[Bradius] My Collection

[Bradius]

My Eye of the Ocean crates arrived, so here are some photos of the rewards alone and with my Patron Eye of the Ocean rewards as well (I also have a paperback book as well not shown). All of the standard size decks (except two of the Intrepid decks) are gilded.

Amazing

As I was hunting for my Morosque Patron deck with my Oath Patron number, I came across this loose deck. I sure wish I could find some more of them.

That's one of those decks that is unexpectedly very hard to find now Do you not have the full set?

I got the Double limited and regular sets at the beginning. I also got at least half bricks of each planet as they came out because I couldn't wait. I should have several Mercury decks floating around. I have let several go though over time, so that may be my last free ranging Mercury deck.

I can’t believe you had to ask

[hsbc]

That's the amount of decks I come to this thread for

I can’t believe you had to ask

And I see now that Bradius posted that image on the first page, I'm the UC idiot today I guess

It's so sad that Vanda has become so disreputable. The themes/ideas were great and the designers Dave chose to work with were even greater. Planets is still underrated imo.

My Damask and Oath Gold on Gold and Gold on Black decks. I have only opened one of the Red Damask decks. It really is a thing of beauty. I used to have it out on my desk. That was the deck everyone that came by would check out. It just is so over the top in foil goodness. Nothing comes close.

The Damasks <3 I'll feel much more complete once I have the set in my collection some day. Amazing, Bradius, as always!

[Harvonsgard]

Damask indeed is peak Oath. I'm not sure if he ever will be able to beat this.

[rousselle]

If he were to ever combine the kind of work he did with Damask and the kind of work he did with Venexiana... the universe might well implode from the gravity well of awesomeness.

[Harvonsgard]

True indeed.

Wow, I did not realize how much there was offered during the Sensu campaign. This is one I may not be able to find :O

Love the Jack Brutus Penny collection! I just got myself a Culturae Animalis set today!

[Bradius]

Here is my Odd Fellows collection so far. I ended up using two Kickstarter accounts for the rewards and was also able to get a second 2021 S17 Kings Patron set as well to fill this out nicely.

[KingfisherZero]

Beautiful. Although my OCD can't help but notice you have an odd number of mini decks. If you could obtain one more to make the divisions even, it would mean a lot.

[Bradius]

Actually, it will get a lot odder. While I have three mini decks, one is headed to a new home along with one of the three main decks and an El Sapo deck. So, I will have only two mini decks, but three El Sapo decks. I guess I could sell or trade another El Sapo, but I am inclined to fight to keep it. That said, I might take advantage of Lorenzo's Patron discount to pick up some surplus stuff on his website, but I am feeling decently covered with this collection at the moment. Also, the Oddest Tier with a box set and one of everything including El Sapo for $250 is feeling like another nice bargain with prices these days.

One of my El Sapo decks is #303! What a great number. I wonder who got #333.

[rousselle]

I wonder who got #333.

Skippy: Satan's half-brother.

I finally got the chance to go through this entire thread. In short, it’s an amazing collection.

Yesterday I received two Jocu packages. One was my Inner Circle quarterly package, and was excited to get the new Acqua decks. I also received a few Green Man decks in that shipment as well. I also received my Imbolic and Samhain rewards including a few booklets and bookmarks in another shipment yesterday. Group photo.

[Bradius]

I bit of a Thirdway update. My new arrivals are my patron 3rd quarter goodies (I have two sword reward tiers) as well as my Memoria partial rewards (excluding gilded decks) and includes three booklets. I omitted my Memoria coin accidently from the photo. Also are included some Eva Legendary rewards in addition to those from my Patron quarterly package. There is also an Eva Red Rose that was a recent trade (from Timmargh - thanks man), which makes my Thirdway set again complete (in my mind. I think there are a few prototypes and such out there I am not counting). Hopefully I will get to opening some of them before too long. The Eva Ruby Rose and the Eva White Rose are staying sealed.

[Bradius]

Another hole in my collection is filled an Onda BN finally found its way to my collection courtesy of kasuma99. Thanks man!

Haha courtesy of me letting Kasuma99 know that there was one available on eBay Glad it found its way to someone who didn't have one!

[Bradius]

A new addition is a half-brick of gilded Tattoo decks from Thanh Phan. I generally not a fan of tattoos, but the art here I thought was really good. I ended up being one of the few that backed for a half-brick of the gilded decks, which included the half-brick case and two signed decks. The gilded numbered seals...not so great. Even with my great close vision, I had extreme difficulty determining the numbers. Aside from the seal number print, this is a wonderful deck.

I have been a member of Will Roya's playingcarddecks.com monthly Pip Box Club for a long time. They send out three decks every month. One is supposed to be a Bycicle deck. They also send a ton of random playing cards so you can see some of the other recent cards coming out. I counted 20 cards in this month's box, which I think is representative of a typical month in addition to the three decks. For $30 shipped, I find it a reasonable program and a fun way to often get decks I would otherwise not pick up. Sometimes it is a great way to get an extra of a deck I have, which is nice as well. Several times they will include a PCD Prototype deck, which I think might be the only way to get one of these prototypes. I have really enjoyed this monthly program. This month was kind of fun as it included three Halloween themed decks: Spyder by PCD, Halloween by CPC and Graveyard by Musketon.

Thirdway Industries Patrons had the chance to pick up a random selection of experimental tucks. I managed to snag a set. Gio gave me permission to post, so here is a group photo of my set.

If I added any light, one the tucks is so shiny it would have been blinding. All of them are foils of different colors. B&N just produce amazing tucks. I am sorry my photo just doesn't do them any justice at all.
