Thanks! Exactly what I don't need is ANOTHER forum to fuel another addiction of mine. Here is a small sampling of my cards, if there is anything in here you want to see more of, or would like a video of, let me know.

And here are my most recent purchases

[shz]

Welcome to the discourse. Quite the collection you've got there.

Quick question with regard to the steamboats in the second picture. Are they opened? And if so, what year are they?

Any-who, have fun and enjoy your time around here

Cheers!

[xela]

Nice collection man.

So, reverse the words in your username and we have Turbo_Mojo which just sounds naughty.

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

Mojo (named from X-Men) and Turbo (I talk too fast) together means "Fast Magic"

My steamboats are opened as are ALL my decks. I play with my cards.



But sorry, I can't find a date on the box anywhere. But I've had em forever. Where would I find out what year they were from? Thanks in advance

[shz]

Not on the box. There should be a date under the ace of spades, I believe.

Not on the box. There should be a date under the ace of spades, I believe.

I could be wrong since I don't have a deck in front of me to look at, but I believe the 2009 reprint edition had all the copyright information on the bottom, including the year and city of manufacture.  The Dan and Dave version has their logo, embossing and a 2012 copyright - they were probably printed in 2012 but not cut and shipped until early 2013.

Other than that, yes, you would have to use the Ace of Spades letter code to get an approximate date of manufacture.  There's more on that subject in the "Fact or Fiction" topic at the top of the Playing Card Plethora board.

When dating your cards, take everything into account - what kind of deck seal was used, the approximate age based on the cards' condition (even unopened decks from many years back will have a small amount of yellowing to them) as well as that of the box (and cellophane, if it is so wrapped), etc.  For example, a tax stamp marked "1 PACK" would give it a manufacture date between 1940 and 1965.  From 1965 into sometime around the early 1980s, they used the company "Spade" stamp, complete with perforations on the edges.  After that, sticker seals were used - and you can sometimes make some conclusions based on the color of the seal, whether the white border has become transparent with age, etc.  It was also around the 1980s that USPC began printing UPC barcodes on the boxes.  Older decks also won't have a cellophane wrapper - the company instead wrapped the cards inside the box with vellum sheets, sealing the paper with a wax seal of the company logo.

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

the ace says  Z2700 at the bottom and the bottom of the case is just a UPC code, I "want" to say that I bought em about 10 years ago or so at a grocery store

[Don Boyer]

the ace says  Z2700 at the bottom and the bottom of the case is just a UPC code, I "want" to say that I bought em about 10 years ago or so at a grocery store

The "Z" indicates it was made in either 1979 or 1999 (I doubt it's older than that!).  If it has a USPC stamp seal (looks and works like an old school postage stamp, complete with perforated edges), that would make it a '79, while a sticker seal (same type used today, probably in either blue or red) would make it a '99.  The next-earlier possible year would be '59, and that would have a "1 PACK" US Internal Revenue tax stamp.

If there's no seal, it probably had a stamp seal on it - they dry out over time and tend to fall off, sometimes leaving glue residue, sometimes not.  The sticker seals don't come off so easily.

So, what kind of seal, bro?  The world wants to know! 

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

ha ha



Well, I was born in 1968, so I am pretty sure that I didn't buy a deck of cards when I was 10. (jk) I'm going to have to say it was from 1999 then, cause this was one of my first decks and back then.... I wasn't careful with the seal. Because it's gone.

Sorry

Depending on how busy that store was, it's not impossible that you got an old deck.  Sticker seals don't just fall off.  Stamp seals do.  Unless you happen to be a "peeler", it might be a '79.

BUT...  You did say it was barcoded!  So no, you're a peeler and it's a '99!  Barcodes on decks came around in the '80s.

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

You did say it was barcoded!

I posted it in the picture above, I was hoping that had a code on it somewhere. You guys have been super helpful, thanks so much! I look forward to learning more.



--------------- added ------------

you're a peeler

ha ha, I USED to be, now I carefully cut the seal with a serrated knife following the outline of the box

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

I posted my cards, so let's post my library. I said somewhere else on this board, I would give you the scope of what I am working with. And right off, let me say that I don't post this to impress you, I post this to show you what an addiction can do, and how overwhelming it is for me to find direction.

Wow! What a massive collection!

Out of all those DVDs, which one do you constantly refer back too?

