You know how things usually go on the internet forums. I've been lurking around for way to long now, but not anymore. And it feels nice to finally take the time to register in a playing cards forum and actively participate.
Well, let me introduce myself, my name is Gustavo and I'm from Brazil. I've been collecting since late 2010 and I consider myself a newbie in terms of cardistry, although it's something that really interests me.
I see playing cards as small pieces of artwork. Having the opportunity to own some of them is rewarding to me because I believe beauty and awesomeness can make our lives better. Having a hobby like a collection is a way to express oneself and expose your identity and tastes to people around you.
I hope I can meet some of you guys and successfully engage into discussion.
Since I'm not a native English speaker, I'd appreciate possible corrections.
Thanks!
