How to collect playing cards

For the collection of playing cards, collectors have their own methods and ways. But to sum up, nothing more than the following points.

At present, the rich collectors in China mostly adopt fancy collection methods. As the name implies, it only accepts fancy poker, not ordinary poker. Collecting various versions and patterns of fancy poker is also a big project, and the difficulty of collecting can be imagined.

Compared with the first two, the selection method is easier to collect fancy poker. It's easier to collect only one or two versions that you find interesting, and it doesn't need much capital investment. The usual themes are Water Margin and A Dream of Red Mansions.

In addition, there are many collectors who like to collect poker with literature, historical figures, animals and plants. It's called thematic collection. This way is easy to start, and the scope of the collection is not large, but the number increases slowly, and it takes a long time to accumulate before the collection can form a scale.

Interesting collections can best reflect personal interests, and you don't need systematic collections, you just need to collect them according to your own interests. If some collectors only collect poker in a certain area; Some just collect different kings and kings in ordinary poker; Some are classified according to the patterns of poker, and specialize in collecting photo poker, drawing poker and word poker, while others are collected by countries, and only one set is collected in each country. These all reflect personal hobbies and interests.

There are also authenticity problems in the field of poker, but we are used to calling it genuine poker and pirated poker. Compared with genuine poker, pirated poker has poor design, poor paper selection, blurred printing, unclear plate making and inaccurate color. In addition, the four sides of pirated poker are generally irregular. A good deck of playing cards has such a feature: a new deck of cards can still be put together very smoothly if we take out half of them. In addition, compared with genuine poker, pirated poker usually has a very similar defect, that is, pirated poker usually does not indicate the production unit, manufacturer, designer and contact number, but usually just makes up a number by itself.
