Dal Negro Virgolone ? what are your thoughts on these (1 Viewer)

Pics above show NTP cards I bought recently. I did not know that they 4 pip regular index, otherwise I would steer clear away from them but I am not complaining.
Love the packaging (all cards should be sold like that), plastic box is solid but does not snap close, still great way to store cards.
They feel great almost a little paper feel (bit fuzzy under fingertips). Closest in feel are Belgian stock Cartamundi (NEDER, Tobago and son) but NTP are a bit stiffer.
The faces are ugly, red ink dark and 4 pips unacceptable to most.
On the bright side they shuffle great, have nice backs.
Cant say anything about durability yet.

As I said before my pick from Dal Negro so far are Grand Slams (Texas line is to stiff and borderline plastic in feel).

I wonder if I find NTP in bridge and bright red?

I’ve got to get ahold of those NTP cards to try.

Are they poker size with standard index?

I’m looking for poker size.

All the comments above are consistent in what I felt with my decks. Grainy/textured feel. More effort involved in shuffling - not sure if that is due to heavier card stock or texture. Although Dal Negro cards are fantastic cards, there are other decks that feel better when shuffling and dealing.

what others do you like better then these ? if I may ask
