My shipment of these left the origin in Texas, made it within 10-ish miles of me in NJ, and is apparently now back in Texas lol

Yeah, mine were in NJ on 4/26, then back in Austin on 4/28, and now I'm getting the "Moving Through Network" message with no real updates since then.

Not a big deal, but it's interesting to see the same thing seems to be happening to others.

Played these cards for a solid 6 hours yesterday. During that time I watched, in horror, at my players shuffling and abusing the crap out of them. Happy to say they survived the gauntlet and after inspection are ready for the next round of punishment. First time I’ve ever watched that closely, I hope I can remind myself to never do that again.

Same here. Got mine just fine. Played them the first time last week & am very pleased. Thanks @justincarothers !

Update - my cards have now gone back to Texas a second time. Not sure what the problem is. They’ve gotten to a local distribution center near me two times before being turned around. Wonder if I’ll ever get them lol

Anyone else who was having “return to sender” issues end up getting their packages?

 

[Subrosa]

Change the delivery location to your local distribution center and go get them. There might be a problem with the delivery address as its written on the package and it keeps going around. Jut a thought.

Played with these last night and absolutely loved them! I really liked the amount of texture on the backs; felt great, handled great, looks great. My clear favourite BAs. Thanks Justin (and others)!

I apologize if these questions have been answered already, but I've looked through this thread and the description on the Square site and haven't been able to find an answer.

1. Is the red ink on these the dark security ink, or bright red? From the pictures posted earlier in this thread it almost looks like it's somewhere in between. I have some of the Pro Bridge Jumbos (Red/Black) and those are very dark red, so I'm wondering how these compare.

2. How is the card stock on these compared to the Pro Bridge Jumbos (Red/Black)? I keep reading that these are thick, but I'm unable to find a direct comparison to those. I really like the card stock on the Pro Bridge Jumbos (maybe my favorite of any card stock I've tried across like 10 different brands of cards), but would love the same thing in Poker size and non-security ink.

Thank you!

Hey hi,
I’m new to it all but I have both setups so here’s my two cents, hope it helps. (sorry for the poor kitchen lighting)
1. I can see no difference in red between the two.
2. I can detect no difference in flex between the two (allowing for difference in size)
2. A little more texture to the backs of the poker size blue/gold compared to the black/red

I believe the pro-series line was requested to all be on same card stock; differences attributed to the China factor

Can confirm, no difference in pip art, color, background box, color, etc. between the two.

Only differences are spacing, back art/color, and back texture to your comments.

The teal/purple group group buy is expected to be identical to the red/black bridge sized, except for back art and Ace of Spades art.

@chopper @Cratty

Guys, thank you both SO much for the quick and thorough responses! This is exactly the info I was looking for, and the pictures are super helpful.

The dark red may be literally the only thing keeping the Poker Jumbos from ticking every box to be perfect cards (for me personally). I may go ahead and order a couple of sets just for the heck of it, since I love the card stock so much.

@Cratty, my understanding is you designed these cards. You really knocked it out of the park. I especially love the back design. I'm going through the journey (that I'm sure tons of people on here go through) where I've bought and tested out 10+ different decks over the last several months, and I like your back design better than all the others.

If you happen to know of any planned group buys in the future that have bright red ink, let me know! I will definitely get in on that.

Two AI chiefs this time?

Thought I’d chime in again. I ordered two setups and they arrived today. I’m a BIG fan of the card stock! Your descriptions of the differences between the poker and bridge sizes was spot-on.

Thanks again!
