I'm giving away 4 decks of cards to celebrate my one year anniversary. Everyone is eligible.
US shipping will be included. International, I just ask for you to pick up shipping. edit- worldwide shipping will be included.
Nurul (http://www.playingcardforum.com/playing-card-plethora/my-one-year-anniversary-giveaway/) did this a few months ago. I thought it was pretty cool, so I decided to do the same. My anniversary is May 21st
This is going to work pretty much the same way Nurul's did.
Pick a card, any card except jokers. My dare to everyone is to pull out your favorite deck. Pull a random card, and go with it (not mandatory). Post your card here by May 21st, 8pm EDT(no pic needed). You may edit your choice up until I close the contest with a post. Any edits after that will be disqualified. I will announce the winner that night (providing no emergencies on my part).
I've already drawn a card, and took a picture of it. If more than one person picks the same card. I will draw names from a hat (the original random.org).
How will you know I'm not cheating- you won't. You'll have to trust me. I want everybody here to be eligible
Why am I doing this? I want to give back to you guys/gals. I've enjoyed reading a gazillion post (almost), and met a lot of great people here.
I was able to procure a few decks from Jackson's Sherlock Holmes project. The winner will get the complete standard 4 deck set. Good luck to everyone.

How kind/fun of you! Sure why not, those are fairly good odds I guess. Randomly from 'favorite' deck, huh? Tough call, but here was my pick.

-
Thanks so much for being willing to do this. As a consistent lurker, I've learned a lot from your posts. I went with the whole random card from favorite deck, and I got.... Queen of Clubs.
Thanks again!
-
random card from my deck... 2 of diamonds
-
7 of Diamonds ;D
-
5 of clubs is my choice.
-
8 of diamonds. I shuffled my whispering imps deck multiple times, and gave it a few cuts and then had a friend give me a random number to count down to. I think that is as random as I could have done it.
-
3 of diamonds :)
-
You can go ahead and add a 5th deck if you like. :)
Nobody likes an incomplete set.

Awesome contest Rob, and nice throw in Jackson! Since the contest is for some of Jackson's decks, the card should probably be picked from a Jackson deck.
9 of Diamonds randomly drawn.
-
Queen of Spades.
-

Nobody likes an incomplete set.
Wow, just wow! thank you
That said, I'll cover worldwide shipping as well. I don't want anybody to miss out.
-
Awesome! Thanks ton for doing this!
Determined by the Fed. 52 deck) The 3 of Spades.
Thanks to Jackson for completing the set too!
-
2 of spades !
-
Thanks for doing this! It's very generous of you.
I would pull from a Jackson deck if I had one but I don't yet. :( So I'm pulling from my deck that no one's probably ever seen or heard of before! Jack of Clubs for me.
-
Ok, funny thing, I'm editing to change my card, because just as I posted my original pick (was Jack of Clubs), maggock literally posted that card...it's like...i knew it was going to be drawn.
anyways, my new pick is actually..5 of hearts!

Sorry dude! I swear, something like that happens once in every contest out there. ;D
-
Thank You Both, Rob, and Jackson Robinson, for making this a dream deck set!
I've pulled my Eight of Hearts from my first prototype deck (code-named Harthaven); which I have to say is my current "favorite" deck because I've been working on it every day for weeks!
The attached picture is the only peek I've given out so far, for what will eventually be my first Kickstarter project.
With a last name like "Hart," I'm glad I pulled a "Heart" for this contest!
Will
-
How generous of you kind sir. :D
6 of diamonds for me.
-
I will take the Five of Hearts. Thanks for this awesome contest.

Thanks, Rob!
From the monarchs deck my boyfriend got me:

Don
I decided I wanted to have a bit of fun this morning, so I googled pics of 9 of spades and picked one intentionally from a deck I had never seen just to see who would be first to ask.."hey what deck is that". You won my contest Don. Now I have just to decide what the prize is
-
Thanks for the little shout out rob .. Great contest, great prizes :)
6 of spades
Thanks again Rob
-
I'm going to be the cool guy and go Ace of Spades.
The AoS I have in mind is the Bicycle Archangels one.
-
:D King of Diamonds :D
-
I drew a 7 of clubs from my exquisites, I saw Don has the same card, but I feel I have to stick with it since it was random.
-
8 of spades for me, don't have much of a collection so went with my favorite deck that I am currently carrying around in my pocket, Madison dealers.
-
Such a fun idea and such a great set of decks!
Jackson for the premo add for the win as well!
My favorite card, the Two of Spades
Love being a part of this community! Thanks guys!
-
Hmm. Awful lot of clubs selected already; nevertheless,
the deck of choice (1935 Fan C Pack Past-L-Eze) says:
KING OF CLUBS.
(picture later, when I figure out where my kids hid the camera.)
(edit; picture added. Found the camera.)
Thanks, Rob, for this contest!
-
Queen of Spades. Thank you awesome dudes!
-
Nice contest and cool prices!
Picked a random card and it was....
10 of Hearts!

