Posting a deck from my collection everyday for the rest of the month. I'm posting 3 this time because I missed another day yesterday and will likely miss Monday as well. That gives me a chance to show off all my cat decks ^.^

The Hello Kitty and Cartoon Cats both lack a blank card for me to show off the backs, and they have embellishments on the number cards (the HK number cards don't all have that), so I played a little bit of spider solitaire to show them off a bit (no I did not win that hand).

The black cat pictured is Newt, he's my roommate's. I have 4 but he's not one of them.

Question What's a good website to get a single order with as much variety as possible?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, for a bit of context why I ask this, I live in Mexico and it's a bit harder to get a good variety of options here, but I have a friend who lives in the US that comes once a year and is coming next month.

I only ordered cards online once some years ago, it was through him ofc, maybe around 20 decks from theory's 11 official website, half of them were for gifts and the rest for myself, and while I like them a lot, I want to get more good decks from different brands.

So yeah, if I'm gonna bother my friend one more time to make another purchase I want it to be from ONE website only like last time but with more options.

Only website I've looked into is called "rareplayingcards.com" but I don't know if it's good or if anyone here can provide some better options. Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm designing my first custom deck of cards. What do you guys think about the concept? Mythical creatures from a dark forest. Vampires, ghosts, elves, and other dark legends!

I used to kinda be into collecting. All started because I LOVE to play cards. Started buying decks here and there and treating myself, then just stopped, but was able to get a decent little pile I guess.

New to the sub and half considering getting back into it. Maybe read the sell rules. Who even knows. At the least buy a cool new one to play with as I have def seen some reallllly cool ones.

Anywho…. Here is the stash.

This was $8 cad at the thrift store. Cards are brand new sealed. Edit:these don’t appear to be plastic as I originally thought. They look a lot like plastic through all the packaging.

Ads I Got tired of keeping 300+ decks locked away in dark bins, so I built a digital cabinet to display them

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

Every collector hits that point where you look at hundreds of decks tucked away inside carat cases or cardboard boxes and realize nobody, not even you, gets to actually appreciate the print work.

Most deck trackers out there are fine for inventory (if they stay around 🙄), but they feel like managing a warehouse spreadsheet. I wanted something with the atmosphere of an old wunderkammer (or cabinet of curiosities) from a parlor or an antique curiosity shop. So over the last few months I built https://cards.exomagic.com 🪄

Uniquely housing my 300+ deck collection with a bit of flare. Lift each deck off the shelf and take a closer look at the tuck or card-back if I've added it. The archive spans about twenty years of collecting. Everything from mid-2000s Ohio-pressed classics (Brown Wynns, RJRTC Watermelon Bees, 2008 Split Spades Lions) to newer Stockholm17, KWP, and weird Fontaine runs.

I also built in a "Secret Drawer" that deals you a random deck when you pull the handle (for when you’re indecisive), and a little fanning studio tool so you can preview what back patterns look like spread out.

Zero ads, no store, no newsletter popups, nothing for sale. Just an obsessive passion project made for people who appreciate tuck design and card history.

Pull the drawer handle and let me know if it deals you anything you have sitting on your own shelf.

I noticed on this Dutch card that the hands are purple, and I didn't find this on the other cards. What does this mean? Is it a printing error or a design feature?

Vintage Antiques Samuel Hart & Company - 1866 George & Martha Washington Illuminated - Hochman NY32

Post image
15 Upvotes

On May 8, 1866, Samuel Hart patented designs for his first deck of George & Martha Washington playing cards. It featured a beautifully engraved Ace of Spades in colour with heavy gold accents and Extra Fancy Backs. The deck was Hart’s most expensive at the time, probably ever. Even today, the Samuel Hart Illuminated George & Martha Washington is my most attention-grabbing deck and stands out in a crowd.

It's really nice to use supreme back fontaines. I got it only on this New Year, but I think this one is my personal favorite Fontaine deck ever made. Maybe I just LOVE green color, and this green tone is awesome!

Working on these card designs has been tough! First prototypes came in and they look good except for the back. We changed the background color to a light grey and updated the corner elements to show moon icons to be used for our games. After studying some cards I'm working on a new design inspired by Theory 11's Monarch's card back design and a new font I found that I might use for our logo along with a new game mechanic that uses arrows to assassinate other players. Thinking of making my aces be event cards that trigger full blood moon transformations or assassin cards that you spin to target an opponent to fight or drink with. Thinking of adding names to the characters but not sure yet. Going to be sending out another prototype out to print soon!

My Card Magic collection

Post image
28 Upvotes

This is the most important part of my card magic arsenal when it comes to decks (103 on image); beyond that, I have a collection of tricks using small packets of cards, multiple boxes with spare cards, as well as a collection of decks (around 60) that I bought simply because I liked them.

My favorites are the DMC Elites, the Phoenix Series from Card Shark with regular and large index and the Tally-Ho Circle back. I have Bicycles Rider-back, Maiden-back and League-back, Tallys, Bees and Aviator.

I like to keep them in brick-style cases; it makes it easy to know what’s in each one and go straight to what I need.
