Throw down your cards or I'll shoot!

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I don't have funds or even enough space to amass bitcoin-related collections like some of you all have, so I've limited myself to basically three categories (with certain exceptions).  One of those is playing cards with a bitcoin theme--and if you asked me for my rationale it'd have nothing to do with gambling or anything to do with card games.  There isn't one card game I know how to play, and that's no lie.

But much like bitcoin card-type HW wallets like the Ballet, decks of playing cards are compact, lightweight, and can look damn fine sitting somewhere in a hermit's hovel on display.  So I'd just like to show you what I've got so far, and if anyone else has a specific interest in this area of collecting I'd love to read about it and perhaps see what you've got.








That Fiat House of Cards deck, in case you aren't aware, was offered by Bitcoin Magazine's site (and maybe other places as well, but that's where I got mine).  Speaking of that company, they just changed their privacy policy and it reads like one written by Google or Meta's lawyers.  I'll leave it at that.

nice! I have some of those as well!

when I get time tomorrow, I will take a picture of my cards - maybe I have some you dont have or that you may want and I can share where I got them from so that you may pursue adding them to your collection if you so choose.

nice collection, thanks for sharing.
I have at least 2 or 3 more that can be added to this list, including a set of cards produced by miner MARA and a set of cards produced by SlumberJack.
Related the change of privacy for Bitcoin Magazine - I have seen their shop including cards available in Conferences - there is always a chance to get a box...

I used to play poker in Gardena California at the bicycle club.

I would not mind a deck of bitcoin bicycle cards.

I have a few of the green Bitcoin decks in my collection (seen in OP's pics), could probably part with one if you are interested.

I used to collect card decks for that exact reason, they are a wonderful combination of art/design, lightweight and easy to store size. Also, as a Omaha player back in the days I have some love for the game of poker. Got some relatives that do card magic, so it all fits well together.

Regarding Bitcoin themed cards I didn't find too many that I thought were of great design.
But will post some pics of some oddities when I find the time.

@philipma1957 - If you don't mind, wanna share some of your favorite non-BTC decks here, too?

I have a few dozen packs of these gold foil Bitcoin trading cards lying around. Even though you’ve been absolutely horrible to me over the years, I’d happily donate one to you if you wanted to pay the shipping. Since I am in deed a great person who helps others achieve their goals.

here are my cards - some of them are regular playing cards with Bitcoin designs and some are for Bitcoin themed games
