My review for Gemaco classic cards |

Hi everyone. I just received my Gemaco 100& plastic classic wide regular index cards. I ordered a 2 deck set ( 1 red and 1 blue)
I am currently using the blue deck right now. The cards have a white border on the back. They came in a nice plastic case that holds both decks, plus a cover that slides over top when not in use.
The cards are really nice to play with. They shuffle beautifully, and they really keep their shape. Also they really stick to the table compared to my old plastic coated cards, which would get bent out of shape after just one game. it is like going from a Pinto to a Lexus when comparing the old cards to the new ones.
I shuffled these cards and then my old plastic coated ones ones back to back and the old ones were like shuffling pieces of wood, they were so stiff compared to the Gemaco's
The Gemaco's feel a bit rubbery, almost like they are made of rubber instead of plastic.
I am now looking for a PVC case to carry single decks in instead of having to carry both decks at once.
all in all I am very happy with the the Gemaco's. I wish I would have went to plastic cards sooner.

Tim, you can find plastic cases that are perfect for holding one deck at any card collecting/hobby shop. I got some for a few sets of baseball cads that I had and found they work beautifully for playing cards as well.
Thanks for the review also. I may have to order some of those.

Thanks wench. I will have to check out some card/ hobby shops in my area.
I did find a store that sold some real nice acrylic holders, that came with some cards, but I didn't buy it because I don't need any more cards.
I tried to get the store to sell me just the holders, but they wouldn't.
