gotta admit, i'm a bicycle guy all the way. mostly paper cards, but i do like to use the plastic cards for some rounds with friends when drinks are involved, don't wanna risk my paper cards in those rounds, and the bicycle prestige do feel really nice to me and a couple of my friends prefer them over other plastic card brands as well.

I find 100% plastic cards more expensive than regular paper ones. To me they feel better and KEM are the king

I really like your humor man - subbed!

I got some red bicycle presige from 2009, with duraflex! :)$9.95. shuffle nice but they just break if bent to much. The backs are also different.

Motorcycle 4colors(1999) The deck looks like a normal one except they added gray clubs and maroon diams to avoid confusion

I’ve always preferred paper cards because the usually handle better than plastic cards but I hate when they get warped and the cards are in even

I have fournier 2818, its my first playing cards and I love them! Yours look awesome too!

Modiano is sold under the name "Da Vinci" now. EDIT: I like the "Ruote" [sic] design-it's classy.

Good choice, vintage KEM is slightly different feel and the arrow design has been around since early on. I think the jokers are pixilated, because it's the same image from the beginning no update. Also the Ace has the mfg month and year stamped on it.

I bought a few packs of Salute paper cards at a Casey's gas station for $1.50 with the same joker as the teskyur, minus the border. They fan a little better though. There's a blue and red border, they are both cool.

I like the KEM backs the best (I actually love them), Copag 2nd with Bicycle & the Italian brand tied in 3rd. Kem has the worst jokers and it is a deal breaker for me as appearance is critical for me. I Like the Copag jokers best by far with Bicycle Jokers 2nd. I like the same ace you chose 1st with the classic Bicycle 2nd. BTW the old Bicycle premiums had a better back design IMO. I think they just changed to the rider backs in the past couple years. Great video, thanks. I don't mind the simple Monaco back design as it reminds me of Bee's backs which I love. Bees are top shelf for me.

I love the videos. I've been a poker player for 5 years and I am getting into collecting plastic cards, having a little trouble finding the brands I want such as gemaco in plastic(my personal favorite out of any cards used in the casino because of their snap and thickness) . Do you have a social media account I can chat with you on, or some websites that I can find the quality cards? I have a bunch of Copag because they're my favorite easy to find cards.

Faded Spade cards are my personal favorite you should review them.

I was giving my cards a shuffle and I got KEM on my fingers.

*recently bought 2 decks of Faded Spades cards and wasn't too happy. The court faces were GREAT, but the backs were too closely alike in colors and are hard to tell. I thought it was me at first, but THAT was the complain I got from the other players. Too bad, we haven't played with them at all.*

amazing video as always

This inspired me to pull out my old KEM (pre-USPCC) and the joker looks fine. That new image is so sad they ought to retire it and go with something else. Loved the KEM but they warped, keep them for sentimental value.

Need to put link in your description to check them out

Thank you so much for upgrading your camera 👌❤️‍🔥💯🌟

Great video! How do Faded Spade 3.0 stack up? I have some Kems and love them, but was thinking about getting another deck and really like the look of the Faded Spade cards. I have had Copags in the past and liked their value, but they faded really badly after a year or so of use playing poker (something the Kems haven't done in years and years of use).

In my opinion i think all of them are the best but about KEM joker im kinda agree why its weak but i dont use the jokers cuz im not a card jokers fan and i got teskyer and its probably the best plastic playing cards cuz you get Two decks for £10? Yessir and i think i prefer Plastic playing cards, USPCC and expert plaing cards because they feeling good yea Also if you want to know about COPAG box The purple one have yellow and blue cards The black one is standard red and blue

Why are we addicted to cards🤣🤣😩. I also rate the cards by faces , thought i was the only one🤣

That bicycle case tho 🥵

As you say the Modiano feel harder than KEMS, would you also say the Modiano are more durable and longer lasting? thanks

Great Video ❤

I like my modianos...but i could not score a bridge sized pack that wasnt warped when i got it, PVC has its drawbacks but its stronger against warping

I think KEM are rapidly pricing themselves out of the market. Their old cards were perfect back in the day and 'thee' best available, however, I hear the quality and durability has gone down in recent years while the price has gone wildly up, and impossible to buy in Europe. That's not good with China knocking on the door. Value for money tells me Copag are the way to go. Modiano had some concerns some years ago because their Spade pips were not sharp enough to be easily distinguished with the Clubs, this complaint apparently by pro players when sweating in their hole cards. Yes it's a thing. Loved the video though.

Copag is the best one in my opinion. I also love KEM and Bycicle

Like what you said.. ' i bought this and i was impressed so i bought this and this..😂' i saw your video and i was like ' O noo i found a new thing to collect beside my flashlight and knife addiction'

Prices are a bit different here; I'd love to have me a set of the best which are the KEM but their priced at €55,- here. Close second for me are the Copaq at €22,- from which i have a set and use for poker. And then followed by the Bicycles at €10,- a set, from which i also have a set; We use those every card game we play, sometimes including poker. It all just depends. One note tho: the KEM's and Copaq's are Bridge style cards and the Bicycles are poker style cards, which are a tad wider.

Could rank them in order somewhere in order to what you feel is the best through worst?

Interesting your mouse.

