Modiano, Dal Negro, Copag...cards of choice

[hm17]

I have always enjoyed using COPAGs...great, pliable cards with interesting face cards and pips...recently I got a set of Modiano large index and DalNegro large index cards, which I thoroughly enjoy. Great feel, beautiful pips and layout, easy and silky smooth to shuffle.....certainly these cards give COPAGs a run for the money.

Modiano's have always been my favorite. I usually play with a 4 pip set to just be different from what normally gets used.

Mods are the BEST.    But Copags are among the best value on the market.

DD gave me a deck of modianos (thanks bro) and I think they are the finest cards I have owned. I do like Copags but their color is kinda meh and I have had a couple decks that were ruined by bleeding of colors onto backs of other cards in the deck.

I have sets of Modiano Platinum Acetate, Modiano Blackjack, Copag 1546 and J Design Classic Victorian but my personal favorites are Fournier 2818 and NTP Poker Blak Jack cards.  While I like the feel and slide of the Copag's I also like the feel and weight of the Modiano's.  IMO Fournier and NTP manage to combine the best aspects of the Modiano's and Copag's but without the weight of the Modiano's and the ink issues of the Copag's.  I have been rotating between these two set-ups exclusively for the last 4 months in my home game.  If you get a chance to buy one of them I think you'll like them a lot.

I've always been partial to KEMS... its what almost every cardroom in southern California uses, so maybe I'm just used to them and the feel, but I like them the best.

I love Kems, but I would rate Copag a very close second.  Given that Copag is about 1/2 the price, I have been playing them almost exclusively for the last few years.

KEMs since the USPC buy-out are no better, quality wise, than Copags.  And, given the price difference, I cannot see why anyone would buy them.   I still like Modianos best, overall, followed by Fournier.  Carta Mundi is finding a place in my steady rotation, though . . .

Easy one for me.

Hands down Modiano Platinum Acetate are my favorite.

Only issue I have with them is that for some reason they do not seem to slide as well as other cards on my current felt. I'm replacing the felt with a custom suited speed cloth so my one and only concern will soon be gone.
