Re: Anyone Familiar w/Copag casino style cards?

I've got a couple of cases (12 setups / case) of the other backs that Copag uses / sells only to casinos.

They are made of the same material that the others are, just a different back.

Re: Anyone Familiar w/Copag casino style cards?

The cards are TCS John Huxley cards which were seized at customs when being imported. They were auctioned off.

There are currently 2000 decks floating around. All decks are bridge size, red or blue, and standard index. We will never see these cards on the market when the decks are gone unless TCS decides to sell to the public.

Re: Anyone Familiar w/Copag casino style cards?

Like Quads said, these cards are basically the same as other Copags, just with a different desing on the back?

Quads was reffering to other copag Casino cards. I am not that familiar with the difference, but I believe there is a difference between the Copag Casino cards and their standard home cards. I am sure someone will be around soon with the differences.

Re: Anyone Familiar w/Copag casino style cards?

I hate my Copag's, they keep creasing, during just regular play. I bought a case of the export style, jumbo face, poker size. I now only use Kem's and for the first time last week Modiano's. I like the Modiano's so far, they are a lot stiffer than the Kem's, but not bad cards, the first night using two decks on each table of a two table tourney. I would have lost 3 or 4 cards using the Copag's and have now created 4 bad decks out of my 24 decks to use for replacements.

The Caragails link says they come in both Poker and Birdge size. Can anyone confirm that they are in fact available in Poker size? If so I may have to pick some up.

They do come in bridge. I ordered mine so early that all of the pallets hadn't been opened yet. The company who has these thought they were only bridge.

I will have them in poker early this week.

Sorry for the confusion everyone!

Re: Anyone Familiar w/Copag casino style cards?

I picked up a set up and they arrived today. A big thumbs up. I'm not a fan of the full bleed back, but these Copags do not feel like other Copags that I've handled.

The feel is like the KEM pre-USPC green/brown circleback set up that I purchased in the group buy. These cards are flimsy and shuffle easily.

Go ahead and pick up a deck if you like cards with that kind of feel.
