Copag bridge in all my games. I'd almost prefer Dal Negro bridge, but Stars only has them in poker size and I can't find a local source for the bridge size ones.

Does Modiano make a bridge size 4 color deck? That'd definitely be good for my games.

I have a stupid question ... May I ask your perception of "the advantages of plastic cards" ????

I personally favor paper cards such as Bees, Bicycles, Tally-Hos, Aviators, etc.

Sure plastic cards last longer....But, I find them either too slippery or too sticky.

In addition, since people tend to play with plastic cards for longer periods of time a marked deck will also tend to stay in play longer.

For security purposes, you should consider paper cards and change them frequently. At least each time you play.

If you're not on felt, don't use plastic cards. They'll get dirty way too quickly and become unusable.

Plastic cards are far easier and faster to shuffle and deal. If you find them too slippery to handle, you're not handling them properly. The marking isn't too much of a concern unless somebody is doing it deliberately.

Just got some 4 Colour Copags. Regular index, not the 4 Pip Jumbo ones ive seen.
Great Cards

I have Copags. The blue deck started bleeding blue ink on to the white faces of the cards. I contacted Copag, then sent them 3 defective cards with the guarantee card. They shipped me a brand new 2 deck set within 3 days.

I was impressed with the service. I also like the cards...can't really stand paper cards anymore.

Other than the backs, these Fourniers are probably the same:

I have this setup and really like them, but I still prefer KEM bridge size standard index over all.

Yes, vote for DN from me also. Best cards on the market right now. Fourniers are not bad at all either though.
