I'm a total noob when it comes to playing cards, so call me ignorant, but what is the big deal about stuff like the Bycicle ones and the others found on KS!? Like aren't they just some deck though up and made by some random person!? What's so special about them!?

 

A few of the KS projects are exciting, the others not so much. It generally has to do with the artwork as playing cards have, in recent years, become a medium of art for many collectors as well as deck artists. The artwork in the ones that do take off ie. Uusi, Jackson Robinson's Federal 52 and Independence are very much a step above the mass-produced Bicycle decks as well as other customs offered in the market. 

 

This combined with limited editions, fancy tuckboxes and other bells and whistles can contribute to the success of a certain Kickstarter project. 

 

This is a particularly interesting one which ended a few months ago and is produced by artist Dale Mathis:

Didn't get those just yet but did have some nice Sherlock goodies come in this morning. Pics up later

Any series that's limited is probably a good move.

I also think those gold leaf ones on the other topic are kinda growing on me..

I also have some card sets from my parent's holidays but I think they are simply

evidence of where people have travelled. Have one from the bradman museum bowral.

Thanks for the info guys,and sharing about a topic I'm pretty behind in.

Boys boys boys! What are we thinking about our Venexiana Golds?

 

Card market slowing down a bit right now...I've only picked up 2 or 3 new decks on KS in the last couple months. Same all around?
