[bigstu]

Found these on EBay when on Chiptalk.  Great price $10 setup $3.95 shipping multiple deck discounts.

Now what to do with my other 30 setups now that I play at Casinos 5 nights a week,..... and I'm not asking to form a line!

Am I reading that right? Fournier is now making cards for USPC? Or are they now owned by USPC as well?

From what I can see they're making them for the USPC.

These cards are actually Fournier Snowflake - see http://caragails.com/fournier.htm (4th setup down).

I believe that Fournier have been owned by USPC for several years now.

I love these cards.  i bought several for $20 from caragails.  they aren't too stiff like modianos and not too flimsy like copags.  they dont slide very much when shuffling.  they retain their shape very well.

the index and pips are the perfect size.  the number cards have the yellow rectangle that makes them look nicer.  the picture cards are detailed and nice looking.

they clean super easy and will not bow.  you dont have to worry about them warping under normal use.  $10 is a steal.

copags, while nice and reliable, are f-ing ugly.  the backs of the 1546 are disgusting and the faces are plain and unattractive.  the newer copag designs are ok but the faces are still butt ugly.

here are some random cards i pulled out of the deck.  each deck comes with two jokers and an extra card marked extra.
