Re: [Sparkz]Labor of Love
That is actually the Legends "Mystery'" deck that came with the 20 Deck purchase of Serpentines. Handles really well too, but not printed at the new Hong Kong plant.......trying to get more info, but Lawrence doesn't want to give too much away.PrincessTrouble wrote:Which deck is that?

Re: [Sparkz]Labor of Love
I find that the greatest perpetrators are from fb, which is why i barely post my photos on fb. Mines mainly here and on instagram. Although ive seen someone use my photo as their profile pic on instagram in the past.Sparkz wrote:.....and yet those who want to will still crop it outvolantangel wrote:But that watermark a little too large i think

Re: [Sparkz]Labor of Love
V my actual beef is more so because of ebay, seeing my pics on listings that aren't mine is a little annoying, lol
I know bigger sellers/vendors/retailers use stock images all the time and I'll give them a pass, but when Joe Seller Rating 3 uses a pic of my Gatorbacks It erks me

Re: [Sparkz]Labor of Love
Another piece of the display "PLAN" was added this past weekend. My wife was nice enough to get me this 8 Drawer Chest from IKEA. The drawer construction and assembly works well for the weight of all this paper, been looking for a while and this fit the bill. Each drawer hold appox. 250 decks, so I "Should" be good for a while
............the master plan is to take over the entire basement and turn it into the "Sparkz Museum" ........one can dream.

The Green Gatorbacks were actually the 1st time I ever bought a brick of anything for myself, out of the 3 boxes there, one Green was broken down for friends at cost, there is one full one, and the 3rd is a Black Gatorback Brick that I split with a friend...so a half brick. I still have a hard time buying bricks, but I'm not stupid eaither, $5.00 for a deck like the Gatorbacks, bring it on!

Re: [Sparkz]My Collection
Amazing setup you've got there! My dream is to finally get out of my tiny New York apartment and get my own house and really go to town on my collection! I've got tons of stuff boxed up which deserve proper displaying.
What's your rarest or most prized possession from your collection?

Re: [Sparkz]My Collection
My favorites are a sub collection you might say, of personally autographed decks I've gotten from designers and artists I've had the pleasure of working with though Kardify. They aren't all super elite decks, but the meaning and story behind them is worth much more than the value, getting to know all these people a little better has been amazing and I'm very grateful.......corny, I knowEoghann wrote:Amazing setup you've got there!

Re: [Sparkz]My Collection
Haha, it's never just a single collection, is it? There are always little subsections within. I think we all do that where we hold certain decks to a special, more personal level. That's cool.
