I was sorting through my collection a couple of days ago, sorting out all of my duplicates.

And I scan all the fronts of my decks.  Here is a deck-stitch I made with the scans.
Here are most of the different decks in my collection (not including minis or bridge size)

Enjoy!

Damn - that's a lot of cards.  You'd better not let the gang here know where you live... 

Seriously, do you know how many decks total and how many different deck designs (including color and version variants)?

Very nice - but why no picture with Anne herself?    Sounds like you had a golden opportunity.

Ho. ly. Sh. %&...
Lol wow by my count that slab look to be 792 decks
Wonder if they're all unique XD.
That's definitely a damn impressive collection, no chance you run a playing card museum or anything do you?

[John B.]

over 800, 10 per stack, 11 stacks in one row, 8 rows.

That's 880, assuming all the packs are the same size.

I'm surprised the table doesn't collapse under the weight - those legs look skinny...

Don't forget the one all by itself on the top right hand side of the picture. Therefore 881 =p

Thing of beauty that deck stitch.

[kdklown]

Hey Jay, I think I've said it before but you should get that stitch made into a wall mural. 

I almost forgot I ordered these...

Don....You were asking about the 9 card sleeves I use.  Was putting away the Creative Card deck that just came in from Europe last week in sleeves so I thought I would post a few pics example
Keep in mind these are bridge size cards  so they do not fill the sleeve as good as larger card





I can fit 17 full decks in one 3 D Ring binder as shown here



In the end I will display only custom decks and normal decks like Bicycle Rider backs  I usually don't put in sleeves

[Anthony]

That's a great idea badpete, those are the regular baseball card type sleeves, right? They are great because they wont damage the cards, archival quality.

My BDay was this week and got a few decks, happy, happy, joy, joy 

[verloren]

I used to have those, then switched over to Ultra Pro deck protectors for my no-longer collectible cards.

The joys of ordering cards from a lingerie company, much more fun to unwrap!  Pity the handling of the cards isn't up to the same level.

It's still a great find!  Where are they from?

They're from a company called Lascivious based here in the UK.  The decks are art decks, each card has been designed by a different artist (nearly, some artists have a couple of cards in one of the decks, forget which one)  I asked them for some details about the cards as well:

In terms of the playing cards, they were manufactured in the UK by Cartimundi . The erotic deck was printed in 2006 - it originally came in tin packaging (still available to buy) and then some were repacked into cardboard boxes (as you have) when our second 'love' deck was created in September 2008. There were 1000 printed of each.

On a side note, as I have been getting so jealous of seeing everyone receiving their Whispering Imps I've ordered a couple of those for myself

[badpete69]

Lot from overseas came in  just now

[Nurul]

Got my self a couple of these in a trade

Nice haul!

Nurul - that's not easily found outside of the Philippines; good show!

I have a little something to reveal soon...later tonight...

[MrMollusk]

Been a while since I posted here.



The Whispering Imps and Deco decks are brilliant.

The one in the lower right corner is actually a deck I picked up from a Hang Zhou hotel when I was in China.

[John B.]

Recently got these. So far I like them.

[kdklown]

Scored these today via D&D Deck of the Month Club.  Nice, one Holiday release off the list with zero effort.

Ohhhh, I would love to have a pair of these! O.O

[Don Boyer]

I got these yesterday.  The one with the autograph is the prize for this contest - a sealed pack of Exquisites autographed by Bill Kalush.  Good luck to all the contestants!

I think Bill might have been right - the Exquisites are just a tiny bit better in the finish department than the v2 Legends, which are pretty impressive in the first place.  It's a good time to be a card collector...

EDIT: finally got the blasted third image to show itself!
