My current card collection (just an updated picture for new decks received recently)

762C8D7E-1314-456C-9AF8-6AA68D912B51.jpeg


I have (jumbo index, poker/bridge mix):
- Zero (Tabriz)
- Ace
- NTP
- Gemaco (Superflex)
- Modiano (Texas Poker / Alpha)
- Bicycle (Prestige)
- Fournier (2800)
- Piatnik (Poker)
- Dal Negro (Statue of Liberty / Monkey)
- King (Monarch / Medieval)
- GYT
- Faded Spade
- Bullets
- Copag (1546 / Copa Casino)
- Da Vinci (Club Casino
- Kem
- Angel (Aristo / Club Poker)
- Desjgn (Victorian / Baroque)
- Guild
- Cartamundi (Bravo)

Not pictured but now have:
- Ovalyon
- Trefl

Not sure what else would be easy-ish to add to the collection. I would want jumbo index and 100% plastic of course!

Couple thoughts:
- Grimaud
- Cartamundi Belgium

Amazing collection !
I really want to try Gemaco Superflex but they are too hard to find (not Monte Carlo) .
 
Where does one find Piatnik?!
With great difficulty?
I agree that there will always be a place in my top 5 for Piatnik, but they're so hard to find in America that they're barely worth mentioning. eBay often yields some, at exhorbitant prices. (I see a single deck there now @$30 plus $20 shipping.) There's been a goup buy or two here for them. But it ain't easy.

I just purchased my first deck of decent playing cards, Modiano Texas Poker and hot daymmmm they feel good.

Love your collection! Any recommendations?

It really comes down to personal preference.

Do you like a softer more flexible stock vs a more stiff stock?

Do you like a grainy coarse finish or a smooth finish?

What pip/court artwork do you prefer? How about back design / color?

Tons of options and depending on preference there are decks that will fit the bill.
 
So as a new comer to the world of plastic cards without a real idea of what the difference is, what brands would you recommend? I currently have a setup of copags and desjgn, kem is next on my list to try I'd suppose. Still haven't been able to host where I am, but hopefully soon I can get some input from my crew aswell. Anything else you recommend trying so I can get a feel for the differences between stifness, finish, ect...
 
A bunch of people have had warping issues with Kems. Putting a DB on top of the deck upside down in the box seems to help with the bowing.
