I love languages and playing cards, so I love your idea. (I've studied French, Italian, German, Russian, and Spanish.) However, I am a bit dismayed that even in the sample cards you show, there appears to be a misspelling. (Jack of spades has "quierro" when I'm pretty sure it should only h...

cambric is code for air-cushion on Bee stock

That really wasn't my primary question. What's the Limited Edition version? How is it different?

How many variations of the "Ask Alexander" deck are there? Dan and Dave seem to have one ($7.95) and it's unclear which finish. Penguin Magic shows three items: -- one in Ivory finish ($4.49) -- one in Cambric finish ($4.49) -- and one called Limited Edition ($5.99) Is there really a Limit...

Piff was on America's Got Talent recently and was absolutely hysterical!!!

Just a formatting note: your question for exporting a collection shows in the wrong color as the HTML color tag has a typo in it (so shows also just as text).

Ha. Fortunately digital technology made it possible without my having to do that!!

I am sad to see this campaign cancelled, but glad it will be relaunched. I realize I'm new at collecting cards, but this (to me) is one of the most beautiful decks I've seen. I'd rather have one of these than two or three decks of some others out there that get all the hype, have people slobbering a...

FYI, it looks like the OP's screenshot on the Kindle Fire HDX tablet (which uses an Amazon-proprietary OS based on Android), too (i.e., unusable).

I just figured that area was still under development.

Very interesting interpretations! I'm going to have to look at my deck again more closely. Thanks.

Yeah same happened here.

Same for me.

My last post about the new Perth Mint silver aces coming out made me think of other card-related silver art. Here are pics of the four .999 fine silver one-ounce ingots minted in the 1970s by Madison Mint: Coin972(1).jpg Coin973(1).jpg Coin977(1).jpg Coin978(1).jpg (Bear in mind, these are shiny sil...

Perth Mint is coming out with a Limited Edition set of four aces in elaborate one-once .999 fine silver ingots next month. More info can be found here for anyone interested: http://www.perthbullion.com/shop/detail/fouracessco4/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick=&...

A huge "lost feature" for me is that V2 of PCDB is virtually unusable with my go-to browser. Unfortunately, I'm using a once-state-of-the-art PC with Windows Vista 64-bit OS and IE9 is the highest version of IE it will supposedly support. I can do everything I need to do with my PC (quad p...

I agree with what others said once you start browsing eBay and Kickstarter, not to mention the posts here! It's catching! This thread also reminded me that I have a couple of tarot and Oracle decks that I should add to my collection record (and show off in my collection thread here), too, so I'll po...

I have gotten in.

Very cool, good stuff! I'm also in IT and even had to take COBOL in college (this was late 90s mind you, not sure why!). I also fly quads and am looking to build my own FPV quad soon. I have an arduino kit, but haven't found much time to play with it between all my other projects (including finishi...

My database is a mySQL database and my display pages and entry/edit pages are done in PHP. I wanted also to keep track of cost, extra cards, tuckbox features, etc., so with my own DB, I can have whatever fields I want. I'm sure I have a lot that no one else would want, like a rating from 1 to 5 for...

Fun to see your cards; thanks for sharing. I never imagined the bunny cards would be in the same shape as the tin! Wild! And you're right about those eyes on those eerie courts. Looks like the artist got a little heavy-handed with the black ink. Cute kitties in that Artist Collection. I just may hav...

I love pressed pennies, but gave the half-dozen or so that I had collected to a young nephew years ago. As for other collections, though, I collect golf balls, dolphins (not live ones, though that would be awesome if I had an aquatic resort), Smurfs, and silver art (e.g., the one-ounce rounds and ba...

I just read through all 5 pages of this thread to try to see what symbology of "contraband" I was missing in these cards, but it appears that there really isn't any or very much. There is Latin, Italian, and a bunch of everything else insofar as designs go, but I guess it was misnamed just...

Thanks for taking this out of my thread (on something else), but I'm glad it came up. I'd never thought about the order on the uncut and how it pertained to the order in the tuckbox. (I guess I thought it was all magic! LOL)

Very interesting!

The quality is in the same ballpark as the Penguin video (little less contrast, less bright, hollow/tinny sound but certainly watchable). Should note that in the first few minutes he recommends the book outirght (although he says the video is still "good"). The last volume is on memorizin...

Hi everyone. I'm Jenny, an avid tarot and oracle card collector and I'm interested in custom created playing card decks now, (for cartomancy and the odd solitaire game!) and I found this forum while googling information. I'm looking at decks on kickstarter and the collections of people on here and ...

I'm not familiar with the DVD, so I will let someone else comment, but the Tamariz Stack is still popular, I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think David Blaine uses it even on his recent decks (AKA "mnemonic" stack). You're right. I've gotten a couple of decks in the ...

Hi. Has anyone here seen Juan Tamariz' DVD set "Mnemonica Miracles"?? What are your thoughts about the quality? I'm only asking because the set isn't cheap ($150+) and even in the promo video for it, the fact that the recordings were made over ten years ago is mentioned and a comment is ma...

They look less artistic this way, but they are easier to see as a grid:

Here are my cardbacks. (Anyone, feel free to let me know the actual, technical name for the back design of a card, if there is one. "Cardback" is probably not correct.)

I like these a lot. I didn't make it in time to be the first level early-bird backer, but with the pledge I did, I'll have extras for gifts. Nice job! Good luck with the campaign!
