Re: Anyone Heard of "Aristo Club" Plastic Playing Cards?

So I received my 2 decks of Yellow Hard Rock cards from overseas today. Crazy fast shipping. The Shipping cost more than the cards but still the two decks cost me $10.50US total. This was a gamble in my opinion but it really paid off. These cards are friggin' sweet. I went back to eBay and bought another two sets from the guy.

Anyway the cards are in fact Plastic playing cards. I have only had them for about a day but think that this is one of the better buys for the price out there.

The cards are made in Japan but they feel very much like Modanio's. They are much firmer than Copag but less firm than Piatnik, which puts them in the Modanio area imo. The cards a little bit thinner as well. When set sid by side with the Piatnik you can take 6 cards off the Piatnik deck to get to the same height stacked as the Aristo cards. This is neither good or bad IMO, just different. The card faces also resemble Modiano's. The pips are on a beige field inside the white outter area (see the 10 in the pic below). The Face cards are pretty standard and the Jokers are not too shabby either. The artwork on the back of the cards can't be beat if you are a fan of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

The only thing that bugs me is that they come in a cheap paper case, so I am going to have to buy something to put them in. The cards are first quality and haven't been cancelled in any way.

All things considered these cards are a steal at $10 per setup shipped.

If you buy from the seller on eBay be sure to click on one of his "2 for 1" auctions for your best value. Those generally are the Yellow and Orange colors but I can vouch for the Yellows at least. They are AWESOME.

Pics below.

Side by Side with Piatnik. These are both Poker width cards. As you can tell from the Ace they are Jumbo index.


Here are the face cards and the Jokers.


And finally the extra useless cards. I included these because of the "2004" calandar and the "fine print" on the other card that made me laugh.



Anyway, I will get a more formal review going but if anyone is in the market for some quality cards, give these a shot.

If you are interested they can be found here: eBay Seller: internetoasis: Casino, Bath Body items on eBay.com
