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.)

Could anyone comment on this? It would be good to discuss before ordering.

Personally I think it's the opposite. My first set of plastic cards were KEM bridge and I sold them because I thought they were too flimsy.
The Copags are slick at first, but not flimsy. After one night of use they are broken in; not too flimsy and not too slick..
I never thought I would go back to bridge size, but Copags changed my mind..

I currently have bridge size and I don't think they are flimsy at all. Of course my plastic card knowledge is not that extensive.

I've only really used poker sized cards (Bicycles), but I'm planning to pick up both poker and bridge sized Copags in this GB - I'm open to trying them at least

[Murf]

I have poker sized Copags now, and I love them. I'm not too sure I'd love bridge size, but I may pick up a deck just so I can get the Exports in SI. Pricing is still around $10 and change shipped, right?

[Coleman]

That's my goal, but I'll know more very soon!
Packaging costs and shipping will not be cheap.

Bridge size copags are a hit at my tourneys. Not to be favored over Kems, but still extremely well liked.
Only knock on them is that that top 3-4 cards slide off the top of the deck when its placed on the table, same thing happens with Gemaco cards.

[seymour]

Try to find out about shipping to Canada at least, too?

I'm sure there are enough of us up here that want to get in on the GB, so I think it'd be worth checking out.

I can't wait for this to go ahead!

[Coleman]

I've done some shipping to Canada, and it is my opinion that the freight will be so high that you'll realize no discount whatsoever!
It's not cheap to be in the mail order business.

Coleman, Our weekly group has been playing with Copag bridge 1546's for over 6 months. Prior to that we played with bridge size Kems for the past 6 years plus. I do not think the flimsiness of the cards is an issue. Like others have stated, the top cards do tend to want to slide off the deck. But we spread the cards after dealing so this is not a major issue. The players all like these cards. The feel is somewhat different than the Kems. Kems are smoother and the Copags have a texture feel to them. If the Kems and Copags were the same price, which the aren't, I would buy the Copags for one main reason. Kems warp or cup over time. We have not experienced this at all with the Copags. Am looking forward to buying several setups when U start the group buy. Think they will be nice gifts for people as well. Will be in Cleveland area this fall. Could I pay for them when U request payment and then pick them up at your store at a later date to save the shipping costs? May pick up a few smokes as well.

I just wanna double check...

the bridge size is actually smaller than the poker size? am i correct?
