Play in a home game that uses these cards. Host wants to go for another bulk purchase. Any of you a good source for this (or know of one?).

Thanks.

Costco?

Actually I think he bought at Costco before, but I think they don't always have them in stock. Besides I wanted a pricepoint for a good online vendor. Like you, I suspect Costco may beat online + shipping charges.

He doesn't do internet, and many of his players don't like the Copag cards I gave him to try. So I decided to post here and see what I got ...

THanks.

Why don't you just purchase good quality cards? I'm sure you'd save money in the long run. What type of damage is usually done to the cheapies?

I bet with one more game, they would change their mind. They don't like them because they're different, and people fear that. They are a thousand times better though, and last a ton longer. If I were him, I would make them play with Copags.

This point was absolutely worthless as far as this thread goes though, so sorry about that. Good luck with your search!

I would pick up the Dal Negro Freedoms and tell the group that these cards are made of a new paper material...after a few games they'll fall in love with them and he can break the news to them that have been playing with the dreaded plastic cards.

Other than that try Sams Club as I hear they carry 12 decks for $13 or so dollars.

Does it have to Bicycle?

You can get decks of Trademark cards for .69 each, or a case of 100 decks of empirepoker cards for $45 here
https://www.discountcasinogear.com/s...ategory33.html

or go to your local dollar store and get 2 decks for a dollar i think the brand is "made in China" LOL.

Personally I would play with Royals before I would go back to paper cards.

Maybe the players would like Kem better they are stiffer and not as slick as copag.
