This site was initiated and created by Miriam van Houten and Joop Muller (a.k.a.
jopo). We have been together since 1975 and 10 years later we
moved from Amsterdam to Zaandijk, a small town just above Amsterdam. In 1996 we
started to seriously collect playing cards and since 1998 we have maintained a website about this
hobby. In 2004 we have continued that website under our new domain name,
dxpo-playingcards.com, with more Mb's available than ever before. Since then our
site has just grown bigger and bigger. On the 1st of each month there's an update with new
additions and/or expositions (xpo's). Their number depends on the available
spare time, but there will at least be a new Deck of the Month and a new Joker
of the Month each time. |
We have always enjoyed the socializing and exchange of knowledge with other collectors at the collector meetings in Holland and Belgium as well as at the international conventions of the IPCS and 52+Joker club.
The main purpose of this site is to show the visitors decks from our collection, often related to certain topics in the xpo's, and so present the large variety of designs in new, vintage and antique decks. I hope it will show the passion for these small printed pieces of card and pass it on to other people too. By sharing my knowledge about playing cards, I hope that more people will get interested in this specific hobby, especially those of the younger generation. There are other cards than MtG or Pokemon cards and they too have a story to tell.
