A few more, love both of these decks. Great Tuck Box on the Deck One and fantastic overall art on the Curator deck! Picked up a couple of each.

Hey Sparkz, nice acquisitions there.  Thats a neat little deck stand.  Is it custom made or some sort of repurposing?

Thanks kdklown, I had been looking for a stand for pics to no avail, then came across this plate stand at Michael's , it's this item (See Link Below) but turned upside down, the opening is a bit larger than a deck, but flipping it over and pinching the ends together a bit made a perfect "Nest" for the deck, works great for pics and displaying, not to mention inexpensive.

Yeah, was pretty sweet of him. Wasn't expecting a brick though. He's a big Manchester United fan so I sent him a signed football top for his birthday last year, guess this is his way of saying thank you :)

  • I like birds.

  • Kickstarter:


Just got a few decks from D&D, mainly because I was curious about the deck stay, and didn't want to throw down 5 bucks on principle.
Must say, it's actually pretty low quality. The edges are rough, and the metal seems flimsy. Glad it was free.
Oh, and they made the Smoke's box darker. It just has this weird beige color now.

Also got a package from Angel_Magic. The luxury crown decks. They're both awesome!

Nice to know about those stays.  I never thought they were a good idea to start with.  Not that I've been shy about it or anything...  :))

Nice haul.  Look closely at the double backer in the Vaudeville deck...  Hint: the backs are NOT identical...

There's a reason why they're called gaff cards, y'know...

I'm still learning Master Yoda, lol. I didn't realize a double backer would have additional uses beyond...well, being two sided. If the difference is what I think it is......very subtle indeed.
