Copag Bridge Size Regular Index 1546 Playing Cards (Black Gold Setup)

First, these are not "standard" size, they're a little slimmer. I was a little disappointed when I first got them but have gotten used to the size and now I prefer it. I use them about every day, and this is my third pack of 2 from Copag. I'm currently on my last deck and about to order another.To the good, they are smooth, feel great, easy to clean, don't fray like paper, waterproof, clearly printed with no errors i've seen. They shuffle BETTER after a couple weeks use, they're a little too slick out of the box. Once they break in, they stay perfect for shuffling.To the bad, I've had other copags chip with abuse, thankfully these haven't yet but with plastic it's only a matter of time. The facings are starting to wear, giving the ink an aged look. I'm not upset with the look, but it is wear, and will eventually disappear altogether.All in all, I'll probably never buy another brand playing cards.

I just got these a couple days ago, and overall they're nice cards that are very flexible but keep their shape. They're nice to have in your hands (the material is comfortable), although they have a couple downsides. First downside: The cards are a bit more slippery than I'd like; it seems like when I shuffle these cards that they don't want to be in a deck together (as if they had a personality). The cards move off of each other very easily, and make it surprisingly difficult to shuffle properly. In addition, the second (and last) downside is that the cards came slightly bent. Now, to be honest I'm not sure if this is a part of the cards' design, but I've never seen any cards like this before if this is the case. The cards are bent in the middle, from the top of the card to the bottom, with the center pushed back. This actually does make it slightly easier to shuffle, but just since I'm used to a flat deck the cards the cards slip even more when I'm shuffling.So overall: good cards, but they seem a bit slippery and possibly bent. It's going to take me a lot of getting used to for this deck.UPDATE: After using these cards for months they have held up well, and don't have any major signs or wearing down. Although the symbols and numbers have begun to rub off, which leaves them looking "authentic" for now until they may end up disappearing for good (hopefully they don't). In terms of shuffling, I've gotten used to using the cards even though I still think they are slippery and require a lighter touch to use.

These cards felt absolutely awesome and were great to play with, for a few days. About 3 days in, the first card cracked. By day 5, 6 cards are either cracked or have corners chipped off. I want to love them but it seems when you collect the cards together back into a deck after being spread out, they crack each other.

These cards look and feel great. By being made of plastic, there will be increased durability. Of course, since they are made of plastic, they will be a bit more slippery than ordinary cards. Love them so far!

These are the best playing cards I have ever used. They have a really nice snap to them and are a joy to shuffle. I also really like the bridge size...much better than poker sized cards I recently bought from the same manufacturer.These copags are very slightly smaller than other decks that identify themselves as "bridge sized." Not a serious issue, but something to be aware of.

Very good quality, long lasting playing cards. I've purchased these before, play cards frequently, and these last me at least a couple of years. Unlike others I've tried, the markings do not fade or wear off. They shuffle nicely and are quite flexible. They are more slippery than some plastic cards, which some folks may not like.

These are casino quality plastic cards, less expensive than other brands, very nice, and should last a long time. I used them to practice for a dealer job and they are almost identical to actual casino cards (or in fact, I believe they are identical).

I am a fan of Copag. Their U.S. customer service is fantastic. Unfortunately I don't want to have to contact customer service about playing cards. I have owned over a dozen setups of Copag and do continue to buy them as they have a pretty good life-span. Just be warned that the graphics fade on the faces (not the backs) much faster than Kem or Da Vinci. I have even had individual decks bleed color as if some final production process was never completed. The fading graphics are just an annoyance, they don't affect the game. Just my humble opinion.

THESE ARE PART OF A GIFT AND ARE A VERY NICE LOOKING SET OF PLAYING CARDS
