If you’ve seen my recent posts, you’ll know that I’m the owner of a Nikon D80. It’s a good camera, and served me well for the short amount of time that I’ve had it. However.. quite frankly, my phone is better in some aspects, and it’s just plain a little old. So I was looking at something a little more modern and up to date, and came down to two choices: the D3500 and D7000. In the end, I’ve decided on the D7000 as my next upgrade.

See, I’m a collector of many things… apparently playing cards are making that list rather quickly. You… will have to excuse my camera for this, it was definitely not a fan of the lighting I have.
I’m no Chris Ramsay, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a good deck of cards. Plus I like these and this is my site, so I’ll share. 😛
And this is just covering normal playing card decks, not some special ones… though there is one specific one that I’ll mention later.

Anyways, there’s a bit of a story behind that, because getting those results in place, well… isn’t exactly the easiest.
