I have two red decks that are different one has the signature sticker on the outside of the box and the certificate and the other is just a plain white box with a red foil prototype deck.

I just recently had the chance of acquiring my most treasured deck since I started collecting. Who you might ask, well the Hustling Joe transformation cards.

 About the cards, it is a complete deck except for missing joker  :(  plus there is no box. Finding a complete deck those were minor setbacks to a treasured find. They are dated 1895 i believe these are first edition because there is no border on the court cards. Even though the second edition was printed the same year.

if you would like to see specific ones just let me know for close-ups of singles otherwise I will be posting pics shortly of them all.

A Cellar of Fine Vintages / Re: What year this deck was made?

First USPCC was founded in 1885 which would make 1985 " 100 years" of operation, second the bluse seals were used until 2009 as for the long flap tuck on the box was used up until they moved the factory to KY when they changed the box, which was in 2009.  So i would place this particualr deck as 2001  8) 8) 8)

I store my sealed decks in $25 bank penny boxes same size as a standard brick box holds an even dozen. These boxes are stronger and sturdier plus realitivly cheap on Ebay.
I like the smaller boxes so i can organize the cards by category easier.

Design & Development / Hand drawn design to vector images???
« on: September 15, 2016, 11:09:36 PM »
Ok so I've been told if you hand draw cards you then need to convert them into vector format? 
i am so new to this how would one even go about doing so?
Do i actually need to?
Are there easier ways to do so?
As you can see i don't know much about this so any help is appreciated thanks have a great day!

Playing Card Plethora / Decks holding there value?
« on: September 15, 2016, 11:01:50 PM »
This maybe a dumb question, already been asked but ill take my chances LOL
so we all know that special, limited, numbered and/or signed decks generally are worth more from the start. How do we know if a deck is going to truly hold it's value?
obliviously certain decks will always hold value like first editions will always be worth more than there followers.
Yes Designer, manufacturer, color, card stock & subject matter play an important role.

Are decks really valued on desirability & accessibility?
I guess every deck is worth what your willing to pay for it!!
