I can't imagine that these statistics are interesting to anyone but myself, but I decided to include them nonetheless. All data refers to playing cards and excludes duplicates. Further down the page you can see my twelve first, latest, favourite, and costliest decks.
Here are some pointless facts and figures:
- First deck: Cult Movie on 1st April, 2014;
- Deck currently owned: 397 (and 144 pin badges);
- Most decks owned at any one time: 561;
- Latest deck: Colours of Peanuts (Bicycle) on 14th September, 2023;

Opened decks
I try to open as many decks as I can and, as I reduce my collection and open the decks I'm keeping, I aim to get this to 100% opened.

First decks
As title name implies, these are the first decks I collected, excluding the Number One I took when I left home.
Latest decks
Favourite decks
I think House of the Rising Spade Room 17 will be my favourite deck for a long while to come; the cards themselves are amazing, and I love that the tuck box contains a fantastical story that can be translated.
Costliest decks
The first deck in this list, Cartes Indiennes, cost £ 362.82, and the last, Nouveau Bijoux d'Or, cost £ 102.88. The average cost of all the decks I own is £ 19.88.
