Hey guys,

I thought I'd start a thread so members can show off items that they've added to their collection.
If you get some new stuff in.. SHOW US !

Please.. no stock photos of products that are on the way to you. Once you've received the items, take pics and post them!

Very nice CBJ and good idea for a thread

Yesterday picked up many decks including that Altruism deck but did pick up a few interesting items that I did not know much about. Obviously the pics will be stock picks as I have not received the decks yet

First saw the thread from dealingdeuces and picked up the Arrco Tahoes Limited Edition Gold Collection limited to 500 which I understand is the 4 different 1st print Tahoe decks individually wrapped and numbered in gold foil

Image.

I also picked up the 2 rare decks from that Asian company Misdirection Mystery Cards..Both the Watcher deck and the Moth deck

Hey badpete69,

I like the decks you picked up! If you can though, let's only try to post pics of the items once you've received them... no stock photos.
Can't wait to see the photos you take once they come in!

Maybe this should be a mini/sub-forum instead of a thread.

I've got one of the JN's fanning too. A bit of thumb pressure and they fan quite reasonably.

Well used, but a very reasonable trade from a UC member. Nice to have some to play with.

Got my Watcher deck from Misdirection's Mystery. Turns out the guy that sold me the Moth deck is part of the Misdirection team. He tells me there is a chance that they will release a white Moth deck in the near future

There's more than a chance.. it's happening.
There is a thread for it that hasn't been transfered over yet at UC.net

Got a new deck in the mail today - a gift from my good friend Barbara "Kitty" Mervine.

The deck is the recent Bicycle "Coffin Fodder" deck.

I had already purchased one via Brook Michael's Poker World (http://www.bmpokerworld.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), but this gift was still quite nice to receive, as it came with a bonus...

Barbara is also friends with the deck's artist, Noah Whippie (he illustrated two books she has written), and, at my request, she had Mr. Whippie autograph the deck's Ace of Spades for me (whenever I purchase a deck through the deck's artist and/or designer, I ask them to autograph the deck's Ace of Spades).

I scanned smallish images of a few cards from the deck (including the Spade Ace), in preparation for including it on the revived version of my playing-card-collector web site, and thought I would upload them here to UC as part of this thread.