Not to ruin the fun, but I had to know what it was. OK, maybe it does ruin it, but such a tease!!! :-[ It is a promo deck for the Fallout New Vegas video game Here's a set on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/FALLOUT-New-Vegas-Collectors-Edition-Deck-of-Caravan-Playing-Cards-EXCELLENT-/141249510693 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/FALLOUT-New-Vegas-Collectors-Edition-Deck-of-Caravan-Playing-Cards-EXCELLENT-/141249510693)

Also, volantangel & ruicorreia both picked 2 of spades. There is a hat tie breaker, but FYI if either want to change it.

And thanks for the contest! Fun!

Oddly enough after several attempts and getting cards that were already picked, I ended up with Jacksons pick! Hopefully it's a good one.
-
Pulled a 6 of hearts from my rounders, but they never seem to give me good luck ): So I reshuffled my red verve and got a 7 of hearts, I think I'm gonna go with that! 7 of hearts! :D

Come on, Victor! You're gonna drop an interesting-looking card like that and not say anything about where the hell it came from? Let's hear it!

Don, it's the ten of diamonds from the Playing Arts deck. You can view the other card designs here: http://playingarts.com/cards/

I used a curator deck, and got the Jack of Diamonds :)
-
Yes it's from the Playing Arts deck which I have but I just googled it.
-
I used a curator deck, and got the Jack of Diamonds :)
I love how the curator deck makes references to different Jacks. Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack and Jill, Jack in the Box, and lumberjack. :)

*De La Rue Queen of Spades

King of Diamonds from our newest acquisition - Burma Cards by Dondorf c1870
-
I got the six of spades from the deck of red Ohio Tally Ho circle backs I have in my locker at work. Hopefully nobody pulled that card.
6♤
-
At least 3 others have the 6 of spades but I did not go back and count
-
You were right. After going back and crossing out already picked cards
Unofficially what's left is: A♢(Ace of Diamonds), 4♧(Four of Clubs), 5♤(Five of Spades), 6♡(Six of Hearts), 7♤(Seven of Spades), 10♤(Ten of Spades) K♡ (King of Hearts) and K♤(King of Spades).
My new card is the 10♧ (10 of Clubs)
EDIT:
Not sure if pips are showing up (typing them on my phone)that's why I use parentheses. I dont think any of you are dumb.
-
Well here it is 9 of spades!

Can you send me any info on the one piece deck as well?
-
Ace of Hearts.
Thanks for the give away!

@Sher143, @Shebhnt
The artwork is kind of neat, but the card quality isn't very good. If you really want a deck, I can look around. They were given to me as a present. If you just want to see the artwork, it came with an insert. I scanned it and will attach it here.
-
Ten of spades
Ace of Hearts.
Thanks for the give away!
That's one of the things I like about these contests - it brings out new members and turns lurkers into posters!
Welcome to the Discourse, Raul4515 and Hat Trick. May I suggest that you each make a new topic at the Introduce Yourself board so we can give you a proper greeting?

8pm edt tonight according to the 1st post which I quoted here for ya.

Hey!
Is it too late for me to change my card to the one in the attached picture?
O.K. I'm kidding...
But I wish I had thought of it sooner!

-
Only a few hours left. Make your picks by 8 pm edt.
I will not be home from work until after 8. The winner will be announced between 9-12
By the way Will. Your card above would not be a good choice. It would have 51 losers, and majority would rule. :)
-
So, even if I don't win the decks, I'm glad I'm sticking with the Eight of Hearts form my own first deck (that seems to be taking forever for me to complete!).
Will (Still Hopeful) Hart

Thank you to everyone who played.
And the winner is...........................

8 of diamonds. I shuffled my whispering imps deck multiple times, and gave it a few cuts and then had a friend give me a random number to count down to. I think that is as random as I could have done it.
Congratulation John!
Send me a message with your address, so I can get these sent to you.
-
Congratulations to John B.
and huge thanks to Rob Wright for the contest. :)
-
Hey, Rob.
Great contest! Thanks for bringing some more excitement throughout the run. :)
Congratulations to John! We always said you were a real card.
-
shit what were the chances I would win this. I am surprised.
-
Congrats... John B. You're a lucky man!
-
Congrats, John! And thanks to Rob for a great contest!
-
Gratz John and thanks for the opportunity Rob ;)
-
Congrats John. Thanks for the contest Rob!
-
Good on you John!
And Thank You to Rob, Jackson, and The Playing Card Forum for running this contest too!
My Internet connection was down all day today while Time Warner was working on it, and wanting to read who won this contest was bugging me until I finally got on-line moments ago.
At least it gave me more time to keep working on my own first deck while waiting to get back on-line!
Thanks Again for a fun ride with this amazing contest!

LOL, I double checked your order I manually put in and sure enough my shipping software autofilled a Hounds Brick instead of 1 deck. :) Don't worry about sending it back. Just spread the Baskervilles love around a bit if you want.
