Product Description
Perfect for a neighborhood game or a professional tournament. Cards measure standard poker size 2.5" x 3.5" and are made with Dura-Flex, a crease resistant material. Cards have a great feel to them and will last longer but at a fraction of the price of Kem cards. We only have a limited supply of these and might not be ever produced again so if you are a collector please buy these early before they are goneBicycle Prestige Plastic Playing Cards (Blue) Review
The Dura-flex cards are actually more expensive than Copag on a per deck basis, but fail to match Copag's quality on several levels.First is that these cards are much easier to crease than you'd think. I creased a card on the very first shuffle in my first pack. Take a joker out of a Copag deck and a Bicycle deck, and bend them both at the same time. You'll notice that the Copag is *far* more resilient than the Bicycle Duraflex.
Second is how they feel in the hand. It is a textured feel, but one that is very unnautral. Its supposed to feel more like a standard paper card, but I think they missed the mark on this.
Third, the cards have a noticable chemical smell to them straight out of the package. When you shuffle the cards for the first time, you notice that this chemical is rubbing off on your fingers.
Fourth, QC seems to be much lower, as I had to look at packs on the shelf to make sure that I wasnt getting a pack with a creased card. Maybe that is because the cards are made in China. Other card makers have made quality craftsmanship a point of pride, whereas I dont feel this is the case for this specific Bicycle product.
If this was a $4-$5 deck, I'd give it a higher rating. But since it is trying to be competitive as a "high end" deck of cards and not the "middle range" deck that it truly is, I have to rate it 1 star.
