Hi, I'm Ben I am from Colorado and I am a collector of playing cards.  I have been collecting for years but just off and on it was not until recently that I dumped a large portion of my collection that was just taking up space and am now focusing on just artwork that I like.  I have several really nice sets but my all time fav designer has got to be hands down Jackson Robinson.

I found this forum by following Jackson and decided to join it.

Great to meet everyone and look forward to talking to you all.

Thanks
Ben

Glad to make your acquaintance, Ben.  Welcome to the Discourse and to PCF.

Please, if you have any questions, just ask - don't hesitate out of fear, uncertainty, etc.  We were ALL newbies once, so we understand.  You'll find that the people here are generally friendly and helpful!

So, your collection - modern decks, vintage decks or a mix of both?

Mostly have modern decks, only a few vintage ones but I pick them up when I find one that I like and have the $ at the same time LOL

Then if you act fast, you have a chance of participating in an auction of vintage decks!  52 Plus Joker is holding their annual auction and it ends on the 16th at 8PM!  You'd need to first join, then bid.

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me

But seriously... welcome aboard  :D
