Hi Folks! 
I am Don Alex, aka "Saint Subversive", and I just joined a few minutes ago.
I thought I would start off by posting what decks I have in my collection so far.
I have:
Cosmic (my first and still favorite)
Arthurian Legend
Arthurian Hallowquest
Holy Grail
Grail Templar
Merlin
Celtic (Lo Scarabeo)
Dragon
Vampire
Rider/Waite (miniature)
World Spirit
Arcus Arcanum
Navigators of the Mystic Sea
Druids
Druidcraft
Classic (Marseilles)
The ones I want to get eventually are:
Gothic Tarot of Vampires
Cosmic Tribe
Decameron
Jodorowsky's Marseilles
I Am One
Buckland's Romani
1001 Nights
Atlantis
Halloween
Tarot of the Elves
Revelation
Northern Shadows
Babylonian (Sumerian)
Nostradamus Dreams
Then that will make an even 30 decks, and Ill feel I have a good basic collection. 
Thanks for the great collector's forum, nice to be here!

Welcome aboard Alex.
I suspect it won't be too long before you end up with more than 30 decks if you hang around here!
Cheers Sumada

Yeah, I noticed from other lists posted here that my collection really IS pretty basic (lol). Im picking and choosing my decks very carefully, and within my limited budget that currently excludes some of the pricier ones, like Jodorowsky's Marseilles deck, though I am a big fan of Jodorowsky's cult films and really want that one badly, and his related Tarot book too. I love each one for a certain personal or thematic reason (like getting all of the gorgeous Arthurian/Grail decks), and so many decks are works of art in their own right and have a cool theme that opens another area of possible decks to collect too ... its sort of my way of collecting "fine art", if you will.
I just started seriously collecting decks and books a few months ago, when I found out how great a deal you can get on Ebay for many decks and books, like $10 delivered with postage included, which is what I paid recently for a package deal on the Merlin deck and book together, or $3-$5 for tons of different and excellent Tarot books, often with postage included too. For that kind of low price, its hard to resist getting multiple decks and books, sometimes it's like they are giving them away on Ebay, though at other times you can overpay for a deck if you're not careful (the week before, someone paid over $30 for a Merlin deck alone in an auction I lost).
thanks for the welcome!
Don Alex
