Re: Poker Cards
I've had mixed results with all brands.
If you're having problems with sliding, are you even using felt? If not, it doesn't matter what you get, the cards will be trash after not much use anyway.
One older set of KEM has lasted forever, is still relatively easy to handle, and has no marks. A newer set is mark-free, but is impossible to shuffle. My older Copags still shuffle and deal fairly well, but the ink fades and they seem easy to mark. I dig the Modiano 4-pip cards, but it's a lousy case and they got unmanagable in a hurry.
I recently got a new Copag and a new Del Negro setup. We'll see how they do. Out of the box, Copag is easier to shuffle, but both are nice so far.
My comments about marking are because I found a lot of fingernail indentations a couple of months back. Thankfully the culprits seem to have stopped or moved on, as more recent setups are clean (so far). I check much more often now, sadly.
