RECEIVED!

They're very nice - feel and look great - will get them in play tonight!

Thnaks!

EDIT: Three of the four people that bought a setup with me are playing tonight, so that's four people getting deliveries today. I'll see the last one tomorrow. Thanks for putting my six setups in the first mailing run.

Also, I already regret not ordering more.

Played last night... Everyone approves.

The 4 and Q are hits, too.
 
Would someone mind comparing the cards against other poker-size jumbo cards (pip size, etc)? I'm curious to see how they compare.

It turns out I don't have many jumbo pip cards but here are a couple of comparison shots. From top to bottom: Modiano, Piatnik, & Copag.

Same thing here, from top to bottom: Modiano, Piatnik, and Copag.

If anybody got any extras (or don't like theirs) hit me up. No idea why I didn't jump in on this one.
 
For all those in the GB I am still waiting on the replacement cards that did not come in this weekend. I am pretty sure they will come in towards the beginning of next week. I am traveling to DFW and will not return until Thursday morning. I will try and get everything wrapped up by the weekend.
 
It appears there will be another order placed on Monday for some more of the imported Piatnik Poker Size Jumbo Index cards which will arrive here in mid to late June. There will not be another order placed until late July so those would not come in until sometime in September.

Please note the pricing will go up a bit from the group buy because it will not ship free unless we hit $1000 for the order. If anyone has any interest in more of cards let me know and I will place another order.

FYI - I do have a couple of extra Bridge size international index that I can sell if anyone is interested in a set up those. Please refer the OP for pricing
 
Hey David, any more word on whether the Bridge/Jumbo non-4 corner index are ever going to be available again?
I keep asking and they say those were not a big seller and were discontinued. It might be a European thing. Anyway, I have a note to keep asking them every quarter in hopes that they will print them again. At this time, Austria is completely out of previously printed cards of that size and index and they have no plans to reprint them.

Let's keep our fingers crossed, say a few prayers or do what you do for good luck and maybe one day they will make them available. I am down to only one setup of those and would like more before I open that setup!
 
Thanks for continuing to pester them David.

I'll bury some sacrificial warped KEM cards with some chicken bones under a full moon and hope for the best. ;)
I might have to try that with a setup of warped Gemaco cards although the only chicken I have here is boneless!
 
I'm so torn. These are nice. I've been gathering various makes/models of cards and these are really nice. I wanted bridge/jumbo, but I don't think Piatnik makes those. Also, I have Piatnik bridge regular index and, is it me, or do they handle differently than the poker size? They just seem more slippery than the poker. Maybe the added weight of the poker cards slows them down a bit (making them less slippery)? I like the poker so much, i might just add them to my bridge rotation anyway.

Personally, I would have preferred Jumbo Index bridge size as well but they did not have anymore in stock and it appears that the folks in Europe like the international index for bridge so they are not planning to print them. My contact did say that I will be sent the new catalogue when it is available in January. If this catalogue shows the Bridge Jumbo index available you can c*nt on another GB then!

As far as the Poker Size Jumbo those will become permanent in the rotation. Love the feel of them!

Thanks again David for all the work. You went above and beyond and I could not be happier with the cards (or the price we paid) :D
