I fell down a full bleed back rabbit hole; I just really like the look. I recently bought a setup of copag exports, so I’ll compare these Trefls to them.
The Trefls come in tuck boxes, sealed outside and inside the box. The full bleed backs are beautiful with deep colors - much more impressive than the Copags when viewed side by side.
These are poker jumbos with all white faces (no yellow boxing) and they’re VERY white - noticeably whiter than the copags.
The Trefls have a nice grainy texture front and back which you can hear. More noticeable than the mild texture of the copags. And maybe as a result, the Trefls have very little top card float - much less than the copags.
The stock is thicker and stiffer. 52 Trefls stack about 3 cards higher than 52 copags. They’re on the stiffer side - tough to say for sure, but dix rated them a 13, which is pretty stiff. I wouldnt argue with that except to say I find them manageable and would have guessed they were a 14 or a 15.
The corners are more square than most. Not sure if the corners are why, but there is a bit of resistance when gathering the cards up from a wash. Not enough that it causes trouble or slows you down, just enough that you notice.
They pitch great and shuffle great.
Oh and one strange thing I noticed was that one joker is red and one is blue - aren’t they usually red and black?
And they don’t smell like the copag exports. I’m not sure if all copags smell as much as the exports, but the export’s plastic smell out of the box was overwhelming. It faded but is still noticeable after they’ve been sitting out for 2 weeks. The Trefls barely have a sniff.
Although they’re stiffer than I prefer, I still like them because they’re beautiful and very manageable. They’re keepers.
