Introduce Yourself / Re: I must have been living under a rock....

I call home, London.

1,800 decks! Where do you put them all! LOL!
I was bitten by the bug a while ago, I've just managed to keep it under tight control. If I didn't I'd probably be broke by now. ;) But I do look forward to reading the topics here. It will probably help me focus on what decks will make my collection more robust, but still keep it under control.

Introduce Yourself / Re: How did you find PlayingCardForum?

I'm at work, wearing my CF-18 Canada 150 shirt, when one of my coworkers says, "Love your shirt!" (He's a plane enthusiast.) I told him I bought it in Ottawa on July 1st (2017), at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. I also told him I bought a nice deck of cards there as well, and that the deck had a different plane on each card. He said, "Cool." I told him I collect cards and that I have over 175 decks. He said, "I didn't know you collected playing cards." I said, yup! I then told him that I'm now looking to buy older decks. He then tells me about decks that were made during the war. The decks had plane identification symbols on them so that the guys could learn them and still have something to pass the time with. I thought that was really cool! So I did a Google search for them. I found many images, but one caught my eye and I clicked on the link to it's host website ... and I got this forum! LOL!

Introduce Yourself / I must have been living under a rock....

I've been collecting cards for over 20 years. I have no idea when or why it turned into a hobby/collection for me, but it did! I have over 175 decks! A few are tarot cards and specific game cards (like UNO). I'm now trying to find old/vintage cards, or at least ones that mimic them.

I'm from Southwestern Ontario, Canada, and calling me JennK is perfectly fine. :)
