How many setups of quality cards do you have?

There are umpteen threads/polls about how many chips and chipsets folks have, but I've not yet seen one about quality plastic cards.

How many do you have? What brand? Which are your faves? Which are the faves of your fellow gamers?

Discuss please.

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

My Fournier's are my favorites by far. I have one 2500 setup and two setup's of the new Vision Poker Peek. I just love the feel of them.

My players like the Fournier's also, the Dal Negro's and Modiano's are too "slippery". Paper card loving freaks!!!!

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

Trident donated Fourniers to the Lone Star Roundup so I was able to check them out there. They are definitely sweet, but alas I don't yet own any.

I have bunches - too many actually. Mainly pre-USPC KEMs and various Modianos. My faves by far are my brown/green Hollywood Park pre-USPC KEM circlebacks. Honorable mention goes to the 4-color Modianos. Just wish they came in bridge width. I'm also really fond of Dal Negro Freedoms.

My home game regulars aren't too fond of the 4-color cards, complaining that the blue and green is hard to distinguish. They love the KEMs though.

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

I have a setup of Copag's, Dal Negro Freedom ( I think... Statues of Liberty on them?), and Fournier Poker Peeks.

I love the poker peeks, but no one likes playing with them for some reason.

The Dal Negros were my favs, before a card ended up chipped.. now I can only use them in small games where I don't have 2 decks going.

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

2 sets of Copag bridge ( Lone star and 1546 )
1 Dal Negro Net Acetate bridge
1 Dal Negro Net Acetate Plus poker
1 Dal Negro Freedom Star
3 Gemaco 5 Star bridge
2 Piatnik 2464 bridge
1 NTP Green/ Gold Bridge
2 Kem Arrow USPC
1 Modiano Bridge

I like the NTP the best. IMHO best feel and durability. Jumbo index works well on the big oval table. My crowd would play with paper cards and dice chips if it wasn't for me. I did just recieve the Net plus and Freedoms and they feel good out of the box. Will be put into play tomorrow night.

Oops.. I guess I voted wrong. I forgot I have 4 decks of Pre-USPC Kems too. 2 Hollywood park and 2 Foxwoods.

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

I love my Modiano Elements as well as the Poker Peeks (or whatever their official name is). I have some KEM and Copags, but I much prefer to play with the Modianos, as does my group.

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

I have a mish-mash collection of plastic setups that are comprised mainly of pre-USPC KEMs. I really like my Foxwoods circlebacks. I am quite fond of modianos too...especially the 4-colors. I haven't busted out the Dal Negro Acetates I won at the LSR in a game yet, but really like the feel of those so far.

My (current) favorite are my pre-USPC 4-PIP KEM paisleys:

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

Copag's.....even though I've been losing about 1 card (usually to a crease) every 3-6 tourney's. Kem's seem a bit too thin, although I may try try them to see if they hold up better. Everyone likes the "poker" size, jumbo index. Also thought about going back to regular index to see if that stops the creasing problem

Re: How many setups of quality cards do you have?

I have lots but I prefer Bridge sized, Jumbo Index and I don't car 2 vs 4 index.

I think I like my Fournier's the best too.
