Thank you for clarifying. I almost choked, cuz this is not what I understand "blackjack index" to be. Whew!

Blackjack is the perfect index size nothing else needed 
Every time I hear "blackjack index" I think about Tech Art indexes with the 4 indexes on the aces and the raised index on the 10 and court cards. You know, the index made for the blackjack peek devices.
But Desjgn "blackjack index" is not Tech Art/peek device compatible, and I originally misunderstood that.
You can think of "blackjack index" as "plus sized standard" index or "petite sized jumbo" index. A "happy medium" index, if you will.
Still, Tech Art/peek device compatible cards from Desjgn to actually play blackjack would be baller. Sadly, I know there would not be enough interest.

Not really but it's a compromise between the people that still want Standard index but have an odd aversion to Jumbo index. Blackjack index is a little easier for old eyes to read but still would prefer Jumbo index.

For me it’s a bit about the index size (easier to see, especially at poorly lit tables), but it’s more about the larger sized artwork, especially the face cards. Best of both worlds.

↑ This. The blackjack index especially makes it possible to have larger characters.

I’m a poker sized guy, in general, and I do prefer standard index from an aesthetic standpoint, but using standard index on a full size table is just a death wish. So poker size jumbo for NLHE is my preferred.
Bridge size blackjack index is the perfect combo for a mixed game table with 7 or fewer players where you’re gonna have lots of hole cards, in my opinion.

Decided to go with 2 bridge and 1 poker size sets in each color combo. Might end up unloading 1 bridge set of each color eventually. Maybe.

Hey @RocAFella1, yes. Once I have the cards in hand, I'll post listings on eBay so that sales tax can be collected and I'll share links.

Will have to let go 4 or 5..

I’m pretty sure Jason will have some for retail sale after all the kickstarter supporter orders are fulfilled. But I doubt they will last very long if these cards are as good as i suspect they will be.
I too have high hopes. It is a very good time to care about what cards you play with!
Yep, it appears we are going through a sort of golden era for some really nice card releases this last year.

Oh man, I wished I was able to join the Kickstarter, would have loved to buy a couple of sets to also share with friends. Got myself the classic circle, I just love the cards! Unfortunately some friends are colour blind, these from the Kickstarter would have been perfect. @JMC9389 when mentioning new desjgn coming out later this year on fournier stock, I suppose you're referring to the ones from this topic? Or another release on the way (also through Kickstarter)?
These cards from the Kickstarter just wrapping up.
DM @desjgn and check, I'm sure he will probably have some extras for sale later.
Yes. I didn't realize what thread we were in
Oups sorry! Wrong thread…
I think the Kickstarter was to get funds and commitments for early adopters, but the production would likely include additional inventory, not just to fulfill the orders of the backers. The KS description states:
So the setups will likely be available at "retail" price of $22 through eBay/Etsy afterwards...

Modiano Platinum are my favs, but they are hard to find. When in stock, you can buy direct from the company, but they are often not available. Some of the other Modiano cards are almost as good, less expensive, and worth trying. The "Texas Poker" and "DaVinci" lines are often available on Amazon.

I've bought some modiano platinum decks from burn card shop: https://burncard.shop/product/modiano-platinum-acetate-poker-cards-red-blue-setup-2-decks/ there's a discount code I think somewhere in the vendor page on this forum!
