Copag 1546 Design 100% Plastic Playing Cards, Poker Size (Standard) Black/Gold (Regular Index, 1 Set)

It has been said that you can judge quality by the weight when compared to other items...well these are the heaviest cards I have found and they are good!These are not your grandparents cards. They are made of plastic where lesser ones are plastic coated.I have done a few tests on these and found that if you shuffle like a river boat gambler, they won't last.They will last longer than the other types but remember, they are plastic and will develop stress fractures where shuffled.So, I have also tried using a manual card shuffler and there are a few advantages to why I recommend this option. First the cards don't get all broken from shuffling and they don't get dirty from over handling.These cards have a slick satiny feel and good graphics/color selection.

The Copag 1546 Design 100% Plastic Playing Cards are a durable and high-quality option for poker enthusiasts. Made from PVC plastic, they offer excellent flexibility and resistance to wear, making them long-lasting

They look and feel great. I will be getting a few more sets, in different colors.

100% worth the price and more!!The cards shuffle like a DREAM out of the box no need to break them in at all, beautiful design on the back. All of that and they are waterproof, these will always be my go to for card games.

Not bad after all.

I've been playing cards for many years and decided to switch from Bicycles and Bees to cellulose acetate plastic; ie: KEM and COPAG. I purchased one set each of KEM arrows and COPAGs; both are poker (regular) size. I received the cards a few weeks ago and have had some time to play with my poker group and gauge opinions. Interestingly, our group voted 50/50 KEM vs COPAG. What I can offer is specific differences between the cards which you may find helpful. I've also included the specs of a Bicycle deck for comparison.KEM.014" card thickness.700" deck thickness, w/o jokers2.5"W x 3.5"L deck dimensions8.75" surface areaCOPAG.012" card thickness.625" deck thickness, w/o jokers2.483"W x 3.465"L deck dimensions8.604" surface areaBICYCLE.011" card thickness.580" deck thickness, w/o jokers2.48"W x 3.475"L deck dimensions8.618" surface areaAs you can see, the KEM deck is almost 12% thicker and 1.7% larger surface area than the COPAG deck, and 21% thicker and 1.6% larger surface area than a Bicycle deck. 21% thicker than a Bicycle deck is a big deal if you're a smaller-handed dealer!Here are my personal thoughts;The COPAG's feel slightly better when shuffling as the deck is slightly smaller, less weight and easier to handle for short fingers (like mine). The KEM's numbering is smaller and much less blocky, and appear more like a traditional deck. The COPAG's have larger (not Jumbo) lettering which is blocky. Both decks have visually pleasing and symmetrical backing designs. Both slide easily on felt and are very easy to riffle/shuffle. The COPAG's have an attractive blue border around each face card picture, unlike the KEM's black border. However, the red ink used on the KEM's hearts and diamonds appear darker and a little higher quality than the COPAG's. My cut cards more than fit the bottom of my COPAG deck. The opposite is true of the KEM deck, as the cut card is just a hair smaller than the deck. Also, the COPAG's will fit inside any paper deck box, like Bicycle or Bee. The KEM's will definitely NOT fit in a standard deck box.If you're switching from a paper plastic-coat deck like Bicycles, Bees or Motors, you'll find the most physical similarities with the COPAG deck. Alternatively, you'll find the most visual similarities with the KEM deck. The KEM deck has a well-known image on the ace of spades and is probably the most recognizable deck around (ie; Rounders).Cost wise, I spent a few dollars more on my KEMs than I did the COPAGs. If I were to choose only one based on price, feel and aesthetics, I'd probably go for the COPAG deck.Oh, I asked my wife which she liked better (as an uninformed observer) and she couldn't really tell the difference between the KEM and COPAG decks. She did like the feel compared to a paper deck though. Then she beat my flopped straight by sucking out on the river with a low flush (I love you dear).Bottom line, choose either one and you'll be super happy you upgraded from the popular paper brands. I hope this helps in your decision!

love it

Straight from the box, these cards feel amazing! Shuffles great and are slick. I'll update after I've used them for a while
