Finally put all of my cards from the holidays together 
my collection is slowly growing 
I thought you were supposed to buy gifts for OTHER people... 
Seriously, nice haul. Open the Exquisites yet?
Haha well most of these were purchased as advanced Christmas presents from family members so I already received them :p the Gold Arcanes and the Whispering Imps I believe are the only exceptions. I am extremely happy with what I have gotten.
No I haven't had the time to open the Exquisites yet unfortunately. I am finally finished with finals and have a couple days of work ahead of me this weekend but I plan on spending some time checking them out mid-next week. I am very excited to see them. I have heard nothing but amazing comments on them. Since I don't have much money to spare on cards, I normally only buy one of each deck to collect but I ended up splurging on the Exquisites to actually check out how they feel. I will finally lay my hands on an amazing deck. I still don't know what that feels like since I am nowhere near considered a cardist haha this is the beginning of my experience of the feeling of cards and what is good or bad.
It's not Playing Card related, but it's a pretty cool item. One of our best clients during my day job is Absolut Vodka. They sent over an early Christmas gift with a second, engraved logo on the back of a regular bottle. ABSOLUT BUTTERFIELD!
I'll probably put it on display somewhere with my Absolut Deck.
Thanks, Randy
That is an amazing bottle Randy. Congrats
Absolute are definitely one of my more favorite bottles. As most college students do, I collected the first bottle of each different brand of spirits I drank my freshman year. Through the year I came across a bottle of Absolute and it is easily on of my favorites. It is a nice, simple bottle, but has such a classy look to it. When it comes to vodka, it is a close race between Absolute and Ciroc. I think what they did to the bottle for you is absolutely amazing though. Certainly something worth keeping around for a forseeable future.
A few new additions today, it's pretty easy to choose which one is my favorite...the question becomes do I save it, or do I open it!!! Special thanks goes out to Jackson Robinson, you are a badass.
The Black Bicycle Branded Reserve Note looks amazing. I am certainly disappointed that I missed out on such a great couple of decks from the Fed 52 series but I know I can't get them all. Jackson Robinson is one hell of a guy. I have been checking out the new stuff he has been posting here in the forum and I am mind blown with every picture he posts. He is just unbelievably gifted and dedicated to his work. Obviously I don't know the guy but am extremely impressed by him. From the picture they look amazing… especially next to the Gold Arcanes and Red LTD's. I managed to get my hands on a Gold Arcanes as well which was slightly exciting for me. Congratulations on that haul
definitely a nice couple of pick ups
