Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend! Let's bring back one of my favorite contests that we haven't done in a while...

Anyone else find that even after their decks have been retired because of heavy use, they still keep them around? I can't bring myself to ever get rid of them! For example, I always take out the Jokers of every new deck and stack them up, so eventually I can make a full mixed deck of Jokers with all different back designs. Doing some cardistry with a bunch of different back designs is quite satisfying to my eye, so that's what I use the extra cards for. What unique ways do you use your cards and/or tucks? I may "borrow" these ideas for my own use....

Please post your entries to THIS forum thread by 11:30pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, August 23rd.

What can you win? 1,000 Elite Member Points and 6 decks of your choice that are currently in stock!
 
Since it’s almost the start of the school year, I’ll add my two cents. Whenever I’ve retired a deck, I bring it to my elementary classroom for my students to use when we do addition and subtraction flashcard games. They get a kick out of seeing which deck they get to use each time.

Pro tip- sometimes casinos donate old sets of cards to teachers and schools
If you ask nicely :)
