Finally got some Piatnik bridge jumbo.. (1 Viewer)

[xdan]

as the title states.. very hard to find, and even harder getting some to Australia.
they have to be one of the nicest cards available, if not THE nicest.
they come in an individual snap case which is pretty cool.

cant wait to have a game to get these going!

 

[Whiteside]

How do they differ from the Fournier bridge size jumbo cards (if you have any to compare with)?

 

[xdan]

I definitely do.
Fournier would be in my top 3 with piatnik and dal negro.

piatnik are a notch above fournier. My opinion.

 

[Ghoti]

Sweet, you got them! The next setup I'd like to get is Dal Negro.

 

[SleepInPC]

Those look pretty nice. Love the cases.

 

[TheBigTater]

Where did you find them, link please?

Still pricey when shipped to US but bridge/jumbo & not the 4 corner index made it worth a purchase.

Hopefully we will have a new vendor soon on the forum...he has Piatnik bridge double decks for $15 shipped...I didn't really close at which ones he has though.

 

[SleepInPC]

Only one red left in stock. Are you willing to sell one blue and one red of yours? I wanted to get a few from that website but I don't want to pay 13 euro to ship one deck to the USA.

 

[xdan]

I'm happy to sell.
But I'm in australia.. Shipping will be about $15 I'd imagine

Has this vendor arrived yet? Or did I just miss it somewhere

I believe it was playingcards.net. See http://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/new-vendor-playingcards-net.12276/.

I believe these aren't plastic, so beware.

These piatniks are the best cards I've ever handled and I've come across a ton of cards

 

[mummel]

Fourniers have been the best I've used so far. Still need to try some piatniks.

Fournier Congress FTW!

Haha look what I found in my kids stash.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Nah, I have both. Piatnik destroy the congress cards

 

[joseywales]

Where can US customers buy these Piatniks?

 

[upNdown]

You can get them on eBay, but they're not cheap and they're not jumbo index

link? find a plastic piatnik setup. Ive yet to seen them available

 

[joseywales]

I actually did see one set, but you are correct, they were not jumbo.

I have GV that are Superflex and not jumbo. I only shuffled them a few times, then left for vacation. I have to say, I "tested" the index and it wasn't bad at all. I might try the Piatnik regular index.

Actually, $23.52 shipped isn't bad at all.

 

[SleepInPC]

Compared to me paying $20 for a single deck, that's not bad at all. I paid that much cause I really wanted Jumbo index though.

Looked good to me, so I snapped it. Thanks @upNdown for the link.

 

[joseywales]

I swore by Jumbo. But the GV cards I just received are regular. In some ways, it's easier to peek at.

I have Fornier jumbo, but the index is a shade darker, so the reds don't pop. I think the GV Superflex, regular index, were a tad easier to see. Again, I don't handle them long, so we'll see when I get back.

My theory, though, is that index pop is more critical than size. We shall see.

I dont care either way about jumbo vs regular index. but a lot of older crowds prefer jumbo due to inability see the board in flop games
