My current card options (1 Viewer)

[jpike16]

Favorite is probably either DaVinci or Desjgn
Least favorite is easily Kem due to warping issues. Followed by Gemaco due to the slickness of the cards.
Still undecided on Faded Spade ( very stiff).
The unbranded Texas Holdem decks are surprisingly decent.

Heard good things about unbranded, but had just bought some copags so going to wait and enjoy my new decks before moving to them. Faded Spades have got me curious.

The rabbit hole is deep

 

[BamaT8ter]

Yeah. I think I'm up to nearly 30 set ups at this point. And more on the way.

 

[surfik]

You do know that DaVinci is just rebranded Modiano?

They look sharp...

DesJgn is awesome. They are easy to shuffle, have some texture to them, so they don't slide into another time zone, and have a decent design on the back. I have four decks in my Apache 4800 case with my tournament set. I'm going to buy another four decks to go in a second Apache 4800 case for my cash game set.

I have a few options…

 

[LeLe]

The addiction is real. And I felt like I not even halfway done yet

First 2 row are standard index, 3 - 7th row is jumbo index

These are my current rotation for poker

Lemme buy one of those Faded Spades off you? Haven't felt one but heard they're stiff and want to try a setup.

Uhhh… when do the red and blue statesman decks go on sale??

They were my very first order.
They’re poker size. .35mm, so a little thicker.
I got a shit ton of them here. Happy to sell some.
They weren’t perfect however.

Ohh, I see. I’m allergic to poker size so I cannot help! Sorry. Looking forward to the next bridge run though

Cartamundi casino stock from Belgium

 

[CUORE3]

My "last" goal is to get a Desjgn Baroque or Casino setup

 

[JMC9389]

Cartamundi casino stock from Belgium

Favorite setup from all those?

See above. But it really depends day by day for me. Most days its the Cartamundi Belgium casino stock. Some days it's the old Desjgn stock. Some days I really appreciate the matte finish on the faces of the Kings. Others it's sometimes really difficult to knock the consistency of the Fourniers. Other days the uniqueness of the Piatnik fonts tickles me.

Lemme buy one of those Faded Spades off you? Haven't felt one but heard they're stiff and want to try a setup.

The V3's? Sorry bud, I only have one setup left that I'm keeping. I sold off the rest that I bought. The V2's I'm not going to let go of. Those are the best of the Faded Spade offerings thus far.

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

Super fair. Enjoy them, Ill eventually buckle n buy them lol.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

It is an addiction.

I sold about 1/3 of my collection. The duplicate decks are not shown. Will probably add on, though....still want more Fourniers.

Some will get sold, though. Combinations of burgundy, green, and brown are difficult to tell apart.

 

[surfik]

But among all addictions it's one of the best....

Is here anyone who owns Bicycle Prestige or Copags or other Cartamundi own brands that have been produced in Spain in Heraclio Fournier factory?
Any thoughts on stock they been printed on?

I have the Bicycle Prestige which indicate "Cards manufactured in Spain", so I'm assuming they are Fournier-made. I find it similar to my other Fournier poker-sized cards, and is one of my favourites. I can't speak to Copag or Cartamundi cards made there.

Top Left Modiano's - Golden Trophy & Texas Poker
Top Right Various 2818 Fournier's (Asian PT, Pokerroom.com, Unbranded Casino, Totalbet, Pokerstars)
Centre Right Aristo Club (Hard Rock Casino, Isle Casino)
Bottom Left Various Copag's - Pokerstars, Standard Store Stock, Genting/Stanley Casino, London Clubs International
Bottom Right Bridge Size Selection - KEM Arrow, Angel (Japan), ARIA Resorts (Paper), Copag UKIPT

As you can see the Fournier's are my firm favourite. Aristo Club is close second. Modiano's I find are too thick. Copags I find are poor quality and fleck/fade easily but considerably cheaper usually than Fournier. KEM are lovely cards but I find them horrendously expensive and prohibitively high maintenance - if I cant throw a rubber band round them and throw them in a tub/drawer after a game I don't believe they are worth bothering with.

Most impressive...

Lot of crisp looking options in these photos. Do people not really like using decommissioned casino decks? I got a bunch of those super cheap off eBay a decade ago.
