Kings 100% plastic playing cards. bridge/jumbo (1 Viewer)

[xdan]

these are a new line from an Australian retailer.

there is a range of poker size and bridge size, all jumbo index.

i currently have 2 boxes of bridge jumbo, and these cards are great.
they have a rough-ish texture like gemaco and more of a copag look.
MUCH better than copag though..

they handle great and are easy to shuffle..

happy to obatin more if people are keen to try some.

Hey mate, they look good. I have seen them before and wondered if they were worth a try. How much are they per deck?

 

[TheBigTater]

The back design looks a lot like the Kem Monaco design, one of my favorites.

 

[Psypher1000]

I'm listening. Any red/blue, by chance?

 

[SixSpeedFury]

Those look nice. I might be interested in a setup, depending on the cost.

 

[200 Motels]

I'd be interested in a box if the price was right. Nice looking cards.

Being local, I can ship u 2 decks for $25

Only in poker size..

 

[justsomedude]

I'm interested in Bridge/Jumbo... at least two setups!

 

[xdan]

If enough people in the USA want some cards, Perhaps a single ship point to save on costs from Australia, then cheaper domestic shipping from there. Just an idea..

I'd be willing to serve as the US host. I definitely want at least two setups, and possibly more.

 

[Milo013]

the backs are very similar in pattern to a Fournier (I think?) set up I own (Arabesques?). I would take a set-up if the "Ship to US" notion takes place. It has been a while since I tried something new. I think it was the Four52 line, which were quite nice.

Poker size jumbo index with red/blue backs? I may be interested...

the red and blue decks are quite vibrant.
I will try and get some pics tonight.

i may put up a group buy and see what reaction it gets.

 

[xdan]

pics:
all these are poker size/jumbo index

the bridge jumbo only come in brown and green.

 

[Milo013]

Some very interesting back designs. The poker size are similar to the Piatniks I own. The last picture are the ones I like best, as they are reasonably unique. I'd go for a set-up of either red/blue combo.

 

[Adam Crowley]

@xdan if you get enough interest for a group discount I will get a couple of setups as well

 

[desjgn]

I'd go in on a set up too.

 

[TheBigTater]

If a single ship US GB happens I'd be in for a brown/green bridge jumbo setup (with the Monaco looking backs) and a red/blue poker setup (with the backs in the last pic a couple of post above) depending on pricing.

 

[xdan]

pricing looks to be around $19US for a set (2 decks)
plus shipping to USA..

for people in Australia, roughly $25AU a set plus shipping.

If people are happy with the pricing, i can start to put something together.

@justsomedude has offered to be a host for all US orders..

Maybe ask them if there could be an amount to qualify for a group discount. It would be cheaper for Australians to ship them direct otherwise

 

[Redbelly]

I'll take this! x4. Seriously don't need them... but strangely... I DO!

 

[nitzilla]

I'd be willing to serve as the US host.

Alright, I'd be down for at least 4 setups: Poker/Jumbo x2 and Bridge/Jumbo x2, possibly more.........saves me shipping if you're running it

 

[xdan]

so ive ran the numbers, and the easiest way to sort out a price is per set to @justsomedude then you can work out domestic shipping with him.

to get a set from AUS to USA, it works out to be $27US per set shipped.

shipping is about $77AU for every 12 sets.(about 4kg in weight) check auspost.com.au. 'from' suburb/postcode is Melton VIC 3337.

i know people in the USA can pickup sets for around $20US, but the shipping is what kills it.

are people still keen? no harm if people back out.. just putting it all out there.

 

[justsomedude]

I'm still in for two bridge/jumbo setups!

Do these come in two deck setups, or single deck boxes? Easier for me to pack and reship as singles.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

As much as I'd like to have a setup, at this point, I'm out. Reshipping from the US to Canada isn't inexpensive, and shipped directly to Canada is about $36 Cdn / setup (assuming it's $27 USD). That's more than I'm willing to spend at this time.

(can I unlike my own post?)

 

[Redbelly]

With regret I am going to back out as well. I seriously don't need them but loved their look. All my best!

 

[joseywales]

Has anyone tried these King's yet? I'm looking for a reasonable alternative to Piatniks. I have a set of Piatnik regular index coming in, but might prefer the jumbo, which prove coslty.

i have both, piatniks blow these out of the water.

these feel kinda like construction paper on my hands
