Stock Copag preferences

Here's where we get to the meat & potatoes of the group buy.
I hope to supply a range of styles which will suit every interested party.
Here's a handy guide:

...........Export............ 1546 green/burgundy ............. master ............. 1546 red/blue.....

I'm not going to bother with any of the artsy cards, and the casino backs are unfortunately off-limits.

These are not intended to be collectible, they are intended to be consumable. If you'd rather have a limited edition WSOP deck, you'll have to wait for the next, more expensive group buy.
Minimum buy will be 2 setups, but you should really buy more.

Now go crazy, you chip nuts!
I'm going to close it down at 288 setups for maximum speed.
I should be able to supply any of the above choices which are popular.
(I must order a minimum of 12 of any variety.)

I'm pretty sure that if you want green and burgandy, your choices are either bridge size w/ regular index or poker size w/super index. Bridge size w/ super index is not an option in those colors. (Which stinks since I'd really want poker size with reg idex!)

Real general, poker size is wider than bridge size. (Maybe 1/4" wider, don't quote me). I've played with both and I prefer bridge size as they're slimmer and easier to shuffle and handle. Regular index is normal sized numbers,etc and super index is larger text and numbers (helps in stud games and those that don't have 20/20 vision). HTH

not quite sure whether we are supposed to pm list what we want or just vote, but just in case i voted, and would be up for at least 2 setups depending on price.

preferences are bridge size and regular index in whatever back we can get that in.

ThorCavalier · #14 (**permalink**) 08-09-2005, 02:15 PM

As long as green/burgandy poker size super index will be an option, I will absolutely be in for one setup. Depending on the price, I may be in for 2 or even 3 setups.

thanx monty for the clarification....

im assuming they use bridge size at the casino, coz those are a tad bit smaller....than normal paper decks....

i own about 3-4 decks of cards from hawaiian gardens casino and they are the smaller one and i like them.....
my kems are about the same size as those...

thanx for the help,
d.

That's because that setup isn't produced. Red/blue come in either Poker sized reg index or bridge size super index. The green/burgandy setups are the reverse. It would be nice if they made all options available!

Daniel · #18 (**permalink**) 08-09-2005, 04:00 PM

Oh yea, if the setups are about $10.-, then i would easily be in for 4 setups.....

Thank you,
Daniel

as for the types, i'll ahve to do a bit more research, but im more flexible and willing to try each one (moreso than most)...

put me down for 2-set-ups poker size reg index red/blue
2-set-ups poker size super index green/burgandy

A "setup" is two decks in a box. The colors will be different, but the pattern will be the same.

Poker size decks are 2.50" x 3.50".
Bridge size decks are 2.25" x 3.50".

I am hoping that I can get the shipped cost down to around $10 per setup. You will save on shipping by ordering larger amounts, of course.

I'm getting prices on packaging (it's not very cheap) and arranging a shipping cost table soon. I'll use USPS.

The strength/weight ratio of a Copag box will require a cardboard carton with fill.

I am limiting this buy to the standard styles listed in the poll, unless you want 12 or more setups of another kind. I now know that a 9th style, the 1546 green/burgundy poker regular index is available. I was previously unaware of it. (I'm going to get some for myself, for sure) The EPOC cards are a different price and I don't think I can get them anyway. (besides, they would be terrible in a game!) The picture back cards are all jumbo bridge sets, and they look bogus.

I will receive the order 2-3 weeks after I place it.

I am looking at a base cost of $8.00 per bridge sized setup, and $8.25 per poker sized setup. My shipping will be added, and the shipping and packaging costs for your orders will be added on top. It will get to $10 pretty quickly. (If you live in the Cleveland area, feel free to pick them up and save on shipping.)

Please contact me via the email button. I will take orders via email.
I'm still working out the payment methods. PayPal will likely be favored.

One more thing: I'm going away this weekend. Yes, to Vegas. I'll be incommunicado from Friday through Monday.

Now fire away with any more questions or suggestions!
