Do you like the faded spade cards look? (2 Viewers)

I Have seen a lot of live streams use them nowadays so I decided to purchase a couple decks, I really like the design. However i feel like they are very thin.

Thin isn't how I would describe any iteration of Faded Spade cards lol.

I like how they look, yes. But from each of their three runs of card stock, there has been a very major issue with each of them. There's a reason that the Borgata and other major casinos went back to Kem just weeks after putting Faded Spade cards on their tables.

Do I think they will be up there one day with the card giants of the world like Cartamundi or Angel in terms of quality? Yes, but it's going to take a while. They're still pretty new to the card game. If the quality of the product matches their marketing prowess, they'll be there sooner rather than later.

Thin?

Faded Spade card stock probably ranks as one of the thickest in the market for plastic sets.

Font/artwork is nice. That's the biggest draw for most folks.

This is probably the first, and last time anyone has mentioned Faded Spades as being “thin”

Love the face look of faded spade. Backs are meh.

Faded Spades are very thick, but yes I love their designs, backs and fronts. Great for streams and new players alike.

Some people have had issues with cards splitting and warping, and these are valid concerns. I like them because my apes are rough with cards and this prevents me having to throw them out due to a wrongly placed fingernail.

I disliked the look of faded spades when they first came out.
These days, I’m used to them.

Faded Spade are great for the shufflletech. To stiff for my liking if I had to shuffle and deal.

@desjgn > faded spade

 

[allforcharity]

The cards look fine. But use them if you like how they feel when playing. I have learned to shuffle better so they don't bother me as much, but I still prefer most other brands.

I expect they would perform well in a shuffler due to their thickness/durability.

 

[jimgunz]

I like them, not jumbo index but big enough to see from corner seats. The new ones have been fairly durable too.

Faded spade products suck imo

 

[RagingAZN]

The designs are nice but can’t comment on how they feel unfortunately.

Do they play with poker or bridge size oN HCL? Maybe its the camera but the cards look huge on screen!

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

I've heard bad things about splitting but my players and I have loved them, never had issues. The art is great and gets a lot of compliments.

Most streams will use poker size, easier to see.

Faded spade 3.0 are great. Love the look, larger font, and huge ace pip.

2.0 look identical but we're a little thick and slick. Hard to shuffle for some. They did break in eventually. 3.0 solved that tho
