New Italian Plastic Playing Cards

Home poker tourney has a review up on a new plastic card that is repotedly very similiar to Dal Negro's.

Here's the favorable review:

I can NOT justify buying these cards as I currently have 5 set ups totaling 10 decks already...but of course those "Bike Trophy Style" cards look sweet and I've always wanted a four pipe deck so I'll bite. Looks like they don't come with a good case so now I'll need a card case (looking for leather or faux leather) for these and my Dal Negro Freedom's. This poker disease can be a bad thing

I'm so weak...I just ordered the Bike Trophy Style set up

I saw that too, and am interested in getting a deck or two to play with. I really like my Dal Negro's, and these seem to be on par with them.

Plus, I'm a sucker for a fat card, and these seem to be the thickest around. Wooo-hoo!

The more choices the better. Don't like it when market is dominanted by one company, eg MS.

Where are you guys seeing this Bike Trophy Set Up???

I am sort of lost on the cards part of poker---still playing with paper!!

I know...I know

I love the way the Bike Trophy cards look, so I ordered a set.

Got an email saying they are out of stock but expecting a shipment in the middle of next week. (I used the retailer link on the site with the review)

They seem like good honest people, many places wouldnt even notify you of that.

Yeah, I got copags from them right away, no problem.

BTW, they're saying copags are being used in the WSOP this year? Quite a coup for them, if true...

Just because of that, I'm not going this year

I seem to be in the minority, but I'm not a big fan of Copags. Just don't like the feel. I like Dal Negros and like the look of the Modianos. Pretty sure I'll buy a setup, and like Dal Negros, use them a couple times, like them, and then go back to Kem's.
