For me this is it. I LOVE my Jaqk Cellars deck, and I used it for everything. I used it for magic, solitaire, and other card games, so it's had a pretty tough life. This is when things get bad. One day I was babysitting, and the kids wanted to see a magic trick. Since little kids are fascinated by anything, what I decided to do was get a blue Crayola marker, without them seeing, I wrote a "6" on the palm of one hand, and a "Heart" on the other, forced that card and TA-DA! Everything went perfect but when I looked at the sides of the cards the were covered in blue ink, and to this day still are.

What stupid things have you done?

I drop my deck of precious red dragon backs (I love those cards) in a puddle of water, like a serious puddle of water, there are water stains on the deck but it is still perfect, if anything dropping it in water made it better.

Practicing Zarrow shuffles with my Bee deck. I have another one and they're not too valuable but I'm HORRIBLE at this move and the cards are all bent and crimped now. I also broke open a brand new standard Bike deck purely to see how fast/hard I could throw individual cards at the wall. Serious chippage, one or two are MIA on the floor somewhere.

I have done the same with my bikes. Probably not the best idea :/.

Meh; they're only Bikes (spot the snobby collector

).

honestly, i try to be extremely careful with my cards because i dont like wasting money. So really the dumbest thing ive done is not wash my hands before practicing; i only do this when im using a deck i can easily purchase though.

When I was beginning of magic.
My cards get clumb and I want them to fan like new again.
And I searched somewhere in google and found that the cold weather can make cards handle better. So,-(With my stupidness at 4 years ago)- I put to it the fridge...
The cards soak all humid from fridge and can never be fan again. T-T

Ok, it's only a normal bicycle, but I believe this was the most stupid thing I did with cards

2 things:
1. I let total muggles use my Sentinels in a game of spoons.(I don't think I need further explain)
2. I brought my aladdins to the pool the day after I opened them. I no longer have the box.

so with the fridge yea has to suck. with the sentiles - man i read that and felt bad for you.

Muggles? Haha.
Hey actually we are one of them, except we would say we are mud-blood (Unless your parents do magic too)

I saw many complaint like this before, so don't use sentinels- just good for collection

John B. · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2011, 02:29:06 PM »

yea i might get some for collection only.

The sentinels are cool but they last like a day. Also, the box is cooler than the actual cards... that means something.

John B. · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2011, 02:46:05 PM »

yea it should be the other way around.

Evan · « **Reply #17 on:** October 06, 2011, 02:49:16 PM »

I agree. If only they lasted longer....

loldudex2 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 06, 2011, 02:49:37 PM »

Aren't the Sentenels like in a museum or something?

John B. · « **Reply #19 on:** October 06, 2011, 02:50:39 PM »

they are a very cool looking deck from thery11

Evan · « **Reply #20 on:** October 06, 2011, 02:50:57 PM »

I think they were. Lol thats just ridiculous. They don't belong in a museum. They look nice but not THAT nice.

I agree. If any deck belongs in a museum, it's a Rider Back deck. The back is so iconic and recognizable, I think it deserves to be on display so people can admire a truro piece of art.

Lol i don't think so.
