Hi, I'm redler from Australia. I'm into collecting cards because I like the look of them and they are also very useful to play with. A nice combination. I can't call myself a serious collector though, since I don't target rare, old or valuable decks/cards. I mainly just buy a few packs of cards I like the look of (a couple to keep and one or two to play with). I like cards, but don't take them too seriously. I don't believe in taking anything too seriously. I find that folks who take things too seriously tend to be a bit kooky to my way of thinking (no offense intended). Anyhow, happy days.

One doesn't have to collect old or rare or valuable decks in order to be a collector. Some people like decks from casinos, some people like tourism decks, some people like plain-Jane, basic designs - it's all up to your preference. In other words, yes, you're a collector!
My wife refused to own up to being a collector, until I pointed out to her that she owned more than thirty decks. She argued that she only buys decks with really attractive artwork on them - and I replied that only meant her collection was themed and very specialized!
