The Room17 printing plate was my profile picture on IG for a really long time before I put my current one up, and it's beautiful.

It was you; I remember seeing it but couldn't find it again. You don't own it, then?

I don't own it, but if anyone is curious, I had saved the images that were posted of the plates.

I totally forgot about that auction...cry....

Thanks for sharing those photos though. That is so seriously sweet.

Ooh, that red one …

A little something special that arrived with the Heretic plate:

A wonderful “stumble upon” that I just couldn’t pass on…

PETER FLOTTNER c1545 DECK OF PLAYING CARDS (1993 PIATNIK FACSIMILE)

Very nice.

As soon as I saw these I thought: "I wonder if @acetofive has seen these?"

Well, so much for the 2015 Sachs deck - just arrived and its 2016. Fingers crossed that they sent the wrong one and actually own the right one, but I fear it has slipped through my fingers…

Something snuck into the cabinet…

I recognise that deck …

What's the case you're using for it?

That is a classic deck to sneaky in. One of my favorite decks.

Just chucked it in a standard carat case for the moment

You could charge admission for that display.

Zenmarket parcel arrived…

Why do I now have an urge to see if I can find some old reruns on the internet of ultraman and speed racer....

Snagged some unexpected booty from Japan at a buried treasure price…

And due to someone’s careless posting of a pile of tarot decks, this one caught my eye and then I caught it…

Glad I could be of service!

I really like the style of artwork on the Phantasmagoric deck.

Scored something for the wall from zenmarket - will make room if I have to make a new wall to do it…


“Playing cards and Iroha Karuta. I don't know what kind of magazine it's in, or what year it's from, but if you read the contents of the reading tag (for example, Yakyuu's Tensai Nagashima-kun, Unto Harikire Ganbare Taiho), it's probably at least 50 years old. The size is 39 cm vertically and 27 cm horizontally.”


and a pack of cards from the same line as another recent find…

Don't be surprised when your house turns up in a TripAdvisor listing.

Picked up a pair of these decks from zen - all I know about them is they are “ONE PIECE playing cards purchased at Three Coins”

Should anyone know what Three Coins is, or anything else about the deck I would be most pleased

Thank you so much, would’ve never found them since they were not under playing cards

I searched for “Fuji Trump” in Japanese across Yahoo auctions and Mercari

Fuji Trump = フジトランプ

for the big search, just “trump” in Japanese

Trump = トランプ


If searching for Bicycle cards try Bicycle in english and Japanese with trump in Japanese

After learning the ins and outs, and the pros and cons of my a800 - along with a bargain price - I picked up a Canon T6 which is much superior, and has a lens that lets me get the camera back out of the light box where it belongs. First sample shot in the box on full auto of the color test sheet, going to give it a run for its money on some much overdue card pics…

Trying some “less light, longer exposure, smaller aperture - ISO 100”

I have this thread on speed dial.
