| Paper or Plastic? Your cards? In your home games, do you use paper cards (cheaper) or plastic (more durable)? Don't get confused. Plastic-coated cards are paper. If plastic, please go to my other poll to specify brand. What is your favorite brand of plastic playing cards? Last edited by glworden : 1st April 2009 at 12:00 AM. |

| COME ON Everyone knows that plastic is better, more durable, and effiecient cards to use. I still have to admit their is a classic feel to the paper cards that i like at times aswell. But for the 2000 era you got to go with the plastic!! |

| re: Paper or Plastic? Your cards? poker A little while back I bought a couple sets of copaq cards and I love em'. Only got to use them once so far but they are so nice. The only thing I found wierd is that I figured they'd be a little thicker, I mean damn they feel thin. |

Most plastic cards are some kind of PVC. KEM's selling point is that they use cellulose acetate, which is claimed to be a better material. Modiano also sells a premium line called "Platinum Acetate." Quite a bit more money - and KEMs are on the expensive side, too. Is it worth it? I don't think so. Paper cards might last one or two games. Good plastic cards will last hundreds of games. Acetate ones might last hundreds or thousands of games, but they too will eventually show some wear and you'll want to replace them. I think you'd reach that point with acetate or standard plastic, so i think good quality plastic cards are the best value. Although if somebody wanted to give me a set of Modiano Plastic Acetates, I certainly wouldn't turn it down. We've been using a set of Modianos for three years now - and the cards are starting to fade. We would have spent hundreds by now with a new set of paper every week. The best deal around was when Trident was blowing out the Modiano Elements for 2 or 3 dollars a deck. Now I think they are completely gone. Does anybody know if the Tridents are avaialable anywhere?

| I don't like your poll, some vital options are missing, so I've done a less exclusive one: Plastic or paper cards, or no cards at all? |
