Nice load Bhong.  Those Imps are awesome.  I can't wait for them to arrive.  Actually I should go check the mailbox right now!

Nope, standard issue aside from the tuck.

Second pic is a deck of Silver Monarchs made for the restaurant Eleven Madison Park in NYC.

Nice score Brown!  Those first three in the second row, I don't recognize that design.  What deck is that?

But there's no denying that my wife would be far more pleased if my units looked more like furniture, less like storage!
Well Don, this is one of the reasons I'm looking at this option, lol

You have some great points, and yes I noticed the difference in drawer size, I still need to go look at these things to be sure. But you right about the weight issue. I want to see how these drawers move, are they on rails, etc...

Still have some homework to do on them. Thanks for the input  ;)

Here's a thought - I seem to recall that architects will often store blueprints unrolled and flat in long drawers very similar to that cabinet.  I also seem to recall that many of them are made of metal.  THAT should easily defeat any weight issues as well as being a little more furniture-like than my setup.  It would just be a matter of just how furniture-like they are, whether the drawers are deep enough and just how much they cost...

I just had an interesting idea...  Anything can be made "furniture-like" if you put it INSIDE a piece of furniture...  Perhaps I could find a cabinet or an armoire without shelves that's just big enough to hold my storage drawers!  I can't imagine my wife being upset with that, right?

Bingo Don!  I've been working really hard trying to hammer this storage bit out.  I've got a ton of decks that I don't need to display.  I think the nicest two ways i've resigned myself to are...

#1 An antique card catalog cabinet.  Such as you would see in a library.  These can be beautiful pieces of furniture and are basically designed for the purpose I want them to carry out.

#2 A vintage blueprint or architects cabinet.  A four or five drawer model fitted with a glass or wood top would be perfect coffee table size, be a cool vintage piece of furniture and store a lot of decks laying flat.

Problem I've encountered is these two options are hard to find and thus expensive.  New (non vintage) models of option #2 are readily available but still quite pricey. 

As it is I will continue to visit local antique dealers and let them know to keep their eyes open for these items for me.

Nice Grabs there Sparkz.  All classics you snagged.  Enjoy!

158
Thanks Sparkz.  I hope this link will suffice.  I don't open my decks so no actual pic forthcoming from me.   :(

Same here.  +1 for Alex.

I will say that Sprouts shows an overwhelming level of devotion to his project.  He has put a tremendous amount of preliminary work into this.  I am definitely in for one when the project rolls.  The artwork seems like it will be solid and even if I don't like the deck it's a guaranteed conversation piece for the backstory and extra cards.  Fight the power Sprouts, Don't let the man keep you down!   :D

Yup, you can put whatever you see fit.  Here are the columns on my spreadsheet...

Deck Name
Multiples
Production location
Date
Finish
Stock
Hyperlink to a review or Pictures of deck if no review is available
Maker/Designer

I find this is enough info for me.  I could easily add a lot more or remove some if I wanted.  This is just what I find useful.

Great interview Rob.  Awesome work you're doing over there at the NDR.  Keep it up!

164
Pics look pretty awesome.  Classic stuff you picked up there.  Nice work!

Real or not it's not impossible to alter colors..........this is a quick fix example, so a trained graphic artist with the right programs can do just about anything. I hope they do come to fruition, I'm kind of liking the brown on many decks I've seen


I don't want a Madison poop colored deck. Even if the Wynn's came in brown, that does not mean Madison has to do it. Next...

@Marcus

I honestly don't know where you got this picture from? I have to agree with Sparks. Altering color on photo's is entertaining. Its just fun when people like you react to it this way. Make sure your getting the picture or information from a credible source. Also, please provide the link to your source.

When did Madison ever say he liked the brown Wynn's? I know he likes the red/scarlet Wynn's. Hence scarlet rounders and scarlet dealers.

Read the previous posts.  He provided the link to Brad from Ellusionist's facebook page.  Title of the post from Brad was "My kitchen counter right now".  Probably not a credible source there.   ???

They posted over on UC.  They are the owners of ManCrates.  They are apparently aware they could be upside down on the project but plan on rolling some capital from their website in if there is interest enough to meet their goal.  I assume they will just resell the leftovers on their site.  Don't know if this helps clear anything up, just thought I should chime in with the info from the horses mouth.

Playing Card Plethora / "October Playing Card Bonanza" from CARC
« on: October 11, 2013, 11:31:39 PM »
Got an email today from CARC.  Didn't see it posted here.  Pretty awesome deal.  Here is the meat of it.


"October Playing Card Bonanza!
 

$275 Value for Only $124.99 pstpd in the US!
12 Premium Legends decks (mixed colors)
12 Skull & Bones® decks (mixed colors and finishes)
1 Special Edition Skull Deck (known to sell for up to $75.)
2 Luxury Brick Boxes
1 Pack Jacket (perfect to hold your special Skull & Bones® deck)
"

I rechecked the math and came up with a $284 value.  Either way great deal if you have $125 to spend.  Legends are some of my favorite cards, I don't have a Hybrid S&B deck and who couldn't use more deck storage boxes.  No brainer for me.

FYI Free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. but $40 for canada and $50 everywhere else.  Still shakes out to be a decent deal but not quite as mouth watering.

Just completed a successful trade with Josh aka kdklown.

Red Jerry's Nugget for a Blue Jerry's Nugget Deck with included Certs from Lee Asher. Very smooth transaction, using a go between for a pseudo face-to-face exchange where the decks could be examined first.

+1 for Walther.  Big win for both of us this evening.  Smooth Transaction.

So, how many times have you maxed out the character limit Don?   ;)

Picked up some classics from Jason Brumbalow.  Smooth transaction.  Arrived quick and in good condition.  Thanks!

171
Thanks Guys, in the future I'll try to remember to list the decks for your perusal.  Dons list is correct though.

Todays acquisitions!

Only problem, I am in america :(

My exact thought John..........but a nice offer JP  :)

Me too but our Euro members get hosed on just about every other playing card shipping front.  So we can take this one on the chin.  Great promo JP!

Don quick question for you...  You always refer to the United States Playing Card Company as USPC.  Most others myself included refer to them as USPCC, using all five initials.  However, I can't remember ever seeing you correct anyone on the forums.  Maybe you tried and have given up or maybe you just shorten it for ease of operation.  I would want to correct my usage if it wrong.  Just curious.  Thanks.
