The site offering a 50 percent off coupon for Kardwell cards beginning in March has not updated. I signed up for an alert if it does.
I will also call Kardwell in the morning to see what they may be able to do for us with a large order like this.
More later...

Great news, Dennis! At 50% discounts, I'm in for five setups, or at least two with just their standard bulk discount.
However, I have some concerns that the 'model' numbers shown in your post may not all be for Gemaco Superflex cards, and that people ordering by those numbers may not actually receive Superflex cards. That picture/chart actually originates from the Gemaco web site, and shows pictures of both SuperFlex and Five Star lines of playing cards -- and I suspect it also shows Gemaco model numbers for both card lines.
By visual reference, these are the Gemaco Superflex cards:
and these are the Gemaco Five Star cards:
From Kardwell's web site (link below), these are the actual four variations of Superflex cards:
https://www.kardwell.com/page/KII/CTGY/GEMACO-SUPERFLEX
That link also references the applicable five different Kardwell item order numbers for each type of Superflex cards they actually offer:
GEM-SUPERFLX-WD-RI-RB-WB - Gemaco Superflex Plastic Playing Cards: 2-deck, Wide Size, Regular Index, Red/Blue with Border
GEM-SUPERFLX-WD-RI-RB-WOB - Gemaco Superflex Plastic Playing Cards: 2-deck, Wide Size, Regular Index, Red/Blue without Border
GEM-SUPERFLX-WD-SI-RB-WB - Gemaco Superflex Plastic Playing Cards: 2-deck, Wide Size, Super Index, Red/Blue with Border
GEM-SUPERFLX-NR-RI-RB-WB - Gemaco Superflex Plastic Playing Cards: 2-deck, Narrow Size, Regular Index, Red/Blue with Border
GEM-SUPERFLX-NR-RI-GB-WB - Gemaco Superflex Plastic Playing Cards: 2-deck, Narrow Size, Regular Index, Green/Brown with Border
For example, note that the a) bridge size regular index cards are not offered in a no-border style, b) poker size cards are not offered in green/brown, regardless of index size, and c) large index is only offered in red/blue poker size cards with border (and large index is not offered in bridge size). Even though Kardwell's web site states that the Superflex cards are available in "narrow size super index", they have no corresponding item order number or link.
I suspect several of ^those^ realizations may drastically change what people are ordering. For example, I believe that the Gemaco's "6039 Jumbo green/brown" refers to Five Star cards, not Superflex -- and Kardwell does not have a corresponding item order number for that Superflex combo in any case.
To ensure that people get what they actually want, I'd recommend using those five specific Kardwell item order numbers, not the Gemaco model numbers.

In for 3x bridge-size jumbo red/blue with border, if available. Maybe more.

Thanks.

Dave: Thanks for posting. Great info.
I will call Kardwell today to request pricing, a catalog, and to order some samples of what Superflex cards they offer and what is in stock to ship.
I will try to learn what discounts / price range we will be in if we order 72 to 144 setups (1 or 2 cases of cards).
I should have a much better idea where we stand in a day or so.
I would avoid the Five Star gemaco cards, in fact if I reviewed them they would not even earn one star! I also have two setup of Superflex, and they are super fine! There is a world of difference in my opinion, and the Five (0) Star are prone to warping. The superflex cards are as nice as everyone says!

Good info to know.
The plan as of right now is to reach out to Kardwell and see what they can do for us as a group making an order of 75 or 100 setups of Superflex, order some samples and actually show everyone what is available in this line of cards right now. We'll open the thread for actual orders for several days and then place the order with Kardwell for the right decks at the real, best price.

Interested in Bridge size, Jumbo Index, 3 setups. With border if possible.
With the number of Bridge Jumbo requests, It might be in their best interest to make them if they don't already.

Would be in if bridge/jumbo/red-blue with border is available.
I have a few setups of SuperFlex and the only bridge/jumbo with border I've been able to find were green-brown, no red-blue.

Interested in one set up of 6039 (brown/green bridge jumbo) & one setup of 6036 (blue/red poker jumbo) (both with border) please. 
Gemaco makes them (or did), but Kardwell doesn't offer them (at least per their web site).
Dennis should have current details in a day or so.

I just got off the phone with Joe Kardwell. (Super nice guy, by the way.)
For this buy only, prices for Superflex decks will be $10 per setup. (This is definite, and is a starting number.)
There is a chance we may be close to $9 when we have final numbers. Any reduction in the total price of the cards (delivered to me) will be passed on to group buyers for his buy.
So per Mr. Kardwell, we're definitely looking at $10 per setup, and may get to around $9 or $9.50.
This is for Superflex decks only. Based on Dave's post, that's:

GEM-SUPERFLX-NR-RI-GB-WB - Gemaco Superflex Plastic Playing Cards: 2-deck, Narrow Size, Regular Index, Green/Brown with Border
I will build on this and update the OP with a nice, readable chart and a photo later this evening.
We open for actual orders tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Wide size is Poker Size, correct?
So it looks as though, they dont offer Narrow (Bridge) size with Super index?

Ah, thanks for the update. No bridge size jumbo index is disappointing.
