Hello forum!
I had a brilliant idea to open this fun little thread. In this thread everyone simply posts their favorite Ace of Spades of their collection. The deck itself dosen't matter. Neither the handling, nor the price, printer or anything else except the design of the Ace of Spades. Also be sure to tell us why it is your favorite, perhaps also what kind of Ace of Spades you like in general or an Ace of Spades you would like to see in the future. And if you can't name just one, or you feel that it is unfair to name only one from your collection, just post some of your favorites or even better, a TOP 3 or TOP 5 or heck, even TOP 10 list if you feel like to
My favorite Ace of Spades dosen't actually come from a deck that is even a close being on my favorite decks. I saw the Ace of Spades of it and I knew I had to get the deck, without seeing any other card of it. The deck is.... Coterie 1902's Question Decks Ace of Spades
What I really like about it is, well everything. Firstly, it's big! It's bold! Secondly, it dosen't have a text of a logo inside it to ruin it. I always like Ace of Spades more if nothing is inside it. And thirdly, those two lines under it. I love it when there is just one or two lines of text under the Ace of Spades, it makes it look much much better than without them, or the text inside the Ace.
And remember:

Now carry on!

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Re: "This is my favorite Ace of Spades in my collection" thr
This is my favourite for two reasons:
1) This was my first. I had a stroke just before Christmas last year, and my family chose this deck as a "get well" present.
2) I just love the line and detail. Clear, not too busy, with a element of mystery appropriate to the deck.

Re: "This is my favorite Ace of Spades in my collection" thr
One of my favorite Aces of Spades is in the oldest USPCC (before it WAS) Congress 606 decks from the 1886-89 time frame. This is US6 in Hochman's Encyclopedia of Playing Cards. I say "one of" because it is truly impossible for me to pick just one. This old school deck has one of my favorite Jokers also:
The Dundreary type 1 Joker.
