At 2 to 3 times the cost of a deck of Bicycle jumbo index cards, these may seem expensive, but if you play regularly they are really a bargain. It depends on how fussy you are; some folks don't mind worn out cards. While a deck of Bicycles may last through 5-10 hours of play before a card is bent, marked, or the deck is just worn down, the Copag deck can last for 100s of hours.

I have played with the same decks of Copags in monthly poker tournaments, each lasting 4-6 hours, for more than 4 years. I've yet to replace a deck. While the Copags never crease or mark, they will get sticky over time just from skin oil and ambient dirt. An occasional (annual for me) swish in a sink of soapy water takes a few minutes and restores the cards to their original feel.

The nice plastic case is a plus - it also shows no wear after years of use and presents the cards as new every time. The cards never soften, retaining their crisp feel for easy shuffling. The cards themselves are sharply printed with a clear and clean jumbo index design. Beware of off brands where you don't know the face design of the cards - I have been stuck with "bargain" decks where the "fancy" typeface made the cards nearly illegible! If the feel and appearance of the deck is important to you, invest in the Copags. They will look and play like new indefinitely.

these r very nice cards i own a set of kem and these r just as nice

Please don't flame me, but I like these cards better than Kem. I have both and, while the Kems are nice, these are a bit stiffer and feel (at least to me) a bit more comfortable and sturdy. I would give the Kem cards 4 stars, as they are durable and work fine, but feel a bit too flimsy for my taste.

As a side note, I find that I am leaning more towards the large index over the standard index - it's easier to see the board when you're sitting at the far edge of the poker table.

All in all, I find that the Copags are a bit easier to shuffle, deal, and handle than the Kems.

When I first opened the Copag case and started shuffling the cards, I just kept saying, "Wow. These cards are that great."

They shuffle so smoothly and easily. I brought these cards over to my friend's house and asked my buddy and his wife shuffle them.

When Christie started shuffling, she looked up at me and said, "These cards feel great."

I've never played with 100% plastic cards before and I can't go back to paper cards again.

You need to get these Copags if you play poker or any other card game.

These cards are great for playing poker, very durable and good price. I recommend them.
