Sitting Out
I’ve used many cards. I’m partial to copags. BUT the CG cards are boss. It’s very hard to go against what I call “The Standard”. However, I can’t be bound by brand. CG are bangers.

So when you say “best firmness/shuffle experience” is it safe to assume that they’re on the stiffer side (not particularly flexy?)

They have a “just right” feel. I know that’s my own gauge, but it’s the best way I can’t explain it.
They flex enough to peek, slap down enough to reset flat, and not too stiff to shuffle with ease.

I have old Modiano branded version of these. Quite like them.
I have a set up of the C&G and for the money they seem alright.

Bullets:
Middle of the field. Was hoping for a better card, but they just didn’t do it for me. The colors are meh, the cards retain a tiny fold after a peek, and overall just don’t compete well against the others.

And that’s that.

So Chips & Games at $12 per set up is the leader right now? My buddy is looking to buy 6 sets ups for a tourney and I'm following along for him. lol
Too bad, I could have warned you.
I did a review on these (Royal) back on the blue wall (18 years ago

Don’t move yet, race ain’t over…..
I’ve shuffled and pitched, I’m peeking and playing….
Lots of hands on…. DV might be taking over, and Xiangyue (I think Angel) might be a keeper too!
Lots of feelings floating about.
I call bullshit on that. Still have the tuckbox?
Not surprised the DaVinci are close to the top of the list for you. They're a great value at about $15/setup.

Woah, that was aggressive
No need to call anything, I’m just fumble fucking decks around, I dig the X deck
These X cards do have one flaw, the printing seems to have transferred by storage or something. Only on a few of the cards.
Other than that, they feel fantastic, NO BULLSHIT
Didn't mean it to come off as aggressive, but I'd just be very surprised if Angel cards were available on Amazon as they're the parent company of GPI and only sell to casinos.Woah, that was aggressive

These look interesting! How is the texture of the card backs and faces? The faces look pretty smooth like King cards.

Ok, so….
After many many shuffles, multiple hours of debating and touching….
Evaluation against the Mondiano, Desjgn (old&new), KEM, Fournier, Copag….
The final two I will be putting in rotation are these.
Chips & Games: Think Mondiano
It’s just a solid all around card. Textured top, slick face, great art, solid thickness - but not too much, etc. It makes me happy over and over every time I touch them.
LotFancy: Think KEM
These surprised us all, after many shuffles and touching, they literally go head to head with KEM, and have a supple feel to them. The colors are deep and beautiful, the bend and snap back are great, and the only thing I wish they had were Jumbo instead of standard. If I can find them in Jumbo, I’m buying a case.
Both decks were $12-$13 delivered, and frankly are just as good as Mondiano, KEM, Desjgn, Fournier. I touched them all, and they just are.
The final two winners, equally great!
Honorable Mention!
Xiangyue…. Loved this card, but it suffers from a print QC issue, only on the black deck. The face of some cards had smudging, and I just couldn’t ignore it…. The card was great though!

Really enjoyed reading your evaluations of these. I thought I had tried just about every card option out there, but you dug up a couple I hadn’t, including the Lot Fancy. Now, I’m going to have to give those a try, damnit.

Yep! This^^^
Right before Christmas, I scooped 3 DaVincis setups. Great prices combined with fast as hell free shipping on Prime, GREAT DEAL!
It’s unbelievable how much I’m addicted to buying cards. I’m totally dumb too, I know nothing about them except I want to buy them if I don’t have them. Pure Sickness!

I really love me the Teskyer brand cards man! I tried them too. Albeit mine are different looking…

Did you see that you can get 6 decks for only $4 more?

I might have to spite buy these just to prove to myself and to the world that they’re nothing close to KEMs.

I reviewed those, the color of the back is different. Cards were marked by print errors, etc. Go look closely and lmk if yours are the same. Definitely easy to see different shades on the brown deck.

DONT BUY THE ABOVE LINK, it’s a plastic coated card, and NOT the one in my review.
There’s multiple versions. The below link is for LotFancy Jumbo 100% plastic cards

I’ll go and check just now. I’m curious. I didn’t actually put em in play or really take a close look I suppose.
I’ll be right back…
yep
- Plastic-coated decks of cards for a smooth feel and extra durability, easy to shuffle; made from paper stock; linen finish for better handle; blue core sandwich construction for professional game play, nearly Casino Grade
And poker size, I have enough poker size.

Well I’ll be ripped off. Hahahaha!
Glad I only got a single setup. There are noticeable flaws. I also feel like even after a single game or two, the edges might get discoloured like the Joker already is…

Damn, sorry about that! I didn't look closely enough apparently.
