Just wondering which brands of cards people have had issues concerning poor durability. I have purchased and used plastic cards from the 5 following manufacturers: Copag, Dal Negro, Fournier, KEM, and Modiano. Below is a summary of durability issues I've come across with each brand. (All cards were Poker size Jumbo index if that matters)
COPAG: Cracked corner. Warped (Wavy) deck. Blue ink bleeding from washing.
DAL NEGRO: Massive face color wear, and some minor color wear on the back side as well. Chunks of dirt can see seen on every card, need constant wiping.
FOURNIER: Broken off corner.
KEM: Broken off corner.
MODIANO: Crack from edge to middle. Bowed deck. Creases more easily than the others. Face color wear.
The cracks and broken corners only happened once for those affected, and since it hasn't happened recently it is not much of any issue for me. I've been using Modiano's the most as my friends/players perfer the feel of those. However, they just don't last that long before showing issues. I've been considering buying Desjgn brand cards, as they look nice, but I don't know if they will have issues like the others. Let me hear your experiences.
