Received an awesome package from @ChaosRock today. Piatnik, Fournier, and Cartamundi cards in a single package? Couldn't be happier. Thanks!
The Holy Trinity of great cards!
Wow what a score! Been trying to find Piatniks and Cartamundi Casino Brand to try out and was very curious about Neder too, but striking out on eBay. @ChaosRock when you get back home let me know if you have any of these left!
Wow.
So I have a wanted ad out for some Aransas Queen $1s to finish a set with some family backstory ... as a previous AQ owner, @Thisfiendis138 reached out to help and we ended up chatting a bit and trading a few chips. Then a few days later, freaking OUT OF THE BLUE I receive these AQ tumblers in the mail! I gotta tell you, WT101 never tasted so good as it did last night. Thank you to my new AQ bro for the surprise gift!
THEN ... I was reminded I had 90 some-odd Lakeshore quarters sitting in a closet when a single showed up here recently. My buddy @moechar had gotten me a little closer to a full rack a few months back, but I was still stuck six chips short, semi-collecting dust, waiting to be used in a mixed set somewhere/someday -- so I commented for the seller to keep me in mind. Well @Ben8257 saw it and freaking OUT OF THE BLUE mailed me 4 more! Are you kidding me? You and @FordPickup92 are too gracious and too kind!!! Of course, now I really need to find two more and then oil the rest of the rack ... so thanks for the homework, I guess.
In what can sometimes feel like a season of salt here on PCF, I was graciously shown that there's a hell of a lot more giving going on than makes the front page. A couple tumblers and some spare poker chips from strangers put a bigger smile on my face than multi-thousand dollar completed sets.
Thanks for the reminder, y'all.

Shipping is expensive but if you get a couple of others' orders along with yours and you split the shipping cost, it's a bit more manageable. I just bought two more blue decks last night, wish I had known! I decided that I don't want to use my existing two blue decks that I currently have matched up with my two red decks also along with my two orange decks that I dug deep to acquire. I needed two new blue decks to pair up with those
@David O used to have a Piatnik contact, I think. The shop above as the blue decks of the poker jumbos but I can't find the red decks anywhere. I think that they stopped making plastic cards and only made the two runs of the bridge and poker jumbo cards of the same back design years ago. David would probably know much better than me on this, though. I have my two set ups of the poker jumbos and one bridge jumbo set up that are vaulted.
Not sure if @Thomacetti would have a source for the Neder cards. The site he got them from doesn't show them as in stock any longer. They're the same exact stock as the Tobago cards that @surfik had a while back. A little softer and more flexible than the casino decks linked above, but still awesome!

Are we sure that those cardimundi casinos are the same stock as the Neder/Tobago’s? I thought that they weren’t.https://www.pokerstore.nl/poker-cards/carta-mundi/cartamundi-plastic-casino-playing-cards-red.html

FWIW, the Tobago’s are the GOAT in my mind. I’m told the Neders are the same stock, though I haven’t opened mine yet. But my understanding is that the cardimundi casinos linked above are a different stock.
Edit: oops, sorry, missed the last line:

You're correct. I think when Dix tested the Tobago, Neder, and Casino stocks, the first two were identical but that the Casino stock was a bit more stiff.
I am so in love with the neder/Tobago stock. Get them to me in bridge and I’d never buy another card.

Just got these four Bicycle Prestige decks in the mail today from eBay. 2009 copyright date on the back of the box, cards made in Spain, the back design with the white verticals stripe rather than the standard racer back.
Not sure when I’ll be able to put them in play but looking forward to comparing them to the burgundy/green Prestiges I have.
Also added them to my card flattening contraption.

Soo... we get home and @FordPickup92 says there are packages in the other room for you. One clearly says Brie on it, I said babe this isn't for me, she says yes it is I bought it for you! I said okay then why not wrap it up as a present? I quote "it is not present worthy!".... um....
There are folks here that would literally kill to have 80 THC paulsons under the Tree tomorrow. Seriously this woman is absolutely amazing.
Also gotta love honest eBay sellers. I bought two snappers separately and hes sends a note and a dollar bill tape inside for shipping reimbursement. Lol
Yup you definitely purchased some positive feedback on that gesture!

Anyone see these yet? Brie says a "new sample chip"??
Only 4 hats and not very crisp and defined like normal RHCs, also
Just a weird chip, edge spots almost look added after the fact or something, not a smooth transition like a normal chip.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The edge spots almost look like “inserts” vs paint/ink. Looks kinda weird, I agree.
