Posting a deck from my collection everyday for the rest of the month. I'm posting 3 this time because I missed another day yesterday and will likely miss Monday as well. That gives me a chance to show off all my cat decks ^.^

The Hello Kitty and Cartoon Cats both lack a blank card for me to show off the backs, and they have embellishments on the number cards (the HK number cards don't all have that), so I played a little bit of spider solitaire to show them off a bit (no I did not win that hand).

The black cat pictured is Newt, he's my roommate's. I have 4 but he's not one of them.

Thought this was an interesting deck so picked this one up the other day

I’m from Nepal, and cards are a huge part of Dashain and Tihar back home. Families get together and play for days, mostly teen patti, marriage and call break. I always wanted a deck that felt like Nepal, so I designed my own, and it’s finally printed.

I redesigned the suits. Diamonds are the Nepali flag, since the double pennant shape is already pretty close to a diamond. Clubs are the side of a madal, the drum you hear at every festival and wedding. Spades are two khukris (Nepali warrior knife) crossed over each other, and the hearts have a peacock inside them which symbolizes love.

I used Nepali kings, queens, and generals (jacks). I replaced jokers with Lakhey and Jhyalincha. Lakhey is a fierce, thunderous guardian demon who stamps through the streets to ward off evil spirits. Jhyalincha is a nimble, dragonfly-like boy who playfully taunts Lakhey to spark a high-energy chase for the crowd. I also used Nepali numbers from 2 to 10.

Since it’s my own deck, I’m using the Ads flair. It’s on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4593058701/nepali-art-playing-cards-dashain-gift

One thing I’m unsure about is the kings, queens and generals are sketch style with no color filled in, and I left them that way on purpose, but I keep going back and forth. Do you think they’d look better with color, or does the sketched look work? Also, would you prefer english numbers instead of Nepali? I intend to use your suggestions for the next edition of the cards!

I have been doing card magic for like 6 months, and I just recently moved to Santa Barbara near the beach so there is a lot more humidity. But before, I would get maybe 2 weeks of use out of a deck before I moved. But now I get 2 days before it is fully clicked and unusable. Is there any way to preserve the decks I'm not entirely sure what it is doing this to my cards. I have tried using faros and they haven't really worked. What can I do to get more use out of these decks?

Some recent additions...found the Dunes and Rolling Hills decks at the thrift store and picked up 2 of the IBM 100yr Anniversary decks online...one open and one sealed

Hello everyone, for a bit of context why I ask this, I live in Mexico and it's a bit harder to get a good variety of options here, but I have a friend who lives in the US that comes once a year and is coming next month.

I only ordered cards online once some years ago, it was through him ofc, maybe around 20 decks from theory's 11 official website, half of them were for gifts and the rest for myself, and while I like them a lot, I want to get more good decks from different brands.

So yeah, if I'm gonna bother my friend one more time to make another purchase I want it to be from ONE website only like last time but with more options.

Only website I've looked into is called "rareplayingcards.com" but I don't know if it's good or if anyone here can provide some better options. Thanks in advance.

What could have been the reason??

Bought it from a place, opened them after few weeks to find them at this condition.

They were sealed and in a cello wrap.
