Playing Card Plethora / Re: Bicycle Revision 1 Playing Cards
« on: March 24, 2012, 09:04:21 AM »Have you guys considered contacting Adam and Russ on the CCCC website? I'd think that's the fastest route to getting a customer service issue settled.
They sent me an unsecured tube and everything fell out. I sent a message via Kickstarter page, they admitted fault and said they are resending. That was on 3/9!!! I've sent e-mails atclarkson@gmail.com and Adam@circlecitycards.com THREE times and have gotten no response. I'm at a point now where I am looking at getting my money back and just avoiding Kickstarter all together because this is F'ing ridiculous. I could've gotten these cards elsewhere already. The headache and lack of customer service simply isn't worth the few dollars I was going to save.
TL:DR - GRRRRRR

If the deck looks nice enough, I'll buy four. Three to store and one for display.
Unless of course they're crazy expensive. (I'm looking at you Moth deck!!!

« on: February 09, 2012, 05:49:34 PM »@Tigerknee...I hear yah. I'm doing that now actually. It's my 2012 resolution
I'm looking at about 200+ now. I'm not somebody who usually makes big orders from E, T11, or D&D. I just back Kickstarters and then buy a deck or two here and there. I think it's more fun that way.

« on: February 06, 2012, 02:38:39 PM »MAME comes on a JAMMA board now?
That's awesome. I'll admit I missed everything Street Fighter between World Warrior and vanilla SF4 (detour via Killer Instinct, Soul Calibur and, primarily, Lucas Arts adventure games) but I've really gotten into fighting games since then. I've been wanting to build a MAME cab for ages, your one looks great. Made a few sticks;
That last one is finished and is my main stick now (Happ and Crown buttons, JLF stick). I've been keeping an eye out for a decent defunct cab but to no avail thusfar.
Impressive man!

« on: February 04, 2012, 07:08:15 PM »Just to say, when I made that previous post about being able to relate to a card addiction, I didn't quite know the extent of your collection. xD
You have mightily outdone me on this addiction, my friend. As I can imagine most others on this forum have.
But honestly, watching your collection video, I think you have about 20 times the decks that I have. And that's not even me exaggerating!
I wish I could make the video shorter for all the ADD folks but there are too many decks. And it took me HALF a day to make the video. Needless to say, I'm not doing that again any time soon.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: De'vo's Blades, Blood Edition
« on: February 04, 2012, 06:54:17 PM »''De'vo's Blood Edition coming in April. $6.99 each, High Performance stock and finish. Blades Midnight Back design in red, Blades White Edition Faces with darker red. Custom ad card and Box tuck with red accents. Same awesome Blades stock and finish. Subtle back design changes make it pop more than any other Blades deck. It really grabs your attention and is beautiful for XCM.''
-De'vo
I was hoping for a somewhat different design but he says, "Blades Midnight Back design in red, Blades White Edition Faces with darker red"
Looks great though!
Thank you for the $6.99 price! Getting sick of these new releases going at $8.99 - $9.95

« on: January 27, 2012, 07:22:57 AM »i want to get some bee Watermelons
Are you simply begging, or offering to trade or buy?
Everyone wants to get practically everything! Was there something MORE you wanted to add?
@TKnee: the whole damn collection looks awesome. And HUGE.
You aren't married, are you? No offense meant; it's just that it would be the rare wife who would appreciate a hobby that someone's that deeply into unless her husband made so much cash that it simply didn't matter.
At the least, you're inspiring me to better organize my collection for greater visual impact and accessibility.
Yes I'm married. Wife isn't too fond of the collection to be perfectly honest. I can totally understand where she's coming from though because my collection has started to go past the "collecting" phase and into the hoarding.
That said, SHE was the one that bought me the shelf for my birthday 
so she's a little understanding. My main excuse was "Honey, I'm going to make money off of this in the future!" so she says "prove it!". I sold a pair of damaged Garden decks for $275 and that shut her up pretty quick.Anyway, the days of me getting a brick of each new release are definitely over. The price of decks have gone up to high to the point where I can't justify to myself to spend so much on a brick. These days, I'm settling for just 3-4 of every new release.

« on: January 27, 2012, 07:18:36 AM »Four deep?! I thought it was two. That is unbelievable. I dont have words for how impressive that is.Seconded!
Seriously, how many decks are on that bookshelf (roughly)? And how many Bee Watermelons do you have?
Not counting the ones inside of bricks on top, there are 1,627 in there. As for Melons, I had 17 bricks but I just traded off three. As you can see, those are my favorite decks!
Shoot! 17 bricks is insane. There are one a few decks that I would ever want that many bricks of haha. That's pretty incredible. How long have you been collecting?
December 2009
The reason I have such accurate numbers is because I have all my decks on an Excel spreadsheet with the name, price I paid, date purchased and description!

Thanks for the kind words. The rows of decks are actually four deep. Wish I had another shelf for the rest of my decks! But as someone already mentioned (and as most of you can tell), it's a bookshelf You can just go to Ikea and find it quite easily.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: Post your full collection
« on: January 23, 2012, 03:24:15 PM »That video is madness!! How many deck is that? I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't count them all. Do you plan on trading/selling them or do you just want to keep them.
Right now I have almost 3,500 decks. I've sold exactly TWO decks and I've traded about three bricks. I don't feel to comfortable parting with them to be honest. It would have to be a pretty enticing deal to make me budge. That said, each deck means a lot to me (as absurd as that sounds) and I don't know if I'll ever stop collecting.

I meant comment on that before but what is there to say? That collection is... nuts. Every time I was thinking 'Well, he doesn't have x', cut to the next part and you have 3 bricks of x. It really is just awesome. Nothing more to say.
Well that's all because of my hoarding issue that I've developed. My new year's resolution is to tone down a bit. I had a habit of buying a brick of each deck that came out. But now I'm only going to do two or three. It doesn't help that the cost of decks are going up to almost $10 nowadays. That factor seems to be pushing me away from hoarding even more.
