[markjanderson] My collection...
So this whole thing started by me wandering around on Kickstarter and discovering things like Jackson's Federal 52 series of decks (Branded set of 5 decks on the bottom right and a Federal 52 Unbranded second hand deck on an Uusi display stand that you can barely see so that I didn't have to open up any of the others quite yet)...
I've always liked playing cards, but didn't realize the vast variety of art that was available in such small packages
Fast forward a couple of months later and this is what it has become... (Not including a bunch of recent Kickstarter decks that will eventually show up)
Thanks a lot Jackson...

P.S. I'll take some better pictures of the decks in the collection (maybe in the bunches/order that I got them just for fun) as I add to this thread.

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
OK, let's try this process out...
Here's the first deck that I purchased to "officially" start my collection:

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... then ended up at Ellusionist...
Buy 3 decks... Get 1 free?
Sounds like a plan to me...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... then couldn't resist poking around on Amazon to see what I could find for a decent deal...
I kinda have a thing for dragon's even though these 3 aren't the most exciting decks (same reason that I pledged for a deck from Dragon Dynasty on Kickstarter I guess)

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
I found this deck on Kickstarter, but missed the campaign since I got into this a little late...
Anyway found it available for pre-order on the creators site...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... yet another batch, this time from Art of Play (Part 2)...
They don't have every deck available, but I thought that the prices for the more available decks seemed very reasonable.
Plus I thought that the shipping costs were fair and also liked the wrapped in black paper with the Art of Play sticker a cool touch.
Moderators, if I shouldn't be mentioning company names in these postings, please let me know.
I thought it might be nice for new collectors to know some of the different places where I (as a new collector) have purchased decks.

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... these were a combination of eBay and Gamblers General Store...
... these were from Gamblers General Store (big thanks for tracking down the missing Rebel deck for me)...
... I've picked up a few extra Rebel decks since that original purchase, so I just took a single picture...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... upped my eBay bid by 50 cents and didn't really expect to win, but I got this at a decent price...
... since I now had 1 deck in each Federal 52 series, I obviously had to complete them both (that pain comes later)...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
Nice decks ! Wish I could remember my decks in chronological order I got them. Ironically I haven't gotten the very first deck I ordered (which was on ks), any guessers ?

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
I really only got hooked on this stuff about two months ago and the vast majority of my purchases have been via the internet, so I've got a nice e-mail history of each order... Good thing, since I don't think I would be able to remember otherwise...volantangel wrote:Nice decks ! Wish I could remember my decks in chronological order I got them.

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... just a few more from Gamblers General Store...
... I thought this was the Theory11 embossed version, but it's just the basic one from USPCC (multiple versions I found out later)...
... Oh well, it made it a pretty easy decision to open up this one to check the cards out...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... and I went to Jackson's site to grab a second hand unbranded Federal 52 to actually play with, but I just couldn't resist that darn "Add to Cart" button staring me in the face... this one hurt just a little bit...

... The 1 Eyed Jack had Black JAQK as the Wild Card deal so I couldn't pass that up, plus a few other things I thought were cool...

... This Deco set was also part of that last order from The 1 Eyed Jack, but I thought it deserved it's own topic...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... It took trips to like 5 different Wal-Marts around here, but I finally found a few Plumas out at the coast so I picked up a couple of each...

Re: [markjanderson] My collection...
... Something for my wife (isn't that sweet) and since I had backed Lotrek and UC for the Grostesque decks, something else from him...
