If I was 2100 miles or 1200 km closer I'd be there.

Life's too short for plastic coated cards.

If I was 2100 miles or 1200 km closer I'd be there.

Life's too short for plastic coated cards.

I would say that these days all cards are plastic coated, but that's actually no longer the case.  US manufacturers, I'm told, are now legally required to use eco-friendly materials: high post-consumer-content recycled paper, vegetable-based inks and starch-based coatings!

Have fun at the meet-up - I'll be there in spirit if not in body...

Big thanks goes to Lee and CBJ for organizing the event as well as Browser's Den for letting us use the space.

A wonderful event to meet other collectors in Toronto and a lot of fun to learn more about all the decks out there.

Another big amazing thank you to the sponsors: USPCC, Dan & Dave, Alex Chin, Paul Carpenter, Robert Tomlinson, Jody Eklund, Murphy's, CPC, Ellusionist, Theory11, Gamblers and Kardify for their generous donation to the event.

Can't wait until the next one.
