Based on CdnBeerLover's recommendation (but have also read elsewhere that they were nice), I picked up a set of Forunier Congress Bridge Size Jumbo Index cards from eBay last night (

Will let you know how it turns out.
Also, my order from Caragails arrived. Picked up 1546 Copag, Desjgn classic victorians, and Modiano club decks. Played a few orbits last night with my "imaginary" poker buddies. Bastards made me deal the entire time.
First impressions, the Desjgn deck is really nice. Verdict is still out on the Poker Size cards as I am accustomed to bridge size since the casinos use them. I definitely prefer the jumbo index / large index over regular though. Slide very well on the felt.
Yes, the Modiano's are thicker which is nice but one thing that stuck out was how visible the "fibers" were. Probably not describing them well but they felt rough because the cards aren't smooth. I think this is one of the reasons why they didn't slide very well on the felt.
As for the Copags, everyone seems to rag on them but this deck looked nice, felt nice, etc...yes, a bit thinner than the others. Maybe others were complaining about the longevity of the cards. Time will tell. Again, slide with no issues on the felt.
Looking forward to the Fournier Congress cards.
