Anyway to find Modiano Platnium Acetates? (9 Viewers)

[frisco]

I would love to be able to purchase a set but I genuinely cant find a single new deck to buy. If anyone has an ability to help me find some please let me know

I don’t know if they are available somewhere in the US but in the EU you can find them here :

if there will be problem with shipping send an email to the seller, he is very accomodating and may try to find cheaper option
he also has bunch of nice Fourniers

good luck, if you looking for 4 index let me know I may find some

 

[RansomStoddard]

@Goldfish uses them for his games and will periodically sell sets here, usually in groups of 10 or so sets. Might keep an eye out for those, if you are willing to go in for multiples.

Oh this is awesome, thanks for people's help.
Do they have a reputation for the KEM-bow?

not that I have noticed

unfortunately I switched to copaq because I was unable to find platinums in the states. I did explore buying direct from Modiano but the shipping was prohibitively expensive which I presume is why nobody sells them in the states anymore. I think I have 3 regular index set ups remaining (new). I generally use jumbo index so if @frisco (or anyone else) wants them feel free to PM me (CONUS only).

Bridge or poker size? I’m interested but feel like @frisco should get first dibs here. Will PM.

All poker size regular index. Offered to @frisco first then to @mdt11.

Try Angel Poker Acetate before you give up. So far no bowing, no bad smell, no fading, and great handing.

I don't do Bridge & I don't find them very attractive to begin with but thanks.

 

[Jeevansluck]

I think Apache poker guy is selling some

 

[Bikshu]

Yeah Apache doesn't show them on their website but he has some listed in this thread from his vendor sub-forum.

Alternatively, below is a link to where where I bought mine from a while back. Straight Poker Supplies is out of Canada but they shipped to me in the US without any issue. A fair warning that Modiano Platinums are always going to be pretty damn pricey no matter where you get them from, mainly because I don't believe that they've even been produced in years so this is simply a reflection of their ever increasing scarcity. I actually ended up not loving the cards very much, but I'm glad that I got one setup while they are still around to be purchased... so at least I could try them out and compare them to the rest of the cards in my collection.

Hey @Goldfish - did these sell? If not, I’m interested.

 

[wickedwonka121]

@Tommy will you add this to the glossary of pcf terms? KEM-bow

Teehee.

 

[Goldfish]

They have been sold.

 

[GeeOhVee]

At this point, as great as acetate cards bridge the gap between paper and plastic feel, they just don't have the longevity justification when buying cards.
