Playing Card Plethora / Re: Vegas Playing Cards (KS)

This name sounds too familiar.  I think that he tried once before to make a deck project on KS, but under a different account.

You're probably thinking of Benji Taylor, creator of the ICON deck.

Nope.  There was a young British kid who tried getting a deck made on KS and it was a dead-simple design and terrifically too small of a goal for the project to succeed unless he exceeded it by a few orders of magnitude.  But this guy appears like he's approaching adulthood, so maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Let me clarify: when you say you think "he tried once before," you're probably thinking of Benji Taylor, creator of the ICON deck. That's the young British kid. Benji first tried Kickstarting some trilogy project. He then deleted the account when that campaign failed, tried one re-print deck before he launched his ICON deck successfully.

This Benjy appears to be someone else altogether.

Glad you like it, Don.

Sorry about the location--I'd posted in the same forum where I found the $2 single-deck display stand thread.

The Source - Card Collecting 101 / Card and tuck display
« on: June 04, 2014, 03:50:40 AM »
For the folks who frequent both the PCF and UC boards, you may have already seen this, but for those who haven't: I wrote up a fairly detailed set of instructions on how I constructed a display to show off both a handful of cards and a tuck.

Here's a summary:
I open my decks because I collect cards for the cards. I want to display card faces, but I don't have the money or space for uncut sheets. The basic idea was to create a display to show off both cards and tuck from readily available materials at an affordable price.
  • The simplest display (10" x 18" that only holds cards) was assembled entirely from things found at the local hardware store and cost less than $10. The only tool required was a drill for the holes.
  • The larger display (14" x 10") was sized so that I could get two full displays out of a single sheet of 20" x 32" acrylic that was available at the hardware store. The cost of materials and hardware was close to $10 per display as well, but requires a plastic cutter (which is pretty darn cheap) in addition to a drill.
All in all, it's a fairly simply DIY project and an inexpensive way to display things in a fairly small space, but I'm still refining the design.
