Looking for other options to use for home games. I only have Bravo Cartamundis I got from dealing school. They sell them but I don’t really want to keep going there when my crew bends up the cards lol. Please me know what you like to use, info on higher end welcomed for the future too. Thanks!

The previous versions of these cards are really nice: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/cards-group-buy-bridge-jumbo-setups-green-blue.120478/
The first run just had a misprint on one card, and some of the numbers and some of the suits had some readability issues (in my opinion and others), but this most recent run, which will be shipping next month should fix all of those issues. If the plastic stock is the same as the earlier versions, then they'd be a great value for the quality you get at $8/setup.

Not sure if 20ish is considered affordable, but I love Copags. We used the same 2 decks in a home game for years that I still have and look almost new after cleaning. I went through several premium decks, but I just love the texture and ease of shuffling. They also are not easily gummed up by sweat as KEM or some other decks.

The new WSOP Copags from 2020 or whatever are a pretty good deal.
The Justin cards are nice as mentioned previously.
Copags are definitely on my list to try. Thanks!
Just checked them out. I’ll be placing an order. They look great, thanks!!

Try a bunch of different cards. There's a lot of personal preference involved. I used to love KEMs but no longer due to cost and bowing. Used Copags for a while but was very disappointed in the quality, feel, and durability. Now am on Day Vinci and think it's hit the sweet spot between cost and quality without any durability issues so far.
But so many I haven't tried yet.

Lot fancy on Amazon. Ten bucks for a two-deck setup. Can’t be beaten

This is the way. The Lot Fancys can't be beat for the price. I prefer them over Copags.
Yeah since I’ve looked at Copags realistically (because there’s always been people here insisting that Copags are crap) I’ve felt that they are a great baseline - decent cards for a decent price. I think lot fancies feel better than copags for about half the price.
They’re not pretty - Copag sells plenty of cards that are much better looking than lot fancies. But pretty backs are the very last thing I consider.
I like a pretty back side - oh you meant cards.......sorry!
Broken Arrow poker sized jumbo index are great cards for inexpensive setups.

I learned that nothing beats Dal Negro, or maybe brazil Copags for PVC cards.
Best value for money.

Was trying to save from having to buy a bunch to see what I like but I think you’re right. I’ll have to just buy them all and see for myself and what my crew likes lol
These look good! However I do wish they offered bridge sized white background cards. Maybe have to try just to see
Yeah I was going to ask them to stop but they tip well enough for me to just get new cards

I always liked KEM but they are no longer "affordable". I joined this forum a couple weeks ago and after a bunch of searching and reading i bough a pack of Desjgn and Da Vinci to test them out. The Desjgn were pretty thick and stiff compared to KEM. The Da Vinci was between the KEM and Desjgn as far a stiffness goes.
i would like to try Copags before buying something in bulk.

You’ll find that copags have a flexiness closer to Kem, but they lack much texture.

i really wish i stocked up on KEM before all of their price hikes.
I have a few setups, but now I'm afraid to use them.
