Tina cards mold or Tina Hybrids? (1 Viewer)

I am trying to determine the better choice. My concern are spinners and some ink bleed in the cards molds. I’ve heard good things about the hybrids, i.e. little to no spinners and better ink transfer. But they do have a sticker inlay. Not the end of the world. Thoughts?

If spinners are you main concern I’ve heard the hybrid is the way to go. I’ve read every page on TINA’s offerings. Ultimately I cancelled my order with them and purchased from BrPro but I can certainly understand the appeal from a price/customizable standpoint.

I have a set of aria cards mold and @Himewad 's hybrid sample. I think I will go with hybrid if i ever go full custom (unless you are going for faux shaped inlays which are better on cards mold)

I'm very biased, but 43mm textured no molds for me. I don't have to worry about their mold messing with my colors and can use the full face to design on, definitely worth the lil premium. Hybrids are cool too but I love the flat textured face instead of the sticker inlay. Some spinners but really negligible, I've found about 10 bad ones and I've got 2k + chips in two sets. Plus 2 of those bad ones are 50mm, much higher rate of it.

That sounds really interesting. I'll have to get some 43mm textured no mold samples.

That word textured does lots of work, textured makes them much more playable. The smooth ones are too smooth and dont stack as well, the textured dont have much visual difference but feel better.

Oh my, “textured”. Now I have more to consider. I’ve never played with 43mm, but am intrigued. I also like the idea of no sticker. I dunno if I’m being too much on the sticker. I have majestic cc and don’t mind the sticker inlay.

My players don't really play in casinos so they have barely felt 39mm. This gives more room for art plus they stack better for me.
