Why Modiano PA's (1 Viewer)

[MucksAlot888]

Is there a huge difference in Modianos such as the PA's over modiano's Texas poker cards... any experiences?

The poll and OP seem related, but only loosely. Not sure what you are asking?

The modianomPAs are the bomb!

Poll was another question I had on preference of style. 2 birds 1 stone kinda deal.

PAs are the top line of Modiano cards. As such, yes, there is a difference. The PAs are slightly different material than the normal Modiano card lines. More durable in terms of not taking a "bow". The easiest way to describe it is this: PAs offer the stiffness that comes with a brand new deck of paper cards, they just do it EVERY time you pull them out of the case.

Thank you sir ...

NP . . . that was actually how I convinced my best friend (a die-hard paper cards fan) that plastic IS better.

@Milo013 is an expert on playing cards. Because of him, I purchased a setup of Modiano PA cards and they are in excellent shape after a year of use. Some people don't like that the PAs don't come in bridge size, but I haven't found it to be an issue among my players

I was wondering why I was unable to find a bridge set of pa's

Huh.
Well I'm glad I read this. I was under the impression the there was little perceptible difference between with the PA's.
I prefer bridge, but most of my friends prefer poker, so I'll give them a shot.

I used to tell members to buy the PAs and, if unhappy with them, I would buy them. No one has ever tried to take me up on that.

I've used the PAs for years now and highly recommend them.

I've used both Modiano PAs and Texas Poker. PAs are by far better. I found that the suit colors on the Texas Poker tend to "chip" and by that I mean that you start to see white flecks in the suit markings after a few uses. PAs also just feel better shuffling and dealing. Worth the extra money IMHO.
