Title: Cards, Cards, and More Cards!
Post by: quinn1295 on November 16, 2015, 10:46:51 PM: Hello!

My Name is Mike Quinn. I am from Atlanta, GA. I am 55 years old, the father to 6 children and the grandfather to 7 grandchildren and counting. I love magic and playing cards, but I don't do card tricks. I started collecting playing cards a few years ago. I have no rhyme or reason to what I collect. I guess I just don't know enough about playing cards to know what to collect. So far I have just been collecting whatever catches my eye. I have no idea how many decks I own but it surely can't be more than several hundred. I have recently discovered the beauty of vintage playing cards and would like to explore expanding my collection to include some of the beautiful cards from days gone by.
I love collecting sealed decks and I am now looking for cost effective solutions to display them.

I really look forward to enjoying my time here learning more about cards.

Every collection out there is as unique and individual as the collector who assembled it. It's your collection, so collect what makes you happy!

We have an entire "sticky" topic in the Playing Card Plethora dedicated to how people display their collections. You'll have a field day in there, looking at all the ways people show off the goods!
