How did you find PlayingCardForum?

[RoseIllustrates]

I was googling how to design a custom deck of cards.

I am looking for other collectors of playing cards,
for collector exchange.
That's why I searched Google for various texts.
Among other things, the text
"I am a collector of playing cards, forum"
... and that's how I got here.

Hi everyone! It's Gist here based in london and small card collector. I found out about the forums through some associates and reddit. I am involved in design new cards concepts.

Was just browsing the web trying to find a decent playing card forum in contrast to United Cardists (🤢🤮) and discovered this! 😀

It's been a while since I've headed over to UC - they're not all that bad.  I know the guy who runs it, he's a 52+J member.  We tend to be more polite, while they tend to get more posting traffic.

My friends Phil Bollhagen and Matt Schacht led me to the club. They both mentioned it many times, and Matt referenced several newsletter articles, and I finally got curious enough to check it out. I signed up for a one year membership and was instantly hooked on all the great content. I just signed up for another 3 years!

I have just got into card collecting and was searching for beginners tips and this site with a 101 guide appeared. Most useful and all seemed to be friendly so here I am!

Welcome to the forum, DJ!

I looked you up on the club roster, saw you are a member and upgraded your account here to 52 Plus Joker Member.  You now have access to the Members' Only board as well!

Looking forward to seeing you at next week's CONVENTION! 

[djrosen]

Thanks! Wait, next week?!

Sorry you missed that one - it was a virtual convention.  The next 52+J convention will be in mid-September in Niagara Falls, NY - I'm really looking forward to that one, since it's in my home state.  If you can't attend, there will be a mix of virtual and live in the events, so you have a chance to get in on the action - more details forthcoming.

Hi,

I just recently got a bit more serious on collecting, looking it the history of playying cards and wanting to find out about the current designers and things like that and on my travels I found 52+ Joker and then signed up to the forum from there.

I'm hoping to find some advice on starting an antique collection, I've currently only got modern decks but after reading paper empires Id like to get some cards from the manufacturers in that book.
