[HFMJ] My collection

Unread post by HFMJ »

Hello everyone,

I have wanted to start a thread showing my collection for a couple of years, but for all kinds of reasons, I never did.
Now, due to this virus I have more time and I thought it would be a good moment to start this thread.
I thought of a way to make things maybe more interesting and interactive. I have mainly modern decks, but also some old European decks and some novelty decks. If you would like pictures of a kind of deck, you can comment and I will try to post a deck from that category. Most of my modern decks can be seen here: https://www.portfolio52.com/profile/364/collection
I will start my thread showing the amazing Pinocchio decks from Passione. I consider them among the best from them, and also in my entire collection. I just love the illustrations made by Elletra, and I am a fan of fully custom decks. And Pinocchio really is fully custom, having different courts for the blue and red decks. I recently acquired also the special double deck box, which is also very nice.
I hope you will like them as much as I do.

P.S. I didn't find yet a style for taking the photos(maybe I show too much, but this deck really deserved), if you have some suggestions, I am open to them. :D

Here are the rest of the photos for Pinocchio deck.

Can I somehow add more than 8 photos per post?

Here are some decks I bought a few years ago, from a local seller, Salto Casinos playing cards.
I don’t know very much about them, I looked online, but didn’t find any information, except a Salto casino in Uruguay. But nothing about the decks.
They are casino style decks, bridge size and made by Piatnik. I like very much the colours and design on the backs, especially the green and mint ones. The mint deck is the only one with standard indexes, the rest of the decks have jumbe index cards.
They handle pretty good for a smooth finish. I made some fans to try and show the handling.
I really like the look and feel of the decks. They are very nice for a casino style deck.
If you have more information about them, please share them here.

How did I miss the Pinocchio pictures 😳? Such a great deck and nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

These are After Hours playing cards.The name is taken from The Weeknd’s last album.
I saw them first in a Chris Ramsay video a few months back and I thought they are pretty nice.
I like the back, the jokers and the courts, even if they are semi repeating. The box and the Ace of Spades seem like Bicycle ripoffs.
There isn’t any info on who printed them. They have a very basic air cushion finish, so the handling isn’t so good. They are very thick, I compared them to an Aviator deck by D&D, 54 cards in each deck and After Hours had 11 cards worth of thickness extra.
