The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread

[Magasaki]

I got mine this week too. They're really really nice to say the least

[Cbkimble]

Here's what I received that past four weeks while I've been at work. I only used one deck for the collective pic except the Love Is Smoke deck but I have several of most of them. Also I received the gran riserva decks but forgot to post them. One of the Brick XI has numbers 56-60 of each deck. So I've got number 57 of each. That's a plus for me.

[Eoghann]

Damn Kimble. You should change your signature to "Feeding the addiction one BRICK at a time." Impressive haul!

[UtterFool]

I have unfortunately not added too much lately.
However I did just get this today

[Stockholm17]

holy .....
Kimble, you have more heretic than me O_O

[Magasaki]

@ utterfool Cool! Just out of interest, did your tier get a special gift?

[CBJ]

I was able to secure a deck I've been looking for for the last couple years... I'll post pics when it arrives!!!!!! ( <--- 6 exclamation marks = very excited )

[Cbkimble]

Wanna buy some decks.

[Eoghann]

This beauty came in today. With shiny gilded edges. And the free print is the Ace of Pentacles. This is such a lovely tarot!

[Cbkimble]

I am eagerly awaiting that deck. Is it as beautiful as in the photos?

[Eoghann]

I'm very happy with it. The way the minor arcana interlock (per suit only) to make one very long illustration is really something!

Indeed. I got my set as well. Sadly for me they were a Xmas/Birthday gift for my sister so I don't have any....

Yep, technically the only 10 deck tier, same as the 4-deck bonus / gift,.

That looks awesome. Can you tell me the name of the deck / where I could find it?

It's the prisma visions deck that was funded on ks a couple of months back, we have a thread around here but I'm on mobile so just hit the search button

Here ya go: http://www.prismavisionstarot.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They have the prints and tarot decks available there. I'll repost it in the prisma thread as well.

[Eoghann]

Look what came in today! I've caught a whale! I'm sure some of you might recognize this gem.

[Cbkimble]

Ok Daniel, spill the beans. How did you get that deck?

[Eoghann]

If you think I harassed Lorenzo until I wore him down....well although I did bark up that tree, it didn't bear any fruit.

I found it by pure chance on eBay.

I snagged one last week myself, and it was a steal! Jace should like these! (same source)

Still sealed although the box has a few dings, decks are pristine - and no, I didn't get a new camera. (but they arrived today)

[volantangel]

Haha i think Jase already has a set or two of these !

[Mike Ratledge]

I hope so! They seldom escape the British Island.

[Jock1971]

Haha i think Jase already has a set or two of these !

yeah .... i got a couple of them there beauties

[RSLancastr]

I'm not sure, but I think that I have a set of these somewhere too.

I haven't posted anything in this thread/topic for a while because my laptop has been out of commission for a week or two now (I am typing this on my wife's computer). The laptop is where all of my scans of playing cards (including my "grids") are, and it is what my scanner is hooked up to, so I haven't been able to scan any of the decks I have obtained lately.

I have received nine or ten recent USPCC decks (mostly Bikes), a couple of interesting souvenir decks, and I purchased (but have yet to receive) a German-made deck from the 1930s or so (all of my reference books are packed in boxes out in our garage, so I can't look it up) with absolutely GORGEOUS courts which I will scan in and post here, once A) my laptop is fixed, and B) I receive the deck (it is being mailed from Belgium).

Or, I could break the rule about not posting images from an eBay listing, and post it right away!

Best to all,

I finally got my Skyscraper deck (from http://inkstone.net/), apparently they lost my order so when I contacted them a month later they apologized and said they found it and would send right away. They included a bonus Amusements deck for the inconvenience. Good customer service there! Based on their description I missed the fact that these are gilded (silver for Skyscraper and gold for Amusements) so that's pretty neat. I'm not a fan of tin boxes for decks, but these are still one of the better art deco/vintage skyscraper decks I've seen for images, but the quality is thick cardboard and doesn't handle very well especially with the gilded edges. Still a must have deck since I'm a huge art deco and skyscraper fan. More photos at PCDB https://playingcarddb.com/dbdeck?id=2885 and https://playingcarddb.com/dbdeck?id=2884

The other deck is the Russian Folk Art which I already complained about the weird orange tone to the tuck in that thread.

[Bikefanatic]

Just these lately.

[DragonSoul]

Well, I'm a little bummed. I was kicking myself for not backing the Prisma deck on KS so I went to order one from their site even though it was $10 more. However, they sold out before I completed the order. So, I went to ebay and was psyched to find one for the same price. It came in today (with the 4" x 6" print of the Ace of Chalices) BUT, a card is missing. The three of Pentacles is gone. I sent them a message and asked to see if it had accidentally gotten left out but, they say they only took them out to take a picture for ebay. Not sure how to handle this now. Darn, those edges look pretty...

[Eoghann]

Well you did pay for a full deck so there's that. Maybe you can negotiate a discount? It's happened to me before where someone forgets to mention that a deck is missing jokers for instance and they advertise as full deck. I've gotten partial and even full refunds. Worst case scenario maybe you can contact the artist, perhaps he can hook you up with the missing card. Gotta go double check mine when I get home.

[RSLancastr]

Hey guys,

I thought I'd start a thread so members can show off items that they've added to their collection.
If you get some new stuff in.. SHOW US !

Please.. no stock photos of products that are on the way to you. Once you've received the items, take pics and post them!


CBJ

You're not the boss of me!!

Besides, they aren't "stock photos", they're just some scans the seller made of the courts.

I won't be receiving them for another week or three!! - but, with luck, my laptop will be working by then and I'll have access to my scanner once more!
