They probably sold all the Reds to somebody else and told them there were no Blue deck left. All we have to do is find those people.

Maybe one day, but at least we have a bunch of good Blue decks in the meantime.

Thanks, but I'm good with what I have for now.

I really should open up the bins and have a sale . . .

I did that last year, thinking I didn't need so many setups and would cut back. I now have more Fourniers and Bicycle Prestige jumbo (red/blue)...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

If you have an old case just buys these for $11. I had an old Copag case I filled with a set of these

Do they have beige centers? I can't seem to find pictures of the card faces...

Has anyone ever heard of Marion cards? Nothing comes up in the search bar

Milo013 · Feb 19, 2018

Not sure they are in production any longer.

CdnBeerLover · Feb 19, 2018

Yes, I have some of the Marion Pro poker size cards. Not a bad card, but no yellow centers.

They look similar to Royals, but they do not feel at all like Royals. Not a bad card overall.

Edit: found a review I wrote at https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/cards-review.3776/#post-14667

Those cards look (and are priced) suspiciously like Royals. Best to keep one's distance.

No. Sorry. The thread diverged and I forgot about that request

For sale in Amazon and on their website

As stated above, the Ace of spades design looks suspiciously like that of Royals.

Say it with me . . . FOURNIER (FORN-YAY).

Which Fournier do you like? I got some 818 but I am not a fan, too slippery.

Found a Hobbyphylic review on them. They are from the same Tawain company as Royals but are different material. He thought they were ok. Not enough to interest me. Same as @cndbeerlover

Nex · Feb 20, 2018

The two variants I previously posted a photo of were 2818 (poker size) and 2826 (bridge size).

+1 on the Fourniers, which are way above copag / modiano, etc. and worth every extra penny

But for me the best are the NTP "Black Jack Long Life". I am surprised nobody mentioned them so far, maybe perhaps they are increasingly difficult to find. They are a pleasure to shuffle, and very easy to read. And have the beige center as well

Forgot all about NTP. I concur. They are great.

BGinGA · Feb 20, 2018

I have one setup, still unopened. Eventually....

v1pe · Feb 20, 2018

I don't see NTP in bridge size (n) :thumbsdown:

Old State · Feb 20, 2018

Only see them for sale on Amazon for $30 a deck

CdnBeerLover · Feb 20, 2018

NTP are available in Canada from StraightPokerSupplies. They are listed on the Dal Negro page at $35 CDN/ setup, but at least they are available.

NTP is the "entry level" for Dal Negro, iirc.

As to Fourniers, I like the 2826 (bridge) when the ladies are playing. If it's me and the boys, I will go for the poker sized cards (2818).

Love to hear this. People seem so polarized about sizes. If it’s a quality card (Fournier, design, Ken, Kings (from Australia - nobody mentions these) then I’m thrilled to use either size.

I mostly agree, but since I deal all my games I just prefer the smaller bridge size. Easier for my small hands to handle.

Milo013 · Feb 20, 2018

My preference is for poker size, as I am a large guy with big hands. We self-deal on poker nights and my wife barely tops 5'0''

Given the pricing ($25 for a Dal Negro setup, $35 for NTP), I would have thought the reverse was true. Interesting read at https://www.dalnegro.com/eng/azienda-dal-negro/ ... apparently NTP was an acquisition, and they specialized in cards for casinos.

Milo013 · Feb 20, 2018

Well well well . . . never too old to learn something new. Thanks.

Copag are best value for money, but for the discerning, now one does it better than KEM
