Looking for Plastic non-standard faces.... (1 Viewer)

[TriLam]

I have been searching for decks of cards with non-standard (but classy) faces/artwork and am coming up pretty empty. I know about the Faded Spades (which I may try) but cant find much else. The Desjgn cards are too "standard" for what I am after. Could be modern or vintage looking, but want a plastic deck thatt can withstand our games. I see some paper options, but not plastic. To give you an idea of something I would be interested in...

Maybe something like these? https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01F6EGI7S

Though they only come with a blue/black back.

Exactly...thank you

PartyPoker cards made by Modiano had weird looks on the faces of the Royalty.

Green Party Poker by Cartamundi (they lose paint on the back quite fast)
Grimaud VDR jumbo (if you like a bit of baccarat flavor)
Desjgn
Faded Spade (despite critical opinions on stiffness and durability issues the face cards design are awesome )

What card is this that Queens is A ? Whereas Jacks is B ?

This is Cyrillic alphabet... It's not A but D for Dama (Dame), B on the Jack is W for Walet (Valet)
Ace is T (Tuz)
This is Russian variation of French face cards

Hope you enjoy your new purchase and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them!

No, they're crappy paper stock!

Modiano or Cartamundi?

I was going to just write "Modiano", but figured I'd check. I have no idea. It is written nowhere on the pack or the Ace of Spades.

It is burned into my brain as correct, however. Some searching tomorrow, I think.

I bought these over ten years ago from @warewulf , I think. Always thought they were Modiano. Now, I'm going with Fournier.

Can you show the back. I had identical looking deck (meaning Ace of Spades) but made by Cartamundi.
Definitely not Fournier quality.
Possible Partypoker order few runs with different producers.

Ugly backs:

I'm not a card aficionado, but these are great feeling cards. They do seem to wear down a little more quickly than Gemacos.

 

[surfik]

I am pretty sure that's the same I had.
Despite low quality I like indexes on them. Not a jumbo but much bigger than standard.

Yup. I love the faces, but the backs really are a little lacking in the design department.

You mentioned Faded Spade. Yes they look semi-cool, but they are prone to chipping in the long run. Also if you find a defective card, you have to play 20 questions to get a replacement. Not a fan.

recently found these while browsing Armenian goods. I would suspect they wouldn't be great to play with, but they look pretty cool imo.
I'll probably pick up a deck. Gotta represent!
