Modiano Platinum Pro (2 Viewers)

Totally normal sadly. It doesn’t affect the playability imo bit it’s still a shame…

Wow, I heard this about Kems, which I have avoided, but not about Modiano Platinums.

i ordered a set on Amazon.co.nl, they came warped as well.
In the process of returning them, but it will cost a bomb to send them back to Europe from Asia

FYI, I have been really wanting to try some of these cards so ordered 2 setups from Amazon.de. Sadly, when I opened the package I discovered both sets had noticeably concave warping.

Thankfully Amazon gave me a full refund and I do not even need to go through the hassle of returning them. Was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue buying these cards from Amazon.de. I thought about ordering some more but the fact two separate set ups had the same issue has me very hesitant to order more of them.

@Goldfish ever had this problem with any of the set ups you ordered in bulk?

I am sorry to hear that. All of my Modiano Platinum decks are warped as in your pictures, but I don't mind. So I guess they have some quality issues and that's maybe why they sell it cheaper than usual. I didn't test them yet, because we have older cards to use first. So as of now I can't give any feedback how they are in play.

In my experience all Modiano cards can have a slight bow. Some decks come perfectly flat but it's the exception (I have maybe ten decks total. Platinums, Texas Poker and Bike Trophy bridge/jumbo). What's different to KEMs is that the bow doesn't get worse and flat decks stay flat.

Personally, in my opinion, the best cards are paper BEE. But, they are not as durable as plastic. And the point of acetate cards is that they get the feel of paper, but have the durability of plastic. But, paper cards bend very easily. And no one complains. But, acetate ones are criticized....

try Piatnik luxury line

Danke!
I haven't had any from Pyatnik, but I want to try.
Right now I spontaneously bought 16 Modiano Platinum..
My wife's sister works at the Trefl factory. And sometimes she brings souvenirs. And I can say that Poland makes amazing cards, if they want. Or apparently, depending on what you order. Both plastic and paper. But, among all the possible options, I would choose paper ones from America, but plastic of all kinds from Europe. 100%.

Wait, um... is that paper??? I love paper cards. They always have a really nice feel. But, I hate it when it's time to drink!!! That's the whole point of plastic. Your game isn't over when people are pouring beer or wine.

Oh crap! You're right! I saw the box and assumed they where PA! Oh well, always wanted to try the Texas Holdem

Quick followup on the Modiano Texas Poker cards after two games:

PROS

• Unlike other brands that warp after only one game, the Modiano Texas Poker cards remain flat
• Work well in the shuffler with only a few jams towards the end of the night
• I prefer the more rigid and thicker stock
• $16 per set shipped and readily avail

CONS

• Lack of back colors, designs, indexes, and no bridge size avail

We'll see how they hold up long term, but so far these are winners
