Cards under 30 bucks (3 Viewers)

[snowu]

Hey,
I currently own a setup of Copags and was looking to expand my card setups. I prefer not to drop 60+ on a setup on kems. Currently I was looking at some faded spades (maybe too thick for me), broken arrow series, and desijn. But it was hard to find a set up where to get desijn or any other card setup. I would want if anyone have recommendation for me and plus links to purchase them. Thanks!

If you’re looking for quality cards on thinner stock definitely give @AHPC a shout.

Desjgn are fantastic. Find them on here or check the eBay store. Any Fournier you can get your hands on are top notch as well.

 

[Bacon Dad]

Give Dal Negro a look and Trefl too!!!

 

[valleychips]

Also personally love Da Vincis. The perfect thickness and handling to me, at least

Yes check Kardwell (they have a history but have been fine so far for me) I recently picked up the NTP - love them

We've been using these LotFancy setups ever since the Amazon card shootout a couple years ago and really like them for the price! They shuffle great and seem to hold up very well, I've only replaced one setup so far and that was because of one damaged card (we play monthly).

Meh. Combination of Spinettis and used KEMs make this a hard pass for me.

I can't fight you there, but I can buy spoiled milk for much cheaper than safe milk, doesn't mean I want it. Join the KEM haters club, we have a union.

I have this exact setup (I think I won them in a drawing at the ol' HPT) in fact it's going in rotation in our game on the 15th. I like them just fine. I just won't be replacing them if they bow/wear/disappear.

You can get brand new KEMs (at least new old stock) of the 2011 WSOP cards on eBay for $18.71 plus shipping:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/153143241391

Many of us have bought from this seller and they are great cards.
However, these were the KEMs that were pulled because of the WSOP card fiasco that year. Under certain lighting and angles, a few low denom cards reflect light a bit differently. Still not a bad deal for new KEMs.

Or, same seller has 4 setups of WSOP 2012 used Fournier cards for $14.40 plus $9.50 shipping. I have numerous setups of these (from this seller as well) and they are in virtually new condition.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/136675169675
If they are sold out, reach out to the seller, he is a really nice guy and will likely make a deal with you. He is sitting on a TON of these cards...he once told me he doesn't think he will ever be able to sell them all.

Very good choice!

And I just now remember receiving this email from Kardwell in case it’s useful to anyone:

 

[davefr]

Get some Marion Pro for around $21 shipped. IMHO they're among the best cards I've played with. (no fading, no warping, no smell and perfect handling) They use Kuo Kau's premium PVC card stock. The more I use them the more I love them. They're kind of "sleepers" here and don't get talked about much. I wish more cards would switch over to Kuo Kau's process. (like Desjgn??)

They come in a hard plastic case vs. a flimsy cardboard box.

If you really want to get <<$20 you can't beat Lot Fancy

 

[maxim_666666]

If you're interested, try Modiano Platinum. They're really good cards, and my players absolutely love them.

 

[Phyffe]

My current "value" recommendation are 2 decks of Copag Elite (they don't come in a setup). I find them to shuffle better, feel better and sturdier than the standard 1546s.

Of course, if you have access to, and can afford Modiano Platinums then by all means do so as you will not regret it.

Last night I finally got to put the Broken Arrow cards (purple orange Poker jumbo) I ordered in August into play at the final table of our tournament. The other tables had been using WSOP Copags and a couple people said they had to "adjust their eyes" to the new pips but they also said they shuffled very nice.

 

[snowu]

just got broken arrows just me or r they kinda rlly rough on the edges

My only issue is that I had been dealing bridge size all night until the final table so my hands needed a about an orbit to adjust. But I liked dealing them, players liked the look, so my next buy will be the bridge Pro Series.

 

[Colquhoun]

What cards are you used to handling? The Broken Arrows have a bit of a grittier edge than some cards.
Now KEMs have more of a definite "tooth" to the edge, and I think that's what makes them feel most like paper cards. I prefer the texture on card edges.

 

[snowu]

i’m used to faded spades and copags so it’s a lot differnet

 

[KingHigh]

I just ordered myself 2 decks of the NTPs. Currently love my Desjgn cards and figured let’s give another Italian card company a try

I really like everything about the NTPs except they are my only cards that do not slide across the table topper. Since my game is rotating dealer, it would be very difficult for players seated on the ends to pitch cards to everyone. I’ll definitely put the NTPs into play though next time I host on my heptagon table.

I'm not saying these cards are great (they aren't bad either, kinda middle of the road) but value for dollar is huge here. I'll order this for a big tournament at the union hall and when someone leaving mentions liking them I give them a deck. At this price you can't lose.
