Are these salvageable? (1 Viewer)

[jedigak1]

Can you reform plastic cards or are these just trash? They are bowed in both directions and do not shuffle well.

Thanks

Doesn't look good. Better off grabbing an Amazon Warehouse deal on the KEM Paisley's, two decks for $14, available now.

(All the decks I purchased via the Warehouse came sealed/unused, with damaged boxes.)

Thanks

As a book mark? Sure. To put in your bicycle spokes? Definitely. As drink coasters? Maybe? But I'd probably just buy a new setup for poker.

No guarantees whatsoever, but I was interested enough to try once and had some success. They weren't near as bad as those, though. Took the deck and flipped every other card. Set that on a flat hard book. Then, further flat hard books on top. Built a tower about 3 ft tall of massive books. Left for days. I was partly joking, but it actually did seem to help some.

edit: grammar are hard

Put your deck between two flat and heavy surfaces and leave it there for a week or two. Meanwhile, purchase another setup to play with. By the time you remember to check after having forgotten that you did the experiment in the first place, they should be flat.

Don’t heat them, they will shrink about 20%. For $15 you can, redo them like new, I mean buy new cards and they will be like new.

Where is this deal?

Where is this deal?

Looks like they are Bridge decks, so a little narrower, but a deal nonetheless.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Where is this deal?

look over on the right, look for "used" items

Oh, ugh I didn’t realize these were used.
Thanks for pointing that out.

FYI, if you prefer poker size, that's fine. But realize that the narrower "bridge" size is the industry standard for poker. The misnomer is a mystery.

Most likely they're not - probably just have broken boxes - read the notes for each product

All my priors are like this recent purchase, damaged or open box, sealed deck. Just in case, free returns.

Inventory changes daily, just search the Amazon Warehouse for Kem, Copag, plastic playing cards, etc. There will be options.

Take about 1/4 of the deck and put the bent card at the bottom. Then put the pile on the window sill in the sun. Give it a few hours and it'll be flat. Works for me every time without fail.

I'll send these along with the other freeroll stuff you won.

The whole deck was like that. I just showed one card because it highlighted the curvature.
With @kaimat generosity, time to pitch these.

No way, try some wacky schemes and see if they work. For science!

With Kem cards we were flattening the curve before our time!
Sorry
