Reshipping (ordering closed) Dal Negro Grand Slam Bridge Jumbo Red or Blue Decks Group Buy (Spring 2026 GB) (4 Viewers)

[TheOffalo]

Sadly, The Del Negro Grand Slams are the only decks of good cards that I can also easily find for sale, pre marked:

Not that I think any of our players would swap out cards, but I'll not invite temptation.

I get it. I came across some of those sites when I was checking the internet to see if there were any cheaper sources of these cards. But as Matt pointed out, they are available for all major brands, not just the Grand Slams, and they come (re)sealed so it's hard to tell.

Not saying this to try to convince you or anything, but my understanding is that these marked cards are quite expensive. If I'm collecting ~$1K from the GB participants, I'm not paying 3-4x that (or more) out of my own pocket for marked cards.

If anyone gets fancy UV/IR/RFID-marked cards for ~$12/deck from GBs, turn around and sell them to cheaters for a big profit!

I didn’t want to spam this thread with marked cards chat so I started a new thread

No one should be worried about these Grand Slams.

There is zero concern

 

[UncleMilty]

2 of each for me please

How do these compare to Copags?

How do these compare to Copags?

I don't have any Copags handy to do a side-by-side comparison right now, but from recollection, the Dal Negro decks just shuffled more smoothly and was nicer to deal/handle. I know those are subjective things, so it's hard to quantify.

Copags used to be a bit cheaper than these and could have been argued to be a better value, but now they're $22/setup. I think these are much better cards than Copags for essentially the same cost.

The best bang-for-buck decks are the Broken Arrows, but these Grand Slams are likely my favorite bridge-size decks, with a nice bright red (rather than the darker security red of the Fournier decks).

Thanks all for your participation. We're already at 70+ decks of each color after just a single weekend. I will close this by Friday, or if we get close to 100 decks of each color (don't want this GB to get too big).

 

[FoldKing72]

One of each please.

[justsomedude]

2x red
2x blue

Please!

 

[TheOffalo]

Bump. Planning to close this by Friday or we hit my 200-deck cap. Tagging folks again who were previously tagged in the OP but I hadn't commented with an order:

@quintooo @rustycheerio @fsupolo @davesilver88 @Baldeagle9 @Muckraker @Kentucky @sidetrash_08 @brewdawg @palindrome @Organista1 @suchj0sh @wonderpuddle @Suited Connector @bergs @JJDiamonds @breal_cards @Dodger @Sprinsd @Bikshu @Jonesey07 @PepperPaul @jamesjkim @Dcarl @modaan

No pressure to join (GB's already bigger than the last Grand Slam GB), but I also don't want anyone to miss out.

I’m all set for now, but thanks for keeping me in mind.

 

[IowaHoldem]

2 x Red
2 x Blue

Thanks

 

[FortunesFool]

I will take 4 red and 4 blue please! Thank you

 

[TheOffalo]

Since we're at just under 200 decks, I will unofficially close this GB.

If anyone already in want to adjust their numbers, please respond in-thread.

(I feel like a GB usually get a small flood of people wanting in after it closes, so I will give it 24 hours before I "officially" close it.)

 

[Maximus]

Put me down for 2 of each color please.

Can you update mine to:

20 x red, 12 blue

@RocAFella1 and @Tonystark137, are you getting 4 of each color (likely SFRB) or 8 of each color (likely PFRE)?
