looking forward to your video alex!

i've got way over 150 decks, but some are duplicates. if i only count each deck once, and including my vintage card collection, i should have around 120.

I've got about 350 decks and counting. I'm sure i'll be up to 400 by the end of the year. I've only been collecting them now for just over a year. Most of them are not rare. You can check out my collection at youtube.com/user/vjose32.

Hey vjose! I love watching all of your videos on YouTube. I didn't know this was you. I'm amazed at how many decks you have for such a short time of collecting.

P.S. Between you and me, I'm going to win the pimping you out contest

Some people have asked me privately what cards I have added to my collection since I took my last set of photos. I thought I'd post a pic of my additions since July. I'll post photos of my entire collection over the next few days.

* I have decks in transit to me that are not in the pic.. i.e Monarchs, Fantastique, etc

Could you tell me where to get the Independent deck, and why is it so much harder to find then the Democrat and Republican decks?

I purchased mine as a 3 deck set off of Ebay. I'm not really sure why that one deck is so hard to find by itself.

You can purchase the set at the1eyedjack for 25 bucks

Individual varieties, I probably have in the ballpark of 150. Individual decks, around 600. I picked up a gross and a half of Gemaco decks made for a bankrupted casino on eBay for a song.

What do you mean "for a song"?

Hey CBJ, what did you think of the irregular deck? I noticed you have one in your picture. I heard a bit about it, and I'm just curious what your take on it is?

Hey!

I haven't opened it lol. I don't open most of my decks.

I've seen lots of pictures of the deck, and it just looks like the artist didn't want to put any work into this.
It does stand out though lol

That makes sense. Yeah, that's the vibe I was getting. It looks like a deck I would like (the odd tilt and what not seems my style) even though it isn't very artistic.

Looks like you've got a nice collection, I'm pretty sure I've seen some of your other pictures too.

Cheers

I have only been collecting for a few weeks now and my collection reflects that. I have about 32 decks and i have six more on the way. Only a few duplicates because of free decks that come with orders. I am anxious to expand my collection and i know that it will grow over time.

Less than fifty cents a pack for casino-quality Gemacos with TechArt faces, including the shipping. I bought a half-gross each of green (smooth finish), orange and gold (both linen finish). The backs are full-bleed, like Bee Diamond Backs. I occasionally use them for tricks that destroy cards, but I've been giving many of them away at the hospital where I perform in the pediatric unit every Wednesday. The kids love getting a deck I just did some tricks with and it's something to keep them entertained when I'm not there.

It's just a goofy, quirky deck. I picked it up for a laugh, and I can imagine messing around with them for card routines. Fan them just the right way and you can make all the cards below the top card look blank. You can try the "self-printing deck" trick and say they came off the press too quickly...

BTW: why oh why don't you open some decks and have some fun with them?

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #39 on:** February 07, 2012, 08:21:12 PM »

I have about 60 decks and more coming!

shutupdangit · « **Reply #40 on:** February 07, 2012, 09:34:58 PM »

I probably have more than 50 in Rider Backs alone. I'd say about 200 including duplicates.

TigerKnee · « **Reply #41 on:** February 09, 2012, 02:06:28 PM »

nice! I usually save up and then buy a lot of decks.

Hey, that's what I also do when buying from big companies like D&D, T11 and E!

@Tigerknee...

I'm looking at about 200+ now. I'm not somebody who usually makes big orders from E, T11, or D&D. I just back Kickstarters and then buy a deck or two here and there. I think it's more fun that way.

@NathanCanadas try to combine your posts instead of posting an individual reply to each person. It keeps the thread less cluttered and more "readable"

Yes, I will do what you said. I also do the same thing with E T11 and D&D as I get bonus discounts, prizes, reduced shipping, etc. Also, I don't open all the decks at the same time, I open them only when I need a new one, so, that way, I have a good surprise every now and then.

I hear yah. I'm doing that now actually. It's my 2012 resolution

My database tells me that I currently have 1488 displayable decks, 15 rolls, plus 154 decks in quantities (more than 3) that I will eventually get rid of. I keep adding when I find an interesting deck at an Estate sale or online.

Wait, why do you want to get rid of 154 decks? I would be glad to have them if you want to throw them away!

Aaron · « **Reply #48 on:** February 10, 2012, 01:35:07 AM »

I have just over 225 decks

dmbaggs · « **Reply #49 on:** February 10, 2012, 04:09:53 AM »

I think those extra decks he has are for sales/trades, at least that's how it seemed.

I didn't count my extra decks that I have so I guess the number is a little off. But it's still close. I only count the ones that I am keeping for now.

Poll

How many decks do you have in your collection?
