Was going to post that with your lengthy exclusion list, it would be easier to post the likely smaller list of what you're actually looking for.

There are a couple of obscure brands available on Amazon Japan... Becosim, Hanayama, etc.

Also, there's Vanda. Not quite jumbo but seems larger than standard index.

I’m not sure what else is out there so that’s why I went the exclusion method.

I added some thoughts in post 4.

I guess I should have clarified that I’m looking for set-ups so the aces won’t work unfortunately.
 
I am waiting for Grimaud with French pips. They on the way. I shoot you a pm when they arrive
 
Royal and Marion Pro are from the same manufacturer, but are nothing alike. The Marion Pro cards are decent cards. Royals are horrible.

I have Four52 in standard index, but sold my jumbos to another host in our league. He still uses them regularly. I'll see if I have anything not on the list, but I don't think I do.

Appreciate the search. I know four52 is out of business so probably not happening.

I was going to go with the Marion’s if I bought a set up from Kuo Kao

Maybe check these out (I know nothing about them, can't even tell if they're paper or plastic, a colleague forwarded me a link yesterday):

These definitely look like paper. Most of these cardistry decks are.

They are. They are cheap enough to buy to see if you like the feel to want to hunt down an unopened setup. Trust me they are nothing like you have ever felt before . Its worth it just for the case IMO.

Congress is another brand that comes to mind that you havent listed that might be worth looking for.

I guess I’m confused. So Congress playing cards are different than Fournier made for Congress?
Why should we think those Congress cards on Kardwell are plastic? Because I’d guess they’re not.
 
Globalization I guess....
Cartamundi owns most brands so they do trial rounds for them. Trend is that production being done in Spain in Fournier factory. Fournier for Congress is older run, Bicycle Prestige few years ago and Copag most recently. It speaks well about Fournier quality and know how.

I clicked on plastic cards and they gave me them as an option.

a little more digging

"The set includes 2 decks of Bridge size cards with a Cel-U-Tone finish."

Cel-U-Tone finish probably means a plastic coat rather than a true plastic card
