Finally got around to making a topic here to show my collection as well, some of you may have come across my collection already on Reddit where I’m known as Kurotab0. Not too long ago my new big cabinet came which became the forever home to the core of my collection, so here it is my current collection altogether.

Haven’t been seriously collecting for too long just yet, been about a year or so although I did back my first KS decks somewhere around 2020-2021 iirc so I did go pretty hard on the collecting in a short period of time and I definitely bought some decks that I wouldn’t have with my current mindset and focus of what I like to collect but no regrets.

And there is still more to come with some awesome additions on the horizon, some of them impulse purchases (yep they still occur) and some to be added to my new treasure chest!

Some close up pictures of the cabinet to better show the various decks inside (especially the white ones..) due to the pretty heavy glare from the light in the larger picture

Eerily similar display to a friend of mine! I love that you repurposed the Three Kingdoms frame for the King's Game. Love those decks.

Amazing collection too! Full sets are so satisfying - I'm thinking Eva, Odd Fellows, Gemini. Thank you for sharing

Thanks! And yeah my collecting has started to revolve around getting full sets that I like, with EVA being my absolute favorite set followed by The Three Kingdoms and Odd Fellows set.

Silk was way too much to complete, so I just went for the ones I liked and unfortunately I am currently missing the Gatekeeper version of HotRS and Planets Pluto although I am on the lookout for those two, finding them is a different matter altogether though.

Another option to the Gatekeeper is the Kaymaster Ultimate. I think that one is quite a bit more affordable and obtainable, plus those cards are quite stunning. Something to think about.

Do we dare go into all the variations of the Keymaster Tarot and V1/V2 of Cartomancer?

Best of luck on Gatekeeper. That's a tough one to find that I haven't ever seen on sale publicly.

Pluto should be pretty easy to find! You already have one of the hard parts to find: the chips. I haven't been able to find anyone willing to just sell me those.

Gatekeeper maaaay be my very favorite deck, I hope you find one

I just realized this seller had posted a Gatekeeper a while back. He never followed up with my questions so I don't know how communicative he is but he was active two weeks ago. Worth sending him an email? viewtopic.php?p=231443#p231443

Thanks! Definitely worth a shot.

Is the Ultimate the version that Room 17 is placed on in my picture? Because that’s the only one I can find in regards to a Keymaster Ultimate, I know there’s a basic/superior/mini version that I don’t have but are mostly the same as the Ultimate version that I have except for the gilding and luxury card case I think.

Unless you’re talking about a completely different deck but I’m not really finding anything else in regards to a Keymaster Ultimate

Yeah he's referring to the one you already have. Bradius must've just missed that as he was admiring all your acorns, I mean decks.

Ah alright cool, thanks! Was starting to doubt my own search capabilities haha

Oof, I wish I'd known you were looking for those! I gave mine away to a guy who bought my entire Planes set, but then he did spend ~£500 with me.

That guy was me hahahaha! I just don’t have the cover around the case atm cause it blocked 2 of the decks from being shown.

Oh, yeah NOW I see it. I honestly was just thinking that when you mentioned the Gatekeeper, that the Keymaster Ultimate would be a decent substitute. Yeah, I might have missed that given that I have four of them. I have plenty, thanks. Speaking of Gatekeeper. I used to have two of them, but down to one these days. A few change hands, but it is infrequent. Mine though is #001. I am definitely more of a quantity kind of collector.

Did you win some sort of contest or was that pure luck? Amazing.

#111 checking in. The brick embossing on the tuck is my favorite part.

Oh, hey buddy! In that case, you need a thread in the buyers/sellers section.

Ah thanks! Totally forgot about that section tbh.. but made sure to leave a recommendation in yours as well even though it’s late!

Some new additions to the collection, really liking the Royals and the velvet tucks of Damokles feel amazing

Finally had the opportunity to complete this set.

Already had the copper deck, pocket aces didn’t ship internationally when I first found them so when I found out they finally did when I checked by chance a week or 2 ago I took my chance to complete the set. Love the simple luxury feel these decks give me.

My All-In Three Kingdoms holo package finally came in the mail!

Even managed to get #002 of the standard version, that’s a first for me to get a copy that’s that low numbered. The #404 one was a nice one to get as well as my highest number of the 5 that I got.

And of course the AP version.
