    I have been collecting Playing Cards to over 20 years. I go in spurts. I collect full sets. I prefer new ones that are sealled, but any full set will do. I have a couple hundred at least. I was just thinking the other day about cataloging them, but thought that I would look for groups that collect them. Are there any that trade, buy, sell? Thank you

    Yes, the Chicago Playing Card group has many active members that love to trade, sell, and buy. http://www.cpccinc.org/. The other group I know of is also a great group that is interested in decks. They are the 52 Plus Joker group. Here is that link: http://www.52plusjoker.org/dnn/

    I love playing cards and I love collecting. Card collecting makes perfect sense!

    I totally agree!

    I never even thought about playing cards as collectibles. This is very interesting. Thank you for teaching me something new today.

    I don't collect but we use our playing cards. We love to have a variety of decks. Our current favorite is horse themed. Great lens topic.

    Horse themed playing cards are a favorite theme for card collectors of all ages.

    Enjoyed the lens! I love collecting. We don't collect cards - it's nativity scenes for Christmas. Thumbs up!

    That's neat!

    We used to play cards with a MAD card deck - lots of fun. A little like UNO

    Neat! Thanks for the comment too, and coming here.
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Nov 21, 2010 @ 5:51 am | delete

    I don't but you got me thinking about starting a collection! (:
  • lizziebeth Jan 28, 2011 @ 6:31 pm | delete
    You made my day. I hope you do start a collection. Maybe we can trade after that if you collect singles.

    Cool collecting idea. I collect post cards. :-)
  • lizziebeth Jan 28, 2011 @ 6:31 pm | delete
    I do too! But I don't have many. Postcards are also SO fun to look at.

    is there a way to make your own cards easily?
  • lizziebeth Sep 19, 2010 @ 5:08 pm | delete
    Yes. You can order custom cards from the US Playing Card Company or other manufacturers. You can also make them by hand, but this is (of course) harder. The playing cards companies OR Ad Specialties companies will help you develop your own cards. It is a lot easier than it used to be, and there is more variety available. I sent some links to you just now too. Be looking for a lens on this soon! :-) Thanks -B

    Looking at old card graphics would be like looking in an antique store. I love to see how it was in the past.
  • lizziebeth Sep 19, 2010 @ 5:09 pm | delete
    I love the old card designs too, and am crazy about antiques. It is very fun to window-shop at an antique store for me.

    I've never really looked into collecting cards, but I can see it being challenging and a lot of fun. There are so many different ones.

    Whenever I buy a deck of cards, I usually just pick out the prettiest ones at Wal-Mart. Maybe I should start paying more attention to what's out there.

    Love your lens!
  • lizziebeth Sep 19, 2010 @ 5:09 pm | delete
    I think you would like card collecting. If you decide to do it, let me know and I will send you a couple to start your collection with. :-)

    Very interesting site. I'm collecting playing cards deck, jokers and single since my 15 years. I share totally your feeling when you say "made me excited about my hobby"
    I have a site with more than 4000 singles displayed online: www.iCollect.be
  • lizziebeth Jul 21, 2010 @ 9:28 am | delete
    I just went to your site - it is very professional! I like the horses cards you have. I think you have done a very good job with it.

    Great lens; amazing cards. Good luck getting back into your hobby!

    Thank you, Brenda! This is definitely on my list to do. I might even do as iCollect did. Later!
