Copag Cards
Purchased from: www.5stardeal.com
Price Paid: About $7/Pack

These were my first plastic cards, and I can't stress how much better they are than plastic. I've been very happy with them, and would strongly recommend that if you want to enhance your home game, you pick up a pack of plastics (Copags happened to be some of the cheapest I could find at the time).

Pros:
· Feel: When dealing a shuffling, they kinda of just flow or glide where you want them. They are somewhat slick if not playing on felt, but this isn't a huge issue.
· Card Graphics: Everything is clear; I wound up with some jumbo index cards and things are clearly visible to everyone at the table. >>
· Toughness: These cards are the Volvos of playing cards. You can't hurt them. I don't worry anymore when people have a couple of drinks and get a little wild because unless they try and light them on fire, they can't really hurt them.


Cons:
· Price: They are expensive if you are used to paper; however others have pointed out if you have to buy paper decks for each new game, and play with any frequency, these actually save you money. >>
· Joker: For some reason part of Copags Jokers are faded. I don't know why, and it's not a big issue, however everyone I’ve seen is like this and it's just kinda odd.
