Seems like some of the Kickstarter campaigns are starting to come out. Alis Luminis turned up a couple of weeks back and now these beauties.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
These may be of interest to a few American collectors.
Burnham, Parry, Williams & Co`s Iron Horse Playing cards printed by the NY Consolidated Playing Card Co.
Printed around 1876 for M.W. Baldwin & Co ( A different Baldwin Engine can be seen on each court card)
The cards are printed with only two colours on cheap card with no finish. As you can see by the pictures the cutting was all over the place.
The only information i could find on these cards was in an "Potter & Potter" auction catalog from 2016, the catalog indicates that the pack could have been made for and given away free at the 1876 Exhibition of Baldwin Engines.

Damn 
. Crazy good courts for that time imo. Looks so much better/more crisp than a lot from that period. Incredible, amazing find.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
I picked up some decks today also had some arrive. Some of this is restocks for me and some of it is new to me. Still some of these decks are Shelf decks. Decks I have no plans on using are, for me, shelf decks. They're just to enhance me collection with fun and as we can see nothing here is incredibly rare, but all fun! A little bit of a game if anyone cares to play.
Would anyone care to guess which ones the shelf decks are?

Naa, I'll use the Neos. It's the Low Vision Ace playing cards, they're the shelf decks. Just for memories.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
I have to make a correction that the deck in the picture is not the 1890 Cartes Indiennes but the 1985 Venice Simplon Orient Express deck. Still, a great one though.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
Couple new bikes added to me pile. Surprisingly few were received by the local walmart. I've long suspected I'm not the only collector in the area and thought perhaps someone reached them before my own self was able. However after speaking with the lovely lady that stocks the racks and keeps what tucks she can dent free, they just didn't get many in at all. If you see them at your local or somewhat local store be sure to grab yours. I think given the circumstances of the year, these two decks will be harder to come by than we'd all like. I snagged a pair of each so someone else could have a deck too without paying shipping etc.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
Comic cons, Magic cons, Auction houses possibly. Something has to show up in your general area at some point I'd think. If there are no Magic shops near you, maybe one not too terrible far? Closest Magic Shop to me that sold any playing cards was 130-140 miles (210-225 KM) away but it closed up. Now the closest one is 175 miles (282 km) away. If that one closes up I'm gonna have to go the other direction. Makes me greatful for the walmart.Harvonsgard wrote: βSat Jul 18, 2020 2:01 pm I wish I would know how it feels to buy a deck of custom playing cards physically

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
I found my white whale on Ebay today! I am still in shock. I know people will probably crap on me for how much I spent but I thought this was a super reasonable price for this deck! I seriously cant wait to get it. I am so so happy and lucky that I was on the moment John posted it.

Ah, you got it from our very own Spectre. I agree it is a ton of money, but it is so hard to get. I was not fast enough to get one when they went on sale.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread
ya tons of money but man blue is my fav color on cards and this one with the blue and gold just really was my white whale so ya i went for it. And i am super excited
one of the annoying things about coming into this hobby late is that you see all these things you could have gotten at a cheap but now if you want them have to pay crazy prices. a good thing is that there is a pretty big backlog of awesome cards to get! so you dont have to wait half a year for stuff that you like. pros and cons i guess. Still so so happy i got this deck! its priceless to me-
