I'm embarrassed to say that I have around 200 now that my brick of Masters has arrived :oops:

That excludes trick decks

Just counted, getting on for the region of 1040.

Playing cards that is! :D

So that would be around about twenty decks or so in various states, I'm not too good at keeping a pack of cards together :oops:.

Talking about number of decks, old deck,etc... What do you do with your old deck? IS there anyway to restore used deck, like a miracle method? I searched but could'nt find anything...

I use my dirty decks to practice with, magic that require that you tear up a card, fold it or ruin in some way. I'm pretty quick going through the old decks, so I mark them with an X, when they are really too worn to be used in flourishes etc. I have about 10 new unopened decks, 3 opened decks, 8 gimmicked decks and... hmmmm... about 15 old decks.

You can take whole old decks to the local Red Cross, shelters and waiting rooms. Lot of people wouldn't mind playing with cards or lay out solitaires with used cards.
PS. J0kerz, when are you gonna introduce yourself in TM? :D

I have about 40 decks of cards that I actually use.

That amount should go up to 180-200 by the end of this year. I'm buying 144 casino decks at once, and should be getting some from the Ipswich convention.
