The Collection Collection v2

[Giovanniland]

The Collection Collection v2

Hello all! I am Giovanniland, a card collector, and I recently found the older version of this thread by Ponderosa, which hadn't been updated for some time. So I offered to continue this amazing project, keeping the original collections and updating them along with adding even more. Here it is: The Collection Collection v2!

DISCLAIMER: All credit goes to Ponderosa for creating the original thread and allowing me to use the previous code and format. This thread was created with their permission to keep this project updated with the newest collections.

The Collection Collection aims to host general-interest collections only, therefore some collections with personal/utilitarian purposes will not be included here. Examples:

• Cards of a given rarity that you own (unless you've gathered more than anyone else in a given season)
• Regional collections (unless you own the largest one, which will be listed under Volume Collections)
• Self collections (see Catsfern's dispatch for a list)
• Friends/favorites
• Cards for sale

Other notes:

• I will add separate season collections about the same theme for the the first 3 categories (Rarity, Volume and NationStates). For the other categories, if you own both of them and wish to have both featured, you can simply add the cards to the same collection or submit whichever has more cards.
• Updates are done every week! On the first week of the month I also go through all existing collections to prune any that does not exist anymore, while the other weeks are just for new additions.

Thanks for doing this Gio!

I'd like to mention the Second Best Card Collection here as well since it is nearing 1500 cards of various classifications of the number 2.

Nice, I'm glad you restarted this.

Edit: added this too. I was surprised there wasn't a book-themed collection in the thread yet.

[Refuge Isle]

Thanks for keeping this going, Gio <3

[Debussy]

Would my deck make the list?

[Recuecn]

Thanks for doing this Gio, this is awesome! I was going to mention my gif collection, but I see it's already up there! I'll let you know when I get both seasons in one collection; I'm only one card away now!

I particularly enjoy Ancot's collection of single-color flags, as well as The Soylent Green Party's "You Suck at Cooking" collection.

A good friend of mine made these collections, which admittedly violate one of the criteria for this list, but I think they're impressive enough to warrant inclusion.

[Giovanniland]

Thanks for keeping this going, Gio <3

You're welcome! I wish to keep this updated, and I'm glad people like it.

Would my deck make the list?

From what I see, you only have a Lazarus collection in your deck, and the OP says no regional collections.

Yes, I replaced some collections because the previous one of that theme wasn't the largest or most complete anymore, and GIFs was one of them. I'll update it when you complete both seasons.
Also, I wasn't expecting you'd link my collections, lol I didn't include any of them because 1. no regional collections rule, and 2. it would be biased to include mine but not any other. Of course the size factor highlights them (especially the season 2 version), but it's still a tough decision on whether to add or not, and for now, I'm not adding them unless a lot of people agree that it should be there.

[The Unified Missourtama States]

it's great to see this thread back in a new life, and also to see my class cards getting a stage, very exciting!

[Nazbeth]

Hi! This is really cool, thanks for reviving it!

Anyway, I’ve actually had my own collection of feline friends going on for a while now: Cats! :3

I can’t compete with Feline Masters, and I’m happy to see Alanis Star in on the game too, but just wanted to say I existed!

Thanks and have a nice day!

I think that such an expansive collection could be an exception to the rules here.

I concur - collections of small regions (like mine, lol) aren't worth including, but a collection like yours that's a thousand cards strong, or TNL's version for The North Pacific, has grounds for inclusion.

[Coffin-Breathe]

I´d like to bring this two collections https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... salaxalans https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... salaxalans of potatoes and potato-related cards to mention...

[Giovanniland]

They are interesting indeed! However, I asked them if it'd be possible to gather all cards in one collection. Like I said in the OP, if anyone can do that instead of having S1 and S2 collections, it would be better.

[Christ Triumphant]

Codger's "GCR Founders" collection:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... tion=18241

I don't know how you'd classify it, but the collections tickles me and could probably be included somewhere. It's a nice curiosity.

[Recuecn]

^The GCR founders are good.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/collection=23350

I finally finished my complete (s1+s2) gif collection! I'm so stoked!

Big shot actually did it a few hours before me but I don't think he's gotten around to putting them in a single collection

[Mediobogdum II]

I have only managed to complete the S2 gif collections of Pg, D, and ABC123 cards... too late for me to make an attempt to complete S1.

Great that this thread had been taken up again... congrats to Gio are very much in order

[Coffin-Breathe]

First of all, I´d like to state, that I´m very glad (and thankful), that the "collection thread" has been continued (especially since my own collection is noticed here ).
But I couldn´t help, but find some of the noticed collections pretty outdated, as they seem not to have been maintained by their owners for months, thus stagnating; this might be because of the owners running out of space, lost further interest in specific collections, or maybe even decided to stay with "season ones" only. Also some are complete (without any sign for it) or close to this.
Therefore I propose, that these collections should be evaluated by someone (or anyone who likes to announce his own collection) and maybe updated/replaced by bigger/newer ones of the same theme or marked (as some already are) as continued or completed.
I also would like to encourage "theme or other specific collecting players" (and I do know for sure, that there is a whole bunch of them) to announce there collections here (and not to be shy about and wait, if someone else does so), regardless if originally was meant otherwise - because I guess, that otherwise we would miss many interesting and genuine collections (if not someone occasionally stumbles across and find them "showworthy").
And then, I also would like if some of those collectors would renew their postings in the forum and therefore participate more in the open market instead of silently collecting (how should anyone know ?), or relate on private farming or occasional gifts.

[Coffin-Breathe]

Small, but unique somehow https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/collection=23087
and from the same person a really pretty one https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... card_vault

Hello! I'm pretty sure I reviewed every collection before posting the thread to update progress. I also removed some that didn't exist anymore, and replaced some who weren't the biggest/most complete in their category anymore. However, if you spot a mistake I left out, feel free to comment here.
I was busy these last days, but I'll double-check soon to see if I missed anything and add the most recent submissions such as yours.
New collections are added by submissions on this thread, but also if I happen to stumble across a collection theme that isn't included yet. If I see a collection that has its theme here already but is bigger than the current one, I'll replace too. I think all of those should stay, even if they're not being updated or are Season 1-only, as long as they're the biggest of that theme. I figure some of these owners don't use the forums a lot, but nevertheless their efforts should be recognized, if they build an unique collection.

[Giovanniland]

Weekly Update!

If you didn't know yet, I'm planning to do a weekly check on all collections, to check if any ceased to exist, and such. Note that I have real life duties so it's not guaranteed, but I'll try to update it as often as possible.
In this update, I revamped the NationStates-themed collection category, adding different seasons to some collections. I also added a few collections that I either randomly found, or were submitted here (the ones below). Note, I'm looking for geographical, real world collections to include, since that category doesn't have that many entries. I'll be searching, but if you know of any large one, feel free to post!

Small, but unique somehow https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/collection=23087
and from the same person a really pretty one https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... card_vault

Added the second one! The first one was too small and ceased to exist, sadly.

Codger's "GCR Founders" collection:

I don't know how you'd classify it, but the collections tickles me and could probably be included somewhere. It's a nice curiosity.

I was thinking on whether to include this or not, but I guess it's interesting enough to get a place in the NS-themed collections.

[Warzone Codger]

GCR Founders is a novelty, but more substantial collection should be my puppet, Pursuit of Happiness' collection of emotions https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/ ... _happiness
