Need to buy new cards for our home game (1 Viewer)

[Marmacette]

Hi !
We are a group of 10 friends playing a home game every two or three weeks and it is now time to buy some new cards. We used to buy Copag cards but we are not 100% satisfied in them so we want to try something new. We do not want to buy a 45$ deck also, but do not want cheap cards either.
We are based in Canada... so we'd like to buy from a Canadian vendor ideally in order to save on shipping...

I found these from a Canadian vendor... are these cards good ?

Modianos are good cards, more stiff than Copacs and less slippery.

Jumbo > standard though

I love modianos. Prefer bridge size jumbo pips

Those are good, but with the standard index, it could be difficult to distinguish between clubs and spades across an oval imo. I own the Modiano Platinum in std index, and don't use them for this reason. If you are near Ottawa, let me know and you can check out a few options.

That said, the price at that vendor is pretty darn good if you are doing the bulk purchase.

Yeah I like Modianos better than Copags. Cards are very subjective though - different people like different things. Comparing the two, modianos are a bit more substantial than copags, but at the same time they’re a bit flexier than copags because they’re made of a different material. And the modianos have a nice textured finish as well.

Try KEM

Pulled up to an estate sale yesterday. The guy proceeds to ask me if I am looking for something specific. I asked him if he had anything related to poker. He pulled out a box of his dad’s playing cards. He knew what the cards were, so not a home run deal, but it averaged out to about 4 bucks a pack for brand new Modiano's.....as I am pulling away from the sale, I could not help but wonder what type of chips this person may have had.......

Picked up Desjgn from @T_Chan like them very much. We also like the Faded Spade, although some found them too slippery; they have a new version out.

I've seen these but shipping costs are a killer...

If you're buying more than 1 set, then we can do flat rate boxes which really help reduce shipping costs within Canada.

These are really good, and being an Amazon Prime item usually means stock is plentiful.

Check if this vendor provides Modiano Platinium... You will thank me later...

It's a good deal for US residents. it's not as great for Canadians, though. There is no prime option for Canadian residents, and $34 USD shipped to Canada for 2 decks isn't great given our current exchange rate (works out to just over $44 Cdn).

There are no Canadian resellers for Bullet cards, which is unfortunate, as they are quite nice.

I really like the those Modiano Club cards. We have used them a lot. I have since switched to Kem though but will go back to the Modiano if I get any warping issues with Kem.

Hi !
We are a group of 10 friends playing a home game every two or three weeks and it is now time to buy some new cards. We used to buy Copag cards but we are not 100% satisfied in them so we want to try something new. We do not want to buy a 45$ deck also, but do not want cheap cards either.

Not all modiano cards are the same. You want acetate plastic cards - they hold up the best. Only the modiano platinum series are acetate plastic. The ones in the picture are not, and are more like copaq cards - which are more flimsy and don’t hold up near as well. I believe kem cards are acetate plastic as well. for me it’s Modiano platinum series all day long.

I would need two sets... what would be the shipping cost because on your website, it gives me $26.95cdn. Thanks

I bought the package of those with 12 set ups. Really nice cards. I am partial to Modiano cards, they are thicker and more textured than Copags. The main difference is the packaging when comparing the beige/green cards to the black package 100%plastic. Otherwise great cards. They should last for 3 to 4+ game nights depending on the group and playing surface.

I also bought some of the 4 pip cards with motorcycles on them as I really liked that deck set up as one of my original buys back in the day....those cards easily saw 20 games, unfortunately even a cleaning in my ultrasonic didnt clean off the funk to make them easier to shuffle....still they were well worth the $. I was not kind to them they played on felt covered plywood, kitchen tables and regular poker tables. Poor quality surfaces will scratch your cards on the face side.

A small flat rate box is$18.49 fits up to 4 sets. That's probably the cheapest option.

We don't do a ton of small sales on our website, so the shipping prices are based on weight and not always accurate.
