Hello everybody. my screen name is Seadragon and real name is Rick. You can address me as either one. I got started in playing card collecting about 2 and half years ago. So far I have a pretty good start on my collection at around 200 decks (Unopened) about half that I have as open decks that I perform with. I got into cards about 3 years ago when I took a vacation to Myrtle Beach and went to a magic shop where they had a score of different decks that I never knew existed. The gentleman there at the store showed me a few tricks that convinced me I could really do card manipulation and tricks and I was hooked. As a graduate of graphic design and commercial illustration I also have a keen eye and can usually spot a fake or counterfeit deck right off and will do what I can to stop people from buying or getting took by fraud. I am a fan of Kickstarter and the USPCC as well as ellusionist, Theory 11 and all the other companies out there that produce card decks. My prize collectible at this point is a fantastic deck of original Steamboat 999 Russell Morgan deck with all the cards minus the jokers in a really fantastic intact tuck box.
