Just got these from Kardwell. I love their look. I love full bleed and the face cards have a very classic look about them.
They’re fairly stiff. I don’t have a lot of stiff cards on hand to compare them to, but I’d say if you like stiff cards you’ll like these and if you like them flexy, you probably wont. FWIW, they’re not so stiff that you can’t do that big bridge shuffle that so many non-dealers like to do, but almost - they’re right there.
They appear to have the same finish on both sides, which is smooth not textured. Which makes for a nice buttery smooth shuffle.
They pitch fine. Not the best ever, but no complaints. They gather just about perfectly, probably a 9/10 there. Just about zero top card float, another 9/10.
They appear to have a very slight bow, out of the box. Doesn’t affect handling at all, but that’s something worth keeping an eye on.
Two jokers, no cut cards.
Their price is borderline outrageous - $25.50 in any colors you want as long as they’re green and black. Add $18.24 for shipping (was the same for one or two setups for me) and they’re not a cost effective solution. But bridge jumbo is getting harder to find these days. And if you like bridge jumbo full bleed stiff cards, these are for you!!!!!
