Flush
Okay, yes, a bit of a dramatic title. I have played with many many different brands of cards. We all have our preferences and opinions about cards. The only brand that I have universally hated have been Copag. I think maybe I simply got some bad decks of them? I have had three setups of Copags in my life, one deck that I simply threw in the garbage long ago, one setup of ESPN Poker Club branded, and some deck that has very strange PIPs on them that I don't know the name of. I find them flimsy, unsubstantial, they bow easily, and the faces wear quickly. In fact, the only thing I like about them are the plastic boxes they come in!
In feeling the two setups I have, it almost seems like Copag didn't bother applying any finish to them. I know Copags are popular, so what am I missing here?
As far as the South America thing goes, I tried to to acquire cards made on all six populated continents. I couldn't find any plastic cards made in Africa, but I have ones made on the other five continents. When I ask players what continent they want to use cards from, if they say South America, they get a slap in the face, we play one hand with Copags, and I ask again!
