My Euro cards bounty (Fournier/Grimaud) (2 Viewers)

[BadCardHaver]

Thanks to a friend in Europe, I was able to overpay acquire some tasty Fournier 2826 and Flor Di Lis in bridge jumbo, and some Fournier 2800 and Grimaud in poker size. Haven't unsealed them yet, but on first inspection they look great, and I have to say that the Fournier plastic box is light years ahead of the standard Copag/KEM etc box. It actually hinges and snaps shut instead of just sitting unsecured on top. What a concept.

I would like to thank the PCF community for making me buy more stuff I don't actually need. Well done.

Thanks!

Nope, those are standard index. All the Fournier are jumbo.

Thanks! Looking for Grimaud jumbo index is like looking for unobtanium. I have two set ups of the poker standard index.

Is the Grimaud 2 pips or 4 pips?

I don't know why the box shows them with 4 pips. They only have 2.

That's a relief, thanks for confirming. I had been curious as from the pictures I seen so far from Googling, they too show em with 4 pips on the tuck box.

I was worried about them being 4 pip. Fortunately, the site I bought them from has pics of actual cards. https://www.naipeszaca.com/en/34-poker-plastico-100

Very nice! Some day I'll have to try Grimaud, but since we prefer jumbo index, I'll have to wait until the unobtainium are found.

Yeah, I definitely prefer jumbo, but these were comparatively cheap compared to the Fournier's, so I just grabbed them while I had the chance.

 

[Cocalu]

Yes good thinking as they are difficult to get outside the EU.
Very nice haul by the way!

I am auctioning off one of the 2826 Flor De Lis setups, if anyone is interested - https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/fournier-2826-flor-de-lis-bridge-jumbo.109843/

I prefer Rosas and Mayas in regards to Fournier...

Those are nice looking as well! The vendor I bought from didn't have those at the time I bought them
