Love them bees

I think the way Ark is going it should be about three campaigns from now when they offer a Lamborghini with a deck in the trunk.

Sure, I could have given the AI a second chance at the text, but I do like the babble in this case…

Taiath the Grain!

Bone card sets came in - from my research the pointing Uncle Sam was 1917 WWI era, so these are likely from the 1920s…

I was hoping she was going to get traditional thick (dare I say hand wrapped) ones made - perhaps one day…

Picked up a copy of the new deck - hopefully someone will grab and post pics of the old so we can see if they are cleaned up…

There are a few other hanafuda at MPC - two others I found of note:

I’m in for a pair of BT, and in cases such as this, a blatant, tireless and tiresome optimist.

honestly he has to do it. he’s the only one that can operate the machine that keeps track of it. we are training replacements but it will be years before they are ready…

I think I got confused with the other wallet style pics - thought that was the one you got

- the one above appears the same as mine, First Edition, but mine is black leather (or a very dark blue)

- also seem to have missed my notice or been forgotten, same labels as yours too…

As far as I remember they are standard

Finally managed to snag one at a good price…

Thanks - It was just a thing I was playing around with a long while back, seeing what it took to make a deck at MPC - was screwing around with the backs, decided to make a tuck to see what it was like, never made it around to the faces

Nice - but don’t strain yourself looking for that deck - it’s a one off

Well, there may be a high ratio, but there has been a smattering of enthusiasm, praise and support tucked away in there.

What deck is your current av?

I gave that ebay set a far more reasonable but still generous offer, thus it is now on the way…

Unfair marketing tactic of too much too love. I’m calling my lawyer.

I think that Dali Design is separate from the card production as I see nothing marked that way on my set, so perhaps put together? (though still Dali) I guess not actually, as I don’t have tucks…. Some printing must have had tucks, perhaps all in such leather cases - haven’t found any others of eith...

Might want to take that one to the Thunderdome, if not, perhaps we keep it short or sweet

Looking at the AoS and the design of the case (not the design on the case) cards were from same maker as these three:

(the civil war one is on ebay now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313373501419)

Honestly I have no idea if this is old and real, old and fake, or just a tourist thing from some part of the world, but I threw money at it without thought or regret… Handmade set of bone playing cards and case… cards are 1 1/4” x 3/4” box is 4 1/4 × 2 3/8 × 1 inch deep IMG_1408.jpeg IMG_1410.jpeg I...

And this little Swiss number arrived the other day…

The Ye Witches deck…

It has been a very good day for collecting indeed…. They didn’t have decent pics, but decks are expected to be pretty immaculate - will get some pics when they arrive…

Looks like I'll be out of luck anyway. Legends uses Shopify and isn't configured to ship to where I am, so that won't even be an option fo rme. Just tried to do a test order (wanted to find out shipping) and basically it won't take my address. Try their contact form - they have been pretty easy to ...

Not sure if they are savvy enough to realize they made it tough - they might be able to set up a mailing list if you ask

Now that I am re-reading the post, I think its a haiku…

Nope, asked chat for some help - haiku would be:


Nine days and counting,
Orthodox Easter lingers,
Bullshit, slow trek, best.


Not sure it captured the feeling as well…. I really feel the loss of the “at”
