My only comment:
I wish I already had all my KS decks I've pledged so I would feel better about the amount of money I've spent.
What do y'all think?

Re: Burk's Collection
Hi There SBurk49 . That`s a nice Haul you have there, How long have you been collecting ? Any favorites yet ? I Have seen your Kickstarter list in another thread and you`ve got some great cards coming your way. Have you got a wish list yet ? what cards are you getting next and what cards have you seen but just can`t seem to buy anywhere ? You seem to like Bicycle branded cards,do you prefer branded to unbranded. A lot of questions to help understand you and your tastes better -Jase-

I've been collecting since about mid-March 2014.
No absolute favorites right now, but I LOVE the way the Pressers from Ellusionist feel. Something about the finish is different, but I cant put my finger on it. If i had to pick a fave, I would probably say my Ghost Decks or my Karnival Dead Eyes.
I agree, I cannot wait to get my KS decks in. It's killing me.
My wish list right now is the Federal 52 series. If I could afford them, I would buy them all right now. That in mind I'm trying to catch up on the good KS decks that I've missed.
Right now, Silver Split Spades is next on my list. But at the moment, I'm expanding my collection by buying cards on sale. If something is REALLY exceptional, I MIGHT pay full price. I love decks that are a "remix" of the classic rider backs, but I am a complete SUCKER for custom pips and courts. I wish they would make cards that had both. (i.e. Tragic Royalty Deck)
I cant seem to find Rebels at a decent price, and the Grid Series that was a KS series a while back.
And finally, Bicycle Branded FTW. It kinda irks me when decks don't have a Bicycle brand version. (i.e. The Independence Decks <<Sorry, Jackson) But if a deck is exceptional enough, (Pressers, Independence Decks, Split Spades, Rebels) I will get them.
I open ALL the decks I buy. They are meant to be played with. That's what I do. However, I do not practice Cardistry or Magic with my more ornamental decks. I have severely sweaty hands and after a few hours I'll destroy a deck.
I hope it's not too long of a response, but I hope it helps yall understand the type of Cardist I am.

Re: Burk's Collection
A Bicycle fan I see, you're gonna LOVE (and hate) CBJ's collector spotlight coming soon. He's a hardcore Bike fan (almost exclusively collects them) and his collection is massive.
I'm not much of a Bike fan myself, but I don't exactly mind them when they're worked nicely into the tuck.
As for your collection, that's an excellent start! Before long you won't even know where to put 'em, trust me.

Just a small update. 122 in this picture. I've added more since I have taken this picture but I figured I would post my 3 month benchmark.

I was given an Inferno deck as a thank you from Richie, but honestly that thing creeps me out. I still havent opened it. And i open ALL of them.
Dont get me wrong, they are a BEAUTIFULLY created deck of cards, but I dont do demons or occult stuff. Nope. Tryna find some way to pawn them off on someone who would appreciate them.