Great video bro

2:30 Bro, same thing, always confused with those boxes

I'm partial to KEM myself - best "flex" and overall feel imho, with Copag a close second. I have a set of DaVinci's which I think is made by Modiano, and they feel a little too stiff and plastic-y for my taste. Also, I'm not a fan of the "fat spade" pip design of the Modiano/DaVinci's. Anyway, great comparison vid. (edit: btw my KEMs came in a plastic case similar to Copag. Not sure why yours came in a cardboard box)

are there any plastic cards that have a sandy (not smooth) surface?

skip to @34:24 for what you're looking for, then go back and see why. :)

*back of the Chinese cards looks like a 60's kitchen counter* 🤣

I run a weekly home poker game and have for 10 years. we go through a lot of cards. I love the feel and look of some of the Modianos but they don't last. They crease and the ink rubs off easy. Kems dont feel as good but last a bit longer. Those bicycles are junk. The Teskyers are great for the price but I don't like the back design. Copags are the best. They feel great and last. Plus they have awesome colors. Blue and red get really boring. never tried the monacos.

Have you tried the Faded Spade cards? They’re the official WPT partner, and they use them at Aria, Bay 101, Seminole Hard Rock FL, Borgata, and a bunch of others. I’ve been playing poker for a living for wellllll over a decade, and I’ve found that KEM/COPAGs have always been the go-to. I haven’t gotten my hands on the Faded Spade ones yet and am curious. As of right now the Poker Sized ones are out of stock or I’d grab a set. Lmk! PS: I put my uncle on to real quality cards (was using those standard cheapies) as a gift and he loves them. I got him Copags just bc they’re my default and I’ve used them way more. I do like the KEMs, but the Faded Spades have piqued my curiosity.

Can you make a review of J Design poker cards? I have no doubt they're good, but the creator of the cards is very active in the same community that gives him all the positive reviews. So I can't tell how biased they could be :-)

My Bicycle Prestige cards started chipping after a week.

Man I wish I could handle cards Iike you do

So, Kem? I need a good plastic deck for family events. My mom loves to bend cards.

BOTH Value and quality wise I would choose all day everyday COPAG over KEM, especially at nearly half the cost it's a NO BRAINER imo!!! But it's rather strange how the former king of cards (i.e. GEMACO) have taken such a fall that we hardly ever see them around anymore whereas back in the 2000s they were the predominant cards used in the casino for poker, paigow and blackjack!!!

I bought deck of KEMs about ten years ago and I was disappointed in their printing quality, it was clearly offcenter. For the price they should be perfect. Feeling of the cards was nice but overall I was a bit disappointed. I have a feeling there was some other problem but I am not sure... don't remember well.

yea

I love the content, I’m all about support for our small community, but seriously please PLEASE get an editor. I’m subbed, I like, I’m not hating, it’s just so all over the place, repetitive, and just overall ADD. Also, can you try and refrain from doing constant dribbles? I mean there’s an occasional spring, but that is the most annoying way to test cards. Give us some tabled riffle shuffles, faros,Le Pauls, etc. Anyways, 👍🏼

i think you opened the colorful copags onpurpose

Request: KEM - Blue And Red Paisley Back (KEM has been around for 87 years!)

The Bicycle Prestige is made with special plastic if I know correctly.

Where are the Hoyles??? Lol

what about the Copag ELITE

I am always hesitant to buy plastic cards because of the colour fading.

*COPAG are superior!* I take it they're ALL poker size and not bridge size cards??

Copag is king and it’s not even close

What's the point in comparing them if they're all tied? lmao....you ranked them like they were your kids and you were trying to decide who to give up lol. "Oh 3rd is this one, no wait, its the best, but these are worse, but ya know, they're pretty good, so yea, they're first, this is second and these are .....wait....that one does have that, so maybe its #1"...🤣lol🤣....and I got confused a bit, are you colorblind? You said you couldn't tell the difference between the red and black in the one deck. Which would make sense if you were color blind, but otherwise, that was confusing lol. Overall a good video, keep it up! 😁

bicycle prestige, they got em at walmart and they are easy to steal. 🤘

I think your Kems are counterfeit. They should come in a plastic case. If you read the Amazon reviews, it seems to be a problem.

$70 from Amazon UK we poor limey's get ripped off

Not to be a dick, but why would anyone give a shit what a joker looks like? Longevity and feel are all that matters.

Plastic cards stick each other after a middle use

Modiano card is one of the best card out of all other manufacturer poker card. Stay far away from Copag.

Plastic cards are almost too soft!

It's hard to give an honest review when you're sponsored by competing company's lol, you can tell oh these are better oh no wait shit can't say that I take that back, oh but this is really cool because it;s simple but this is cool because it's the opposite, wow these feel so great see how they just fly out of my hand when i try to spring them pmsl, This is no review, it's CLEARLY a Paid promotion, for all of them . but fucking hilarious watching you trying not to be too honest or rate one over the other LOL

COPAG is garbage. They start fading immediately and in less then a year they look terrible. I tossed mine in the garbage at 7 months. Desjgn is about my favorite.

Plastic? Are you kidding me? If a deck has the word "plastic" anywhere on the tuck, or even if it doesn't but has plastic in the manufacturing process, it should be avoided like the plague. TWPCC's daughter companies like Legends, Expert, Hanson Chien and Dex have shown us that decks can be made to resist humidity just fine without ruining the cards by introducing plastic. Diamond stock with Diamond finish is what serious collectors should be reaching for - not plastic coatings or worse yet, plastic cards. Remember the outstanding NKW Cadenza marked decks or the Aquila decks? Diamond stock/diamond finish will never develope a pop and make even considering cards made with plastic to be absolutely inexcusable. I wish this wasn't the 1st video of yours I saw. I hate giving you a thumbs down on my first video but I have to. Don't ever review plastic cards.

So Bicycle changed the Prestige back design, if you search "Bicycle Prestige back" you see the original design and it was a bit more modern and had a white strip down the center with the traditional double cherub on bikes in the center.
