Hello!

My Name is Mike Quinn. I am from Atlanta, GA. I am 55 years old, the father to 6 children and the grandfather to 7 grandchildren and counting. I love magic and playing cards, but I don't do card tricks. I started collecting playing cards a few years ago. I have no rhyme or reason to what I collect. I guess I just don't know enough about playing cards to know what to collect. So far I have just been collecting whatever catches my eye. I have no idea how many decks I own but it surely can't be more than several hundred. I have recently discovered the beauty of vintage playing cards and would like to explore expanding my collection to include some of the beautiful cards from days gone by.
I love collecting sealed decks and I am now looking for cost effective solutions to display them.

I really look forward to enjoying my time here learning more about cards.
Mike Quinn

Hello Mike, welcome to the forum! I look forward to seeing your opinions as you join the conversation.  :)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)
