Copag 1546 Design 100% Plastic Playing Cards, Poker Size (Standard) Black/Gold (Jumbo Index, 1 Set)

After searching numerous options on the market, I decided on Copag Playing Card Set. This 2-deck set of plastic cards is stylish, durable, with jumbo-sized numbers for easy viewing and a protective plastic case. These cards slide with ease across my poker table. Will definitely buy again!

These cards are perfect. Right out of the box they are easily shuffled (riffle shuffle). They do not tend to retain a bend in them (like our bicycle cards used to do) These cards have larger lettering than our bicycle cards and make games that have community cards easier to read. My entire table is very happy with these cards. They are not cheap. but they are worth every penny.

got what I paid for.

I always get so many compliments when I use these cards the design is so pretty. The size is perfect. I buy a lot of cards but copag are one of my favorites the cards are durable and easy to wipe off if someone spills on them. Very easy to use. Well worth the price and they last a long time.

These cards are very nice. They are the first plastic cards I've ever bought. I will not use paper cards in a Hold 'em game at my house ever again. I will occasionally buy the "specialty" paper Bicycle cards (ie: Alchemy, Karnival), but only as novelties, not for game use.Da Vinci comparison:Compared to Da Vinci, I would rank them half a star less. If I could, I would give these a 4.5 star rating and the Da Vinci's a 5-star. The difference comes down to personal taste.The Da Vinci's are slightly stiffer than the Copags.The Da Vinci's have more of a paper feel on the backs than the Copags, and about the same feel on the faces.Positives:As with any plastic card, these are washable. If beer or greasy fingers or even pizza - whatever gets on them, just fill the sink with soapy water, and throw the whole deck in. Gently wash and dry each card. They come out like new! And they last a LOT longer than any paper deck. Once you get a set of good plastic cards, You won't be hurrying to buy another plastic-coated paper deck.Negatives:The Copags STINK out of the pack. Literally! Some kind of plastic/chemical odor. I just washed them two or three times in soapy water and the odor goes away. The odor will also fade after a few hours of use. The Da Vinci's I bought did not have this problem. It may have something to do with the manufacture process or the ink used.Some people have complained that the Copags get dirty faster than the Da Vinci cards. I haven't seen that happen, and we've played probably 200-250 hands with each deck. Beer has been spilled on both, with no staining, etc. Just clean as mentioned above.The two-deck hard case for these decks is nice, BUT, it doesn't fit nicely into the typical chip case. Those chip cases are designed to hold single card boxes. I had to buy empty card boxes to put each deck in, and not use the double-deck hard case that they came in.Overall:Great value. These will probably outlast paper cards 10 to 1. The finish is great. No printing defects have been found yet, nor do I expect to find any. Cards are not scratched from dropping on the floor and scraping up, despite my abrasive ceramic tile floor. I only wish they had more back designs available in the Poker-Size. They seem to have more varieties of the Bridge-Size.

Do not even think of purchasing another set. These are the best cards ever. Never get flimsy and slide across ever table with ease. My sister bought me a set. Now I gift them to my friends.

Easy to handle and shuffle. They stay nice and clean too.

Excellent experience
