Oh Copag (2 Viewers)

[SwissChip]

I‘ve used the Copag Brazil decks (left) for nearly 2 decades and this is my last deck… : (
They smell, and they fade too quick, but really excellent PVC cards!!
The other Copags (Belgium and USA) are not nearly the same product for the same price.

I will never ever buy a deck of Copags again.

What about Copags?

It ends with a G.

I don‘t care anymore..! ; )

Welcome to the world of good cards now

 

[SwissChip]

I fixed it - but i don‘t care anymore…! ; )

the only things I liked about Copags was that you can buy them everywhere (that have not changed), and you know what to expect, that is not longer a constant.
Other than that flimsy, ugly and i do not like the font.

Copag has always been the half-step between paper and quality plastic.

However, when you have a mystery "card-creaser" in the midst, it's nice to replace a deck on the cheap until you can identify and educate the card-damaging player.

Yup. Played in a .25/.50 game that required we break plastic on a new setup everytime we played; I'm not wasting Fournier on a single 6 hour session!

I’ve gone through so many good setups that way that I’ve just given up. And it’s no big deal. The facts that:
1) i’d put Copag near the bottom of every premium plastic card list, and
2) Copags play totally fine
are not mutually exclusive.

Horrible to replace nice cards after 1 game!!

I play less poker than the past - and usually with ‚normal behavior‘ people, if possible ; )
The brazil CopaGs were excellent cards, under 10 bucks a deck!!

I miss them, and never use the last deck!

If you replace cards after each game try Lot Fancy. They are really nice cards for only $10/setup.

Link? The only cards I see from Lot Fancy are paper cards, which probably means super easy to nick, lousy weight, and crappy shuffle after about 3 hours.

I try not to use new cards every game.
I check them before the next game, and replace if there‘s an issue.
Some decks i washed after a long game, and they were like new, even better in some way.

If you can‘t trust the card guy, you should change the card guy.
Lots of people always try to cheat. This is why i don‘t like to play a open tourney or in casino.
It‘s not just enjoy playing some hands with some good people!
