Is it not the same blue on the standard index cards? I just have the jumbo index.

The standard index cards don't have that rectangle around the pips. There's probably some blue on the face cards though (can't recall).

I always have to suit em up and spread em on the felt.

The main reason i hate suited speed cloth.
Cant spread cards

speed cloth is THE FUGGIN WORST!!! definitely NO dealer's friend

i've been dealing private games on / off for 20+ years.... i've tried A LOT of different cards over that time span

for me, when all factors are weighed, copags are the best

i see ABSOLUTELY no reason why a new deck should not be used for each new session of play.... i ALWAYS bring a new deck to gigs i deal... when you buy copags in bulk, it comes out to around $12 per setup.... if you're making decent money in tips or running a raked game, you have no excuse (except being cheap) to not break out a fresh deck for each new game

and if you're running a friendly game: have each player chip in a buck for a new setup each session... i TOTALLY would as a player

after even ONE session a setup can get completely whored out from gunk and moisture from players' hands etc.... not to mention thumbnail imprints in the cards, etc

i do realize that there are tougher cards out there... but have you ever tried to deal a 8 or 12 hour session with modiano's? it's fuggin BRUTAL! may as well use roofing shingles... they're way to stiff and unforgiving

kems are nice, but just too expensive to swap in a new setup each session

i'm completely content with copags... i never use anything else
