Has anyone seen Faded Spade cards do this? (1 Viewer)

[TheDonkeyKong]

I’d say this faded spade deck has seen less then 15 games of use and this happened to one of the cards. The card somehow split in 2 lol, I’ve never had something like this happen before. Kinda sucks as the deck is basically useless now.

I’ve had a few 2.0s split, they are notorious. Haven’t had it on a 3.0 yet. What card was this.

I’ve also heard if send them the card they’ll replace it but I’ve never bothered to try that out

This is one of the features of Faded Spades, the best cards evar....

Now you have 2 cards for the price of one.

Known issue with older gen Faded Spades. Haven’t personally experienced any issues with previous or current gen cards though.

They make up for it with their other awesome features. Oh wait..

Pretty sure it’s one of the earlier generations. I actually love the way faded spade cards feel and shuffle. I was wanting to get one of the newer setups, but as a Canadian I’m looking at around $75 for 1 deck lol! Will see if I can score one on the site in the near future, hopefully they fixed this problem from happening again.

To be fair, I think they finally got it right with the FSX/V4 cards. They don't have the cupping and the bowing of the V1 and V3 cards and haven't had any documented instances of the card splitting of the V2's.

A 6 hour session in a self dealt game will give everyone shuffling them a work out, but I really do like the pips and face artwork on these.

All my faded spades did this eventually. Never again!

The price and non-combining of shipping is still a deal breaker for me.

It's definitely on the high end and there are cheaper and more accessible options for not a large dip in quality (if not an outright upgrade in cheaper options).

It's hard to justify more than one setup a person given the shipping, since even if you get a group of local guys together, you're paying $35 a pop even during a sale.

I'm no expert, but I have Broken Arrow cards and they seem fine.

They are in the vendor sub forum.

Personally, I use Fournier and Bicycle Prestige (made by Fournier). I've also enjoyed using Broken Arrow, Desjgn, and Dal Negro.

 

[Tight_Lay_DOWN]

I must be one of the few exceptions.

Currently at 336 hours (minimum - link above) on the same setup and no problems, not one, the endurance test continues...

I guess - this just means - your milage may vary...

Fournier, Modiano alpha, Trefl, Angel, NTP

KEM. Just got a few decks, they’re like butter shuffling them. I like the Faded Spade designs better as they seem a little sharper, but KEM is just great quality all around.

Ya right, this makes me not want to never purchase these cards again. Same issue as above, used for house hold games and minimal use/shuffles.

For any members who want to purchase any. I won’t moving forward. They lost my loyalty.
