Copag1546 Design 100% Plastic Playing Cards, Poker Size (Standard) Red/Blue (Jumbo Index, 1 Set)

These Copags are nice plastic playing cards. They are thinner than Kem plastic cards but still seem thick enough not to feel flimsy. They are quite possibly slicker than Kem cards, lacking the pebbled surface that Kem cards have. The slickness is good and bad: the cards slide together very easily when shuffled but require more attention when handled to keep them from sliding apart. These cards are solid plastic that should wear for a very long time. The colors are bright and saturated enough to provide good contrast. They come in a covered plastic case which will help keep them together and protect them from environmental factors that could damage or diminish them. The only real negative is their initial odor. The cards are off-gassing some organic volatile that has a strong but not unpleasant aroma. I'm pretty sure it will diminish over time, but it will have to be endured until then. Overall at less than one third the price of Kem cards, the Copags are good enough and, once you're used to plastic cards, provide years of constant use.

Very attractive, Really well made and the same brand the casino near me uses.At this price point why buy anything else? A real value.Easy to shuffle, easy to deal, and a spilled drink wipes right off without ruining your game or your cards.

Very nice, durable and flexible and even washable. My only complaints are the really strong smell ot has out of the box and that my box came a bit warped, but they play really nice.

I have played with these cards for years but until now I haven't owned a deck of my own. I play poker at several different places that use these cards. They last a very long time. They are made of plastic instead of coated paper. They can get damaged but it is not very common. They do break occasionally if someone abuses them. (normally throwing them) They almost have to be abused to break them or bend them so they are 'marked'.I have played at places that use the same deck every week for a year or even several years. If you do damage a card, you can order a single replacement card from Copag. (free shipping)You do have to get used to how slippery the cards are. They are plastic so when you go to offer a cut, it is a bit easier for the cards to slide off the pile. That is really the only downside to Copags.Dealing is great. They glide across the felt. Shuffling is nice too. The Jumbo index cards are my favorite. Everything is big and easy to read. (especially for people who do not see as well) I see no reason to get the regular index cards. There are two sizes though, poker and bridge. The bridge cards are narrower. (I like the poker-sized cards but either will work for poker) The narrower cards are better for the game of bridge I guess.I have seen a coated paper deck last up to 3 or 4 nights. I have seen these decks last years if not abused. You can spill beer or pop right on them and wipe them off. (rinse them off first if you like)Instead of buying a replacement card for over a dollar, I will probably buy another set of decks. That way unless the same card is damaged, I will have 51 spares. I would consider buying a single card if the same card was damaged twice. For now, I'm not going to worry about it. They should last a long time. It is good to keep track of the exact model deck that you buy in case you need to buy replacement cards. Stick with Red/Blue or Gold/Black to make it easier. (I prefer Red/Blue)

Very strong smell once unwrapped. Plan on leaving them out so they can air out before using them. Otherwise, wonderful cards.

Great cards. Index size is well seen across the table. Good quality. Will continue to buy copag cards.

easy to mix. Nice and flat in case. Clean looking

I have 4 sets of Copag cards and they've held up really well. But twice now, we have been able to replace a single damaged card from one of the 8 decks and they've done so for free. You fill out a form and a few days later, the card shows up via USPS. What a great service.
