Hey I’m 17 and am looking for a cheap holiday present for my bro who is in college right now. I know he loves poker, and he has a great set of chips, but his cards always get bent and frayed. I know this bothers him, so he would appreciate a good pack of cards. I’ve heard that really good cards are like plastic coated or something and are highly resistant to damage and bending and stuff. Anyone have any suggestions of where I could find such an item? Thanks!

Bicycle makes a plastic (not just plastic coated) playing card that should last. You can buy them in nearly any drug or discount store for about $5 a deck.

If your looking for really cheap ones go to a 99 cent store. If you are looking for better ones try bicycle.

u s playing cards make several different decks that would be great and last a long time.. Most magicians use Tally-ho type and ellusionist.com offers some high quality cards for magic, so poker playing would be good too.

If your looking for some really good decks I suggest Copaq. You can get a two pack for about $20. They are a little bit more than regulare decks but they will last for a really long time. I use mine about daily and they have lasted over two years.

I have a few decks of KEM Arrow poker cards. They are widely regarded as the best, and most durable. I have found a great site, homepokertourney.com, with indepth reviews (I’m not affiliated with the site)
