Hello friends,

I am migrating here from the recently deceased UC, so I figured I'd take this opportunity to tell anyone who cares to read this a little bit about myself. I am a 17 (soon to be 18) year old magician and playing card collector from a suburb near Chicago, Illinois. I am always buying, selling and trading decks just to get opportunities to check them out. I'm very picky about my "permanent collection" - it consists mainly of rare, vintage or valuable decks, all of which are NIB. Besides doing card tricks and collecting decks, my hobbies include graphic design, writing, running cross country / track & field, long walks on the beach and hanging out with friends. I've got a great sense of humor.

Nice to meet you!

- John "Spade" Bendewald

I should rename this forum to ChicagoCards or something. Someone from there signs up every week. :P What part are you from? My girlfriend is from Arlington Heights.

Anyway, welcome to the boards. :]

Heya there John. Welcome to the Discourse! I hope you find it fun here in the land of Aetheria.  Anyway there are a lot of topics which you can feast your eyes on. Then if you want to be updated i with the latest card releases as well as cards in development stages  you can do so in the playing card plethora and the design and development forum. :) We have a neat search function that you can utilize when looking for particular topics. If the topic is non existent in this world you are very much free to start it yourself.

:)

Should you have any questions do not hesitate to message any of the mods and we will see what we can do for ya! :)

Hey, John - welcome to your new "house of cards"!

If you're heavily into vintage, you need to introduce yourself to JMRock - the guy's got a good-sized collection, much of which is vintage.  On eBay I got some circa-1950 New Fan Backs from him, still sealed.
