There are dumber ways to spend 30 bucks.

Also if it keeps me out of the classifieds then it’s cheaper to collect playing card sets than… anything else in the classifieds

Fournier are on the higher price end but they worth it. They seem the most ‚precise‘ brand - every deck leave the factory is pico bello!
EPT got a nice bright red and are not printed close to the edge like 2818.

Fournier are the Steady Eddie of the card universe. You know what you're getting with them and they're consistently good.

well......cut cards are pretty affordable, and no warping issiues

@SwissChip , I've contacted my re-seller who got replacements from Modiano.
He'll ship me replacement decks for free. So in the end, it'll get sorted out, which I'm happy as these cards are fantastic if well printed.

Went back through the different options looking for Dal Negro. Bit frustrating, some sites have red but not blue (or the opposite color) to complete a setup. Ended up buying a setup from your mastersofgames website, thanks!

Great choice, I just bought same cards not so long ago (my first Dal Negros) and I love them. They handle great.
I wish I could get some Dal Negro Virgolone or Treviso but they are either discontinued or shipping would be 15x the price of a deck

Working on it....

So after my Euro delivery:

Here’s most of the POKER sized curated collection (bridge are excommunicado in my house):

Also have a Modiano Platinum and an FSX jumbo that live with my two sets. Also ordered a couple of the WPT editions that should arrive this week:

I think I should be able to host a monthly game now… will take me through to the end of 2026 if I rotate setups each month >.>

Once you have the Fourniers and Dal Negros in the rotation, you don't want to use anything else. That's why I sold most of my Copag cards a long time ago.

Yeah, it’s funny how they used to be the ‘premium’ cards to me (before I knew anything) but now they’ll likely be kept for camping/ outdoor BBQ type games.

I think they’re still one of the best options for price/availability for most folk.
