Need help here!
I started my first poker games with friend, just for fun, and destroyed my poker cards spilling beer and coke all over them.
Yes you can say it, I'm a disaster!
Now the problem is: where can I buy new cards,online?, good ones and possibly no cardboard ones? I heard about plastic ones.... :confused:

thank you for any help

kisses

I bought a 2 deck set of Copag. I love them. You can wash them off with no worries, bend them in half and they snap back straight.

Best part is for $1 you can get a replacement card for the one that is defective. Say someone really creases the :7d4:. You send $1 with the card and the back style you have and they will send you that one card. That way your expensive decks are not ruined because of accident. $1 vs the $10-$20 to get a new deck is worth it to me.

KEM cards are virtually indestructible. They are washable in case you spill beer on them, they don't bend or get marked. They are a bit pricey (I paid abourt $25 for two decks) but it's worth it for the mileage you get out of them.

Thank you guys!
Titans4ever nice to know you can have replacement cards.
t1riel sounds good, but geeez.. they are expensive!
I surfed a little bit around yesterday and like a lot Kem. But I also like Da Vinci and most Modiano Cristallo purple and green cardbacks that are on Modiano 100% Plastic Playing Cards. They are cheaper too. Does some of you ever heard of them? t1riel did you give them a try?

Please help me again, you are so kind!

Kisses...

I get mine from a local casino, used to be 3 for a buck, bought a whole bunch of them and once they get messed up, I chuck em.

The best cards are plastified extra weight triple thick cards.. (Dont know the good translation, in Dutch it's "driedubbeldik") They dont fly away on wind and are really usefull when playing at the beach on in gardens!

I personally like kim cards myself they are 100% plastic although watch them in weater the cold makes them very brittle!That goes for any plastic playing cards.They well ive heard they went down but i payed 50 bucks for two decks so keep them in a room temperature.They will usually last for years
