my collections up to about 750ish. Im proud of my storage system though as i can look up a deck by keyword on a spread sheet, and it tells me exactly what condition the deck is in and its storage location. I keep them in individual plastic cases within ammo crates that hold about 60 decks a box, and they are all numbered for quick finding being they are all identical in appearance. For full bricks or special collector edition box sets and other types of packaging of multi decks I use separate crates. The crates could get rained on and all the decks are safe and secure. All the crates lock into each other and make up a wall in my game room. It's so nice to want a specific deck and be able to dig it out within 5 minutes without having to open half the crates and dig around!
Thats awesome, I love to see the different ways some collectors display/store their cards. Especially if your like me with OCD it’s just makes things much easier when choosing a deck.
That is an impressive collection. It was amazing to see a playing card collection almost as big as mine (infinitely better organized though). Lots of fun to see some similar decks. Also a huge Jocu fan.
I am SO jealous of that Tall Stacks deck!!! As a kid, Cincinnati would have the Tall Stacks Festival every few years. It would last a week or two, and steamboats from all over the US would come into town. Unfortunately, the last one was in 2006... As a kid, it was so amazing to not only see, but take a ride on the different steamboats.
I just watched this whole video, man. Nice chill interview. I like your style so you get a sub from me! I’m just uncovering this world of card collecting. I’m not going to be a collector (said everyone who later became a collector, right) but i just love fidgeting with a deck of nice-handling cards! I’m interested in what i would call ‘practical cardistry’. Basic fans, real cuts, shuffles, deals and simple flourishes that you could use at a table without annoying people.
Thank you I appreciate the compliment! I myself started doing close-up magic for about 2 years then transitioned to card collecting then Cardistry. I feel they all tie in together in some aspects. I will admit the collecting part of it is something I can’t get over 😎
I wouldn’t say a hefty bag lol but definitely are in DS1 or acrylic cases to display and protect them, But still visible though! I can see why some people will have mix opinions on why we don’t open them but I mean at the end of the day i know some people that collect sports memorabilia and have never played football themselves or some people that collect guitar picks or guitars and can’t even play one so I guess it’s mostly up to the person collecting on what they get out of there collection as far as joy, satisfaction or enjoyment and happiness, Mines definitely the satisfaction of buying enough decks to open and enjoy and still have some extras to open in the future or of course to sell/trade etc to get more decks and so on and so fourth !
It’s a great point, but I actually do open tons of these decks including more rare or sought after decks. I like to buy extras in order to preserve decks for future generations to enjoy as well!
I’d bet Jose would say Cardistry Con if you’re into those kind of decks, but there is an annual convention held by the 52+ Joker club that is specific to card collectors. It’s very reasonable to join the club price wise, and you get to meet not only collectors but designers like Jackson Robinson, Lorenzo (Stockholm 17), Sherman Tsao (Caratcases), and so many more. The convention is in Niagara Falls this year and happens in October!
I understand the questioning of not opening certain decks, but it’s part of the hobby in my opinion just like some people collect shoes and don’t wear them, or comics that will never be enjoyed by a reader, but at the end of the day it’s about what the deck is worth to you not about money not about what the deck is famous for but what it means to you in a personal level, I myself have a lot of unopened decks and just seeing them sealed give them more value to me knowing they’ll be/last a very long time In my collection and when the day comes I can still enjoy the deck just like the first day it was printed, And at the same time it’s the feeling of opening the deck for the first time is what is meaningful to me, I mean that’s what this hobby is all about to enjoy what you collect and to use the decks weather it’s for cardistry or card magic, 🤙🙏
@@jgpcardistry620 How would you feel if you did open one or two decks one day, and only to find there is a card missing, or cut in half (by that time you will not be able to get a replacement deck(s). This happened to me, but I only found out because I had opened the deck.

Very impressive collection.

Wow that sounds like an experience!! That deck Definitely makes me miss the Cincinnati Ohio days, Definitely better quality back then 😎
I once saw an uncut sheet on eBay of the blue tall stacks, that would be wild to own!

I only have 675 decks... But I'll get to your range one of these days lol
I’m about the same as you. I counted mine I’m at 770. 5000 is insane 🤯
Amazing!
This is quality content
Thank you David, That means a lot 🙏🤙
Yessir
Just .... WOW
I would love to get the Tim Burton and 7-11 decks.
I agree those are nice !!!
Just wow
Thank you 🙏
If you can’t show them….what’s the point… I understand maintaining value…but it’s like having Van Gogh covered in a hefty bag

@@jgpcardistry620 yeah….what do I know of the hearts of the great collectors? I am a selfish voyeur who just wants to see.. rock on, 620. Rock on

Recommendation for good card conventions to attend for a new card collector?

I might have missed it but what type of file cabinets are those that you use? They are nice!
They are called Card Catalog cabinet 👍😎 Definitely want one myself 🤩
Awesome! They look great.@@jgpcardistry620
711 deck is cool
Thank you 🙏 Those are very nice 🤩🤙
It's absurd to keep decks of cards that will never be opened.
