[abby99]

I retrieved mine from my mailbox this afternoon. Thanks for organizing this group buy, David. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[BGinGA]

Decks arrived today, could not be happier. Thanks so much for your effort in getting these in our hands, David. Looking forward to seeing what you can do to get us matching red decks!

 

[Josh Kifer]

Well crap, of course I didn't pay attention until it was sold out. Heh

 

[ceramicmike]

Cards arrived and Thank you very much for them !!!!

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

I had a couple arrive like that in the original order. I have a few extra if you would like for me to replace the case and cards.

So far this is the only casualty so I hope there are not more.

It’s no problem, as I have a few extra single deck cases! Thanks again, for putting this together!

Received-- Thank you David!!

Assuming no matching red Piatnik cards are available, what's a good close alternative that would still go well together?
Jumbo Fourniers or possibly Guild Arc's?
Looks like these Piatnik jumbo indexes are slightly larger than most Jumbo/Large indexes.

 

[FlushBlack]

Got em today, thnx’s for the work in getting these David (y) :thumbsup:...all the best mate

 

[mashoo]

I hope I get mine by next Friday, it'd be just in time to debut for my game! These cards look great. Thanks @David O for doing this!

 

[TheBigTater]

Decks arrive & are outstanding always, one of my favorite, thanks you @David O for making these happen. If the matching red Bridge/Jumbo decks ever surface I'm down for 20 to match my blues.And whenever/if you do another order I will also be down for some more Piatnik Poker/Jumbo setups as well

Think I'm going to limit myself to 3-4 brands/styles of decks from now on, Piatnik, Fournier Congress, Superflex & Desjgn (once the B/J decks are straightened out). Coming close to my card nirvana.

 

[BGinGA]

Add Prestige bridge/jumbo to that list and I'm right there with ya. (y) :thumbsup:

The Gemaco Monte Carlos are a nice option to mix a red deck in: https://www.kardwell.com/gemaco-monte-carlo.html

I also like the Fournier Congress 2826.

My preference so far are the Guild's, both visually and by feel. The brightness of the red indexes are similar and both have the creme centers. The only thing that bugs me is the spade design of the Guild's (similar to Modiano's). I much prefer the spade design of the Fournier's, which would be more consistent with the Piatniks.

I wish the Fournier 2818 series came in bridge jumbo, as those would match even better, save for the darker reds. I do like the various 2826/Congress varieties, but the "jumbo" indexes of those are the smallest whereas the Piatnik jumbo are very JUMBO.

The Gemaco Monte Carlos are also nice on their own, but IMO doesn't jive as well with the Piatniks. The elongated font, mixed in, would tilt me

Are those superflex? Gemaco Superflex seem to be loved by people who love the same cards as me, so I need to try some.

I don't think so.

In all honesty, I’m not sure. The Joker says Superflex on it but some folks here have noted that they think these cards feel a little different than the “standard” Superflex.

I don’t know if a true side by side comparo has ever been done/documented. I thought I saw a thread some time ago by some one who has both, but now I can’t seem to find it.

More pics of the Monte Carlo Superflex edition here.

 

[BGinGA]

Weird that 'superflex' appears only on the jokers and nowhere else.... Ace of spades, packaging, nothing...

 

[mashoo]

Got the cards @David O ! Perfect timing, got my game tomorrow!

 

[Poker Zombie]

Got a deck of the Piatniks into play last night. It was my first time with Piatnik, and hoo-boy did I love them .

They didn't love me as much as they loved @Mrs Poker Zombie , but these will be our new heads-up decks.

 

[DMack]

Anyone have any extras you would be willing to part with?

 

[David O]

I might but will have to check my personal stash

If you don't have any, @David O, I ordered more than I needed to maximize on shipping with @ChaosRock. I could part with a deck or two.

That's cool if you want to take care of @DMack.

Just reading through this thread and saw this. I have both Gemaco labeled Superflex and the Monte Carlos. I inquired before I bought and Karwell said they are the same material.

I can confirm they are. The only difference is the Monte Carlos use regular red ink rather than the dark "security red. While I prefer the dark red, I much prefer the Monte Carlo backs. Very classy

 

[WedgeRock]

PM me if interested, @DMack.

Thanks. Now I just have to talk myself into paying $15 to ship two setups.

Shipping from them is absurdly expensive. I ended up buying a whole bunch of stuff to make it worth it. What a sucker I am (n) :thumbsdown:
