Re: [Kevork] My Card Collection
You got me researching the Australia connection kev
I had not heard of Strangelove.
They have only been around for a decade, which coincides with my leaving Melbourne.
Turns out they have been bought out by the big Japanese beverage company Asahi (who also bought out our biggest beer co. CUB - some of you would have heard of Fosters beer)
Randy Mora is a Columbian artist

Re: [Kevork] My Card Collection
Many Australians have told me Aussies don't drink Foster's
Fun fact: Foster's is distributed by Asahi in Australia; Lion in NZ; Molson Coors in the US/Canada; and Heineken everywhere else

Re: [Kevork] My Card Collection
Since the cat is out of the bag, this coincidentally arrived on my birthday. Only 35 in existence and previously available only through Seasons' "Manor of Wonder" mystery sale, December 2019.
After some cyber stalking, I found these to be the initials for Alexander Ming Chin.@seasonsplayingcards wrote:"DID YOU KNOW... the original series (NPCCD 2018) was going to be red and GREEN vs the released red and blue? The anaglyph effect works on canceling out complimentary light waves. Green cancelled out the opposite red colored light wave better than blue did. But the color palette was feeling a bit too "Christmas-y" so green was never released."

Re: [Kevork] My Card Collection
I think I read somewhere about green being his favourite color and there was a deck that he was going to/wanted to do in green but it either didn't work or he did not want to impose his preference on people - maybe it was this deck

Re: [Kevork] My Card Collection
Another deck I don't have, I think. I thought I had them all. Ah well, dang it. Congrats at finding another hole for me.

Re: [Kevork] My Card Collection
Another one from my wishlist finding its way to me.
Fact & Fancy by Dick Martin for Chicago Playing Card Collectors' 10 year anniversary, 1961. The art depicts six centuries of famous card players and famous playing card designs. CPCC eventually merged with 52 Plus Joker.

Looks to be the case! Here's some more background on the deck, artist, and club: http://www.dxpo-playingcards.com/xpo/art/dickm-01.htmhsbc wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 9:58 pm Wow, a deck I didn't even know existed!
This Dick Martin? He was from Chicago...
