Ghost
UV500 Black tiger deck
S/M v1-3
more to come....

Post, send a PM or email me ( curt.loyd [at] gmail.com ) if you are interested

I have some extra RJRTC decks, do you want one of each color or two?

Shoot me pm if you are interested.

Aww shucks, 

It's easy to stick around when the community is so awesome! Without this place, my collection and knowledge of playing cards would be greatly reduced. Even with the hustle and bustle of life I'll always try to find time to reply to a few posts, answer PM's and hang out with you guys.

A boy and his father are riding in a car when it crashes.  The father is declared dead at the scene and the son is rushed to a local hospital.  In the operating room, the surgeon is about to begin trying to save his life, but stops, saying "I can't operate on this boy...he's my son..."

PS: the doctor is NOT his mother - he's male.

Long shot, but what ever. The boy and his father crashed into another car. In that car was a priest which the riddle referred to as "the father". The child's father survived the crash, unscathed, and is indeed the surgeon at the hospital his son was taken to.

You have eight balls all of the same size. 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings?

hmm... Weigh 6 balls, 3 on each side. If they are even weight then one of the balls left is the heavier one, so weigh those. If the 6 balls are not even then take 2 from the heavier side and weigh them against each other to find which of the 3 is the heavy one.

I liked that riddle. Not super tricky, just logical.

Part of my reasoning for collecting playing cards is the story behind them, whether they be a vintage deck or a more recent one. I'll generally buy two or three of a deck that I really like the look of (like DM rounders) or something that has a unique concept, like when the Fantastique and Curator decks were released. I enjoy keeping most of my collection on display in the house where it catches the attention of guests, they also work well as art in the room we use to play card games and pool. I understand the collectors who use their decks, which tend to be ones who practice magic or cardistry more often, which makes sense.
