Hi,

My name is Alessandro and I am an Italian card magician, and I love collecting vintage decks and gambling equipment. I am a classical guy, no flourishes or fancy stuff for me, some of you may be like me, some of you don't. My dear friend Digipunk suggested I registered here, and he is right, this decision was perfect!

Anyway, that's all.

Thank you,

Alessandro

Welcome to the discourse!

what is your favorite vintage deck you have?

Welcome to the Discourse

Finally another vintage collector! Give it the forum a search and locate my thread on vintage collection to post and show us some of your collections! I can't wait to see 'em!

I will SX! Aaron, it is a very tough decision for me, as a back design the Racer Back#2 and the 727s are my favourites, together with the Oak Leaf Back (not listed in Robinson's though) and Nautic Back are the ones that come to me off the top of my head. But my favourite vintage decks are the ones that Dai Vernon handled (one of which was made for his birthday) and another which Marlo used.

Ah Oak Leaf. Are you talking about the one which no one's really seen of, but only in guides, or the Leaf Back?
In addition to your favourites, I also really like the Lantern back designs.

I mainly do Bicycle-branded. But clearly you've got other ones. What are your ranges for collecting?

AlessandroPangia · « **Reply #5 on:** March 04, 2012, 12:44:59 PM »

Oak Leaf Back yes, the same model as the ones used by Dai Vernon in "Triumph" in Star's of Magic. Which are the really rare ones. I am a simple collector, I collect Bicycle, Tally Ho, Bee, Arrco and Aristocrats. The main vintage decks I have are made up by those. Sx, I can't find your topic, can you please link it?

You has a problem with I? LoL!!!! Yeah I'm on something.... I on a horse. Just kidding too. I just always feel giddy and happy... but you'll see/notice it if I'm not in the mood or if I'm being extra serious... that means there is something VERY VERY wrong. ^_^

But yeah. GET USED TO THE PURPLE

Thank you very much! I met Digi for the first time on the UC forum. I am really enjoying this forum, very lively people and interesting posts. Brown Baggs, thank you, I try to get as much information as possible to expand my knowledge. By the way, who is in that image?

Lol right. Indirect referencing there.

digipunk · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2012, 04:53:49 AM »

Besides, don't believe what AlessandroPangia said about he enjoys here much, he's lying. I told him this forum more than 1 month ago, and he hadn't been here until yesterday...

xZEROx · « **Reply #24 on:** March 05, 2012, 04:57:20 AM »

Lol maybe that just means he's got a better life out there in the real world then a few of us who spends absolutely too much time on the forum here. >.<
