Paper, poker size. I bet they came from Black Jack tables.
They are paper and poker size. They were made for blackjack tables but can be used for any card game.
They are the best paper cards you can buy (my opinion).
I had to work most of the day during the sale.
I was only able to pick up 2 colors of the roulette chips that's all what was available.
I really need 4 colors for my roulette table.
If someone wants to unload 2 racks of 2 different colors please let me know.I picked up lime and oak.I would like to find 2 out of the following 4 colors blue, yellow,pink and or orange.

I would argue that old Aristocrats were more durable.

Aristocrat cards are the golden mean. However, they are VERY difficult to find unopened and at a reasonable price.
I have Bee, Aristocrat, and Bicycle (and others, of course, but we're talking about paper). Although Bee cards are often a little thicker than others, inexperienced players might not notice the difference at all, and I'd even say there might not be any difference at all.
USPCC's quality varies greatly. They use only two types of cardstock: Standard and Premium. The only difference is the cardstock thickness. With Bee and Aristocrat, you're guaranteed to get Premium cardstock. Bicycle cards are usually standard, but are sometimes printed on thick premium cardstock. Frankly, the difference between them isn't that huge; perhaps an experienced magician could understand it, but poker players won't. But Bee cards are definitely the best paper cards you can afford. Bicycle cards are more common simply because they're cheaper.
I can say two things with certainty: at $12 for a dozen, Bee Casino cards are a steal, and you'll be hard-pressed to find new casino cards with graphics designed specifically for gambling.

I bought them because they are super cheap but is it even possible to play with these cards? are they durable? i feel like bicycles arent at all…
Yes you can play with these cards. They shuffle very well and glide across the table. BUT, they are paper and will wear out fast, and bend easily. All paper cards are not durable compared to plastic.
You have to "go easy on them." If you do, they will last a few hours per deck.
These are much better than bicycle. In my opinion, bicycle feel worn out as soon as you take them out of the pack for the first time.
Just remember, these cards are made for casino blackjack tables, where they are barley touched.
When playing poker, if the dealer maintains a death grip on the deck the entire time, or has sweaty palms, these paper cards will wear out much faster.
Does anyone know if the fat hats were used in the first circuit event, particularly the main event? I have fond memories of late nights watching these kinds of events as I was growing up in the poker boom.

Looks like they were not used in 2005 for the $10K Circuit event that they were made for (in favor of the 39mms). Not clear if they've ever been actually used in a tournament?

4 index cards make my eyes bleed
It’s wild to think about it, but the modern idea of Black Friday, the traffic, the madness, the crowds, the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season actually started right here in Pennsylvania.
In the 1950s and 60s, Philadelphia police started calling the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday” because the city would turn into complete chaos. Shoppers pouring in from the suburbs, Army–Navy weekend visitors crowding Center City, and traffic so bad it made Broad Street look like a parking lot. Store managers hated the name and tried calling it “Big Friday,” but Pennsylvanians being Pennsylvanians, we stuck with the honest version.
Eventually the whole country adopted it, and what started as a uniquely Philly headache turned into one of America’s biggest holiday traditions. Only in Pennsylvania could we accidentally invent a nationwide shopping holiday just by being ourselves.

Here’s the real history of Black Friday.
“Long before Black Friday became a global shopping stampede, it began—according to PCF, as a humble clearance event in the back rooms of America’s most glamorous, questionably ventilated casinos.
Casino vaults had a problem: mountains of used poker chips piling up after casinos closed down. To clear space, casinos delivered their surplus chips to The Chip Room by the truckload. There was a one-day sale the Friday after Thanksgiving, calling it “Black Friday” because coal-dust from The Chip Room warehouse furnace stained every box.
PCFers didn’t mind. They loved a deal. And they loved chips that smelled faintly of adrenaline, hooker juice, and regret.
Gamblers told friends. Dealers told cousins. One guy named @Josh Kifer told everyone because that’s just the kind of guy he is. Soon, crowds wrapped around The Chip Room forum thread, eager for a bargain on slightly scuffed souvenirs from tables where fortunes were won, lost, and occasionally cried over.
The press misinterpreted the chaos and figured the day was called “Black Friday” because of traffic jams and retail profits. PCF didn’t correct them—we were too busy figuring out proper percentages of each chip we could buy so our order wouldn’t be canceled.
Major retailers noticed that the little chip sale was drawing huge crowds. They said, “Hey, we can do that—just without the lingering scent of cigar smoke and spilled gin.” Next thing PCF knew, everybody was selling televisions at 4 a.m., while The Chip Room was still trying to sell stacks of $5 chips with faded edges.
But PCF stayed true to our roots. No TVs, just memories of past bets embedded in durable clay composite.
Modern Black Friday may have evolved, but The Chip Room still commemorates the original spirit: offering discount prices on used, circulated casino chips—each one carrying a story, a superstition, and possibly some glitter from a showgirl’s costume.
Some call it nostalgia. Others call it questionable inventory management.
PCF calls it tradition…. PCF wives call it divorce.”
Is there a video coverage of the 2005 event? I feel like I remember watching it on TV. Unless I was confusing it with the 2006.
I reached out to Poker go and ESPN, but no one has the footage

You're right that 2005 (first year of the WSOP Circuit) was filmed & televised, but it doesn't seem like that footage exists on the internet right now.

Don't forget that paper cards are easier to mark than plastic ones. And if you're playing in groups where this might happen, or for serious money, it's better to use plastic.
But damn! At the last game at home, my relatives praised them and directly said they liked these new paper cards. In any case, for the money, they're a great deal.
