Unusual question about playing cards. (1 Viewer)

Mods please move if this is in the wrong place.

Anyone know where I can get ahold of regular playing cards that are just paper and NOT plastic coated?

Long winded explanation if anyone cares -

I have a river jackpot game in my monthly tournament, players can purchase a card out of a deck for a dollar and if that card matches the river of the last hand of the tournament, they win the pool.

I like to date stamp each card that is purchased, because it's cool and also theoretically if more than one person tried to claim it (unlikely for such a small sum) we would have the stamp to tell us which card was legit.

I stamped cards last month, and since they were plastic coated the date stamp smeared on everyone's card. I really need to find super cheap cards that are literally plain paper stock with no plastic coating so a stamp can dry on them.

Not sure about uncoated card sourcing, but something like a Staz On ink pad (or hot branding) might not smudge.

maybe go check out the dollar store???? Cheapest card you could buy at walmarrt

Great idea. The cheaper the cards the better, I would think, for getting something semi-porous.

Use a sharpie.

Yes, any paper card will do

Use a sharpie.

But a sharpie's not cool like a stamp with the date and my game's logo on it! Besides, eventually yes a sharpie will dry, but it's just as likely to smear for awhile after signing the card.

I think I'm going to give the Staz On ink a try, I'm also going to check out the dollar store for sure.

Dolor store, I have purchased a bunch of casino used decks at the Dolor store for my fundraiser tournament, so I can throw them away...

Oh , and they are only a $1, In case you are wondering....

Edit, I think these cards are coated...My bad.

Got a thrift store near you? The ones around here are always stocked with tons of garbage cards for cheap.
