Scored some Austrian cards (1 Viewer)

[slisk250]

Was wandering around Innsbruck and found a store in old town that had quite a selection of cards. The Copags and Bikes were a bit expensive but these sets of brown and green backed Austrian made plastic cards will do just fine. The shopkeeper mentioned they were washable and "whiskey proof"...sold!!! Oh yeah...almost forgot about the fine Austrian prosciutto to smuggle into Saudi with the cards.

I have a setup of blue and red bridge sized Piatniks. They used to be readily available in the USA. They are very nice cards.

First, bringing in chips, now bringing meat from an animal with a cloven hoof? You sir, know how to live - dangerously!

Need any Zombie cards? I think I saw some Bicycle ones there and could find them in the morning.

These? Got'em. Thanks though!

They had two decks I saw that were different from this cover in the window tonight but they were closed. I'm going back to buy some more of the Austrian decks in the morning. Not sure if you need more than one Zombie deck.

These plus another one I cannot find an image.

You have managed to find yourself an EXCELLENT set up of cards. Hope your other activities do not get you into trouble over there.

Fair point, seeing as how the Zombie deck (paper cards) never enter into play. I use Copags, with Bicycle Prestige and Fourniers waiting in the wings. Once you've used plastic, the paper cards just don't seem right...
