Bicycle Prestige Plastic Playing Cards (Red)

I definitely am not a card expert but sure am a card enthusiast. Bought a few cards recently from Amazon and would like to leave my feedback. I bought Fournier EPT plastic cards, Copag plastic cards, KEM Arrow plastic cards and Bicycle Prestige cards. Off all of them i like the Fournier's best. They have a substantial feel, very thick and you can feel the quality. Dont know why KEM's are considered the best but these, to me atleast, are better. The KEM's are very thin in comparison. Also the cards are slippery but not on your hands. They have a very rough texture so holding them is very comfortable but the cards glide over each other effortlessly. These are made in Spain. The KEM's i found are similar in thickness and texture to the Copag's. The Copag's have the best packaging, very neat. They are made in Brazil. The Bicycle Prestige cards are also made in Spain, most likely by Fournier. They are similar to the Fournier EPT in touch and feel but not as thick.I think since Fournier is a European company and not many people in the US know about them they are not aware of the quality.To me Fournier's are better then KEM's. To others i can say this much, even if they are not better than KEM's they are atleast equal !!!!

I play a lot of poker with friends and was going through way too many decks due to normal wear and tear and spillage so I decided I needed to stop buying the cheaper decks that are only a few bucks. First I tried the see through plastic cards Bicycle makes, but those tore and marked up easily too. So I decided to invest in these cards. Well they are invincible! They feel like paper, but do not rip, bend, or mark in anyway. Also, they make shuffling a breeze. Invest the little more in these cards and you will save money in the longterm.

These are my favorite cards right now. I play a lot of cards and do a little magic. This deck is easily the best that I own. I will be purchasing a couple more in other colors if I can find them. Exceeded my expectations for this product. Other plastic cards I have owned were too thick and wouldn't shuffle the same as a regular deck of bicycles. These feel like high quality plastic, they don't shatter like some others, and the way they shuffle and deal is super smooth.

High quality playing cards as expected from Bicycle. Comparable quality to other popular plastic brands, somewhat underrated if you ask me. My only complaint is they are Rider Backs and the advertisement shows the original Prestige backs so I was expecting the original design.

These cards come with exactly what I wanted them for. They feel like paper playing cards, but shuffle much better and are very durable. Over time, these cards will become sticky so I had to soak them in a gentle solution, but this is only maybe once a month or so. I love the classic Bicycle design and these cards are perfect for the aspiring magician, professional player, or just recreational use. I highly recommend this.

Very nice cards to play with. Feel like paper, very easy to shuffle, etc. The problem is that I've now bought 4 packs of them, and none hold up very well. All four decks have cracks on the edges of some of the cards, or missing chunks. Didn't last very long. Nice idea for cards, making them feel like paper, but you still need to work on the durability.

I have owned three sets of these cards for three years now (there's a card game I play that involves three decks). I don't own any other decks of cards so I also use these for poker and various other card games. After three years of moderate usage, these cards have definitely stood the test of time. They are still pleasant to shuffle with and there is no bend (!!!!!) in any of my cards. They don't feel like plastic, but they don't quite feel like paper either. It didn't take me long to grow fond of the texture of these cards. I think originally these might have been more slippery than they are now. After three years, there is some slight fading - the color itself hasn't faded, but there are some TINY white spots on the front and back of all of my cards. It's usually only noticeable when I look for them.My one con is the case. I like it a lot, but the two black pieces of the case don't shut tight. I need the shiny silver paper that comes with the package to make sure my case stays closed. Otherwise, the case can very easily slide open. This is true for all three cases I own. But this is not a big enough con for me to knock a star off.

Great for card players - just a little slippery when new.
