Hello from Hong Kong

Unread post by jo213 »

Hello all, my name is CK and i am from Hong Kong. I started collecting decks when I was studying in Canada back in 04/05. I bought my first decks (canceled casino decks) from those dollar shops for my high-school project, this was when I started to pay attention to playing cards. I then stumbled across sealed uncanceled decks... also from dollar shops, which was nice.

Then I went to university where i stopped collecting and focused on my studies. This period (non collecting) lasted till this year, when i stumbled across KS... yes, i stumble a lot. That was what sparked the fire... Started researching back in July and collecting since August... well, i have a around 100 decks now, and i have attached some photos for you guys.

The casino decks are from 04-05 or 06, and the modern decks are within these 2 months.

Thanks for dropping by and good collecting!

P.S. I have this strange deck, it has a MGM tuck, but has Four Queens cards within, can anyone provide some information on that?

Welcome to the boards CK and thanks for showing us some of your collection!

The MGM/Four Queens deck you have is interesting as I don't believe that MGM ever owned the Four Queens (though it was owned by Hyatt through its subsidiary Elsinore), so those two being together on the same tuck is definitely strange...would love to hear what more you find out about them.

I love the color of lighter blue (teal?) Bee Casino decks. What else do you like to collect other than casino decks? What KS projects have your backed. Look forward to seeing more of your collection.
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

The Four Queens is on the actual cards the tuck has a window to see the cards. The MGM is on the actual tuck, the deck and tuck might not actually be meant to be combined.

Well, after having another closer look. I can see a MGM card with a cut out window ( to show the four queens logo) placed over the back of the deck within the cellophane wrap... I will try and take some photos in a few days.

Not sure if you can see the extra card wrapped outside the tuck but inside the cellophane.
