Title: CBJ has arrived
Post by: CBJ on October 27, 2011, 02:10:48 PM: Hello all,

I frequent UnitedCardists, and I'm here to show support for this company and the products they produce.
I've been collecting for almost 3 years, and have amassed a nice collection.

I'm sure I'll get to know all of you soon enough.

Later

I'm glad to see you here. For those of you that don't know CBJ - just take a look on UnitedCardists and you'll find him breaking the news on almost every single new deck.

Sidenote - have you ever posted your collection (either a photo or video)?

As for my collection.. I have a couple pics I took back in July. My collection has grown since.

No duplicates

Post by: CBJ on October 27, 2011, 02:44:29 PM: Ahhh yes.. they are both Expo Decks. One with the awesome custom cellophane, one without.

So.. one set of duplicates. All my "extra decks" are at the top of the pic, stacked on each other.

Post by: xela on October 27, 2011, 02:53:46 PM: I'd love to just go through your collection, take the decks out and play with them. I've been keeping all my new additions sealed so I have a hankering for open decks now. I still have about ~150 open decks but aside from ones I've had to review, the newest ones are from early 2011.

What are the two decks next to the Tally Ho's at the top? To the left of them - the red box and the white box.

When I first starting collecting, I opened every deck. I think the Bape deck was the first one I didn't open, and I don't open many anymore. Lately, I purchase 2 of most decks. One to collect, and 1 to open/trade.

I purchased them off ebay for about $100. I've only ever seen one other set for sale. One guy on UC had 3 sets, but I'm not sure what he did with them.

I prefer these over the set that was produced for the mass market.

P.s Did you ever send those cut up v1 Ghost deck cards? No worries if you forgot...hehe.
