(May 18, 2026) This is Week 20 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group features superhero playing cards from the likes of Marvel, DC Comics and Warner Bros.!

I’ve shared 240 decks of cards from my collection so far. Stay tune for more of my decks of playing cards every Monday!

The Avengers playing cards come in four different colors! I have set them in order of release date of these Avengers colors. Purple was released first and Blue was the latest color released. When the Blue was first released, it was exclusive to Walmart stores. (That’s also where I got this deck)

The face cards shows various heroes and villains from their respective superhero franchises!

Here’s a preview of Level 21: More playing cards from Ellusionist. Some light and dark.

I already made a post about 90s special effect crayons two weeks ago, so here’s another group of 90s specialty crayons from Crayola!

These are mostly jumbo crayons with special effects and standard crayons but with a theme!

In photos 3 and 4, I used a black light flashlight for these Glow in the Dark crayons to glow! On photo 5, those same crayons glow without the black light!

I tried to line up those crayons as neat as possible and even put the crayons back in the box in proper order! (Alphabetical or in rainbow order)

Here are the name of the special crayon sets:

Glow in the Dark Crayons (1994, 8 count jumbo)

Glitter Crayons (1993, 16 count jumbo)

Changeables Crayons (1994, 8 count jumbo)

Color Slicks Crayons (1998, 24 count)

Techno Brite Crayons (1997, 16 count)

Retro Colors Crayons (1999, 16 count)

Discovery Series No. 2 Ocean Dive Crayons (1997, 24 count with a tin)

Discovery Series No. 3 Space Walk Crayons (1997, 24 count with a tin)

Which crayon sets did you remember having and what crayon sets are your favorites?

To celebrate the upcoming limited edition USA 250th anniversary 64 box, I would like to go back to 2004 when Crayola had a color contest about the 50 U.S. States and 14 more crayon names relating to country nicknames!

People had to choose a crayon color and submit a name relating to each of the 50 states to the Crayola website. Crayola picked the nicknames for the 50 crayon states, the other 14 crayons are named by Crayola including Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico!

I took photos of the State Your Color assortment lineup with all 64 crayons shown in one photo! (I organized them by statehood order!) Do you have any favorites?

Also, here’s an archive link that shows the winning people’s names for this contest: https://web.archive.org/web/20050810234511/http://www.crayola.com/state/

(May 11, 2026) This is Week 19 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group features USPCC brands of classic playing cards with jumbo index cards and bridge size cards.

I’ve shared 228 decks of cards from my collection so far. Stay tune for more group showcases every Monday!

I would like to point out the KEM playing cards. They have high durability with a professional finish that’s great for playing poker. They do not have a standard size tuck box like the other decks do. They often come in sets of two different colored playing cards in a box. These are meant to be played on one deck, shuffled on the other deck during poker hands for streamline gameplay. However, those KEM playing cards are quite expensive.

So this format is slightly altered because of the KEM playing cards.

For next week’s preview: If you like superheroes, then next Monday’s group will just be for you!

(May 4, 2026) This is Week 18 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group features Star Wars playing cards by theory11 and other Space themed decks!

I’ve shared 216 decks of cards from my collection so far. Stay tune for more group showcases every Monday!

It’s Star Wars Day! And what a better way to celebrate Star Wars Day by showing all of the theory11 Star Wars decks at once! And I also include Asteroid and some Stargazer 20X decks to fill the gaps! May the 4th be with you!

For next week’s preview: Big numbers and letters and narrow size playing cards that aren’t Bicycle!

Remember these cool specialty crayons that Crayola used to make?

The 1990s was a huge decade for Crayola to come out with a variety of different special effect crayons!

Due to the 20 screenshot limit, there will be a Part 2 of all 90s Crayola Crayons!

In these photos, we have:
Silver Swirls Crayons (24 count, 1990)
Gem Tones Crayons (16 count, 1993)
Magic Scent (Food) Crayons (16 count, 1993)
Magic Scent (Non-Food) Crayons (16 count, 1995)
Color ‘n Smell Crayons (16 count, 1997)
Multi-Colored Glitter Crayons (16 count, 1997)
Pearl Brite Crayons (16 count, 1997)
Color Mix-Up Crayons (16 count, 1997)
Star Brite Crayons (16 count, 1997)
Construction Paper Crayons (16 count, 1998)

What’s your favorite special effects crayon set from this batch?

This is No. 1008! It is a flat package with a reusable flap to prevent the package from getting damaged! On the back of the package there is a coloring drawing section “Your Crayon Zoo” where you’re meant to use these jumbo crayons to color the zoo! This is 2026, so you can use makeover to draw it without damaging the package! lol

There is a hanger hole on the top that was used to store these crayons in supermarket aisles!

It contained 8 jumbo crayons. (Unfortunately, this package is missing yellow and violet, so this is incomplete)

This is from the early 1960s! It has a price labeled at 45¢ on the top right! (There is a surface photo like this one on the internet with a 39¢ label that’s probably older)

This is a very unusual item that Crayola did! I wonder how much it would go for online?

(April 27, 2026) This is Week 17 of My Playing Cards Series! This week’s group will feature Black & White playing cards! Monochrome and simple decks of playing cards.

I’ve shared 204 decks of cards from my collection so far. Stay tune for more group showcases every Monday!

Even though there are two Tally-Ho Circle Back decks in this group and looked very indifferent, one of them is from the signature series that’s part of a 4 deck set, (Bicycle, Bee, Tally-Ho and Aristocrat) while the other is just a Black Circle Back deck that’s actually pretty rare.

That Black Tiger deck is the White Pips variation that was printed in earlier runs alongside the Red Pips. It’s one of Ellusionist’s earliest playing cards!

For next week’s preview: "The Force will be with you, always."