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

ha ha, well that's the thing....I guess my biggest problem is in my massive collection. In my younger feeverish days, I amassed a canon of videos and books, skimmed em for a few good tricks and then went on to the next big thing. I have been doing that since I started, always feeling the effect of "not having the best" and wanting more. I am such a victim of advertising.

Now, at 44, I turn and look back at this HUGE pile and think. There is several lifetimes of magic in there. I don't need to go forward, I need to go back. So I am just now beginning to take it all in and ask that EXACT question. WHERE?

The truth is, I don't refer back to any of them. I buy and I move forward....it's a ridiculous thing. More than the latest trick, I need direction, I need a map, you know?

Your collection is INSANE... 

A good place to start would be learning basic building blocks.  A lot of what you have are either individual gimmicks or a small selection of tricks, but not as much groundwork.

Good places to start - both in your collection and not...

Card College (both the numbered series and the "Light" series - "Light/-er/-est" are all card work with zero sleight of hand.)
Ammar's "Easy to Master" series - fun classic tricks with some fundamentals.
Basic Card Technique, by Richard Kaufman (Meir Yedid Magic, mymagic.com)
Royal Road to Card Magic
Expert at the Card Table

You go back and read/watch these start to finish, you'll have some kind of firm foundation on which to stand.  Then you go crazy looking for the wicked-cool gimmicky effects.  I'm in a similar situation to you - have lots of instruction material (nowhere near as much as you, though!), haven't done more than skim most of it.  It's why I've basically stopped buying magic until I get through what I have.

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

It's why I've basically stopped buying magic until I get through what I have.

Hi, my name is David and I am an addict.

 

I'm so glad someone else in the world shares my dilemma. Yea, I am not buying any more either. But thank you so much for your recommendations. I picked up the Card Tricks Encyclopedia and have been reading it by my bedside. It's kind of like my "go to " book when I feel I need to start over from scratch.

Thank you so much Don, you have been an amazing help and comfort.

Got my 3 from Theory 11 yesterday, the Love deck (for my wife, so I don't get to play with it - review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD2CD4KPHOI) I bought the Charity Water deck (review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUUeFtsHy2g) and the Rebel deck (review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuonKReWWh4) . But now that I have the rebels, I am kind feeling buyer remorse, I have no idea why didn't get the Artisans instead? It's a much cooler deck. Ah well.

I noticed that the Legends decks were sold out, so I quickly snagged a single deck off ebay (review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahvD6FiWyRo)

and a deck of White Lions while I was at it, to add to my Blaine collection.

[Magic_Orthodoxy]

I was organizing my collection the other day and realized I also have an original ARCO deck, shees - the D & D box looks so spot on, I thought I bought a dupe

[Don Boyer]

I was organizing my collection the other day and realized I also have an original ARCO deck, shees - the D & D box looks so spot on, I thought I bought a dupe

I can tell that the deck on the left is a reproduction, but I don't think it was a D&D repro.  The one on the right is a genuine article Arrco deck.  The Ace of Spades codes are the giveaway.

The deck on the left was manufactured on the 12th week of 2011.  The deck on the right was made on the 48th week of 2006.  USPC in both cases, not Chicago made from the original Arrco factory - those are USPC codes.  Arrco was acquired by USPC in '87.  While most decks use a letter code in addition to the numbers, they've also started introducing longer codes or code variants.

For the deck on the left, "N" is the code used in 2011 (and a few other years as well, cycling in most cases about every twenty years), the numbering to the right has to do with some sort of inventory codes/manufacturing codes (much less important without access to the USPC database) and the four digits to the left of the "N" are the two-digit week number and two-digit year number of precisely when it was printed.  For some reason, the '06 deck left off the letter codes and other codes, going with just the week and year.  It's been known to happen - the codes are generally left off entirely for most custom deck orders and for decks that have "preprinted" faces, like most Congress decks.

In the case of a deck with preprinted faces, USPC will run off a large lot of playing card sheets, only printing the face side of the sheet, placing them in storage until the time comes that they need to complete the deck with a new back design, usually only requiring a portion of the stored sheets.  I believe they do this to save time - they print the faces during some slack time between other projects, then when they need more Congress cards and they have a new design to use for the back, they bust out the pre-printed sheets.  Preprinted sheets are also used, I believe, by Zazzle for their custom-made decks with USPC-licensed faces.  The end result quality is nothing like a real USPC deck, but it's cheap and easy.
