Even though I can't stand poker size cards, I may have to get Modianos new acetate cards. They are thinner and more flexible, which is a good thing for Modianos. If the new formulation makes them more durable, look out DN. I like Modiano's colors better too. |
I picked up a set-up of Modiano with the bike trophy design. They were bowed out of the box. I didn't bother to complain or return them. Haven't used them yet, so I don't know how prone they are to being damaged after play.
One set-up of copags that I had and used for nearly two years (signature elite) did not bow, but they did fade significantly. I played them on a cherry table without any felt/cloth surface, which probably did not help.
I have copag lone star as well as the full-bleed casinos. Haven't used either of them much so far though. Nice out of the box. Don't mind that they are flimsy.
I like my pre-USPC casino Kems in green and brown circleback design. A few people complain that the two colors are hard to tell apart.
