...too bad they are so darn thick.
Try eBay or create a classified on here. I’ve found a few this forum. I have a little collection of Italian goodness!

Interested as to why as the Fournier/Congress & the Forunier 2826 are pretty much the exact same card just different branding. Or is it the 2826's that you don't like.
Come to think of it the first and only time I played with the Congress cards was at Jeff’s and I remember they were bowed. I was surprised by this because not too many cards besides Kem are likely to warp.I know man, it's weird. I had the same conversation about those Congress with @abby99 in Minneapolis. It pains me to say what I did since I know a lot of people like them. I just don't. Also, I'm not sure they are exactly the same. I have a suspicion they are produced in different facilities, but I'm not sure obviously. OR, the storage of those were in a different place.
But this has been my experience: They do feel similar to other Fourniers BUT, all of them, and I mean 100% of the decks I've played with, whether at home or away, were bowed. And that bugs the crap out of me. I just hate it since it makes dealing unpleasant. I've played with many other Fournier and 0% was bowed.
Maybe I am just the un luckiest man on earth as far as Congress cards are concerned, LOL!!! But I'm talking many, many decks (and 100% of them) in poor shape.

I am surprised Dal Negro gets little love. They are amazing cards IMO.
They are just harder to find and a bit more expensive. At least it seems that way in the US. I've actually never handled a deck.
I love Dal Negro. I wish I bought more when they were more available. I believe Kardwell sells them but the shipping is fairly high. I would be interested in doing a mini group buy if there’s enough interest.
Once u go bridge u never go backfor my games we have been using a couple decks of old KEM poker size jumbo index plastic cards that I've had for a decade. Just recently I acquired a couple decks of Faded Spade jumbo index in poker size and a couple decks of Faded Spade 4 color index in poker size. The jumbo index faded spades were an absolute hit over the previous KEM's at the last poker night.
You are probably in the only country on Earth where people can find and buy Piatniks on a non random basis.I pretty much always end up using either my Piatniks or the new Desjgns, both poker size regular index.
