Hello from Oregon

[Victory52]

Greetings all,  I'm Tim from Oregon.  I found this forum while trying to date and value a nice old Bee 92 deck I just found (will post it soon).  I am a private collector and seller of all things vintage, antique, and cool.  Basically I just love old stuff and spend a lot of time haunting thrift shops. I find interesting playing cards occasionally, but I don't know a lot about them yet.  I always like to learn the history of the old things I find, as well do's and don'ts in terms of preserving the value and integrity of old pieces.  Forums like this one are always a wealth of information, so, here I am!

Welcome aboard, Tim - glad to have you here.

If you have any questions and the search function couldn't help (she can be cranky at times), just ask.

While you're stopping by, have you checked out the special issue of CARD CULTURE that just came out?  It's a free download.  CARD CULTURE is a digital monthly magazine, and one of the two magazines of 52 Plus Joker, the playing card collectors' club that runs this forum (the other one is a printed quarterly called CLEAR THE DECKS).  It's worth a look-see and the price is certainly right!

Thanks Don, just downloaded it.
