Paper or plastic

Unread post by Kemu »

Hi guys, im new to flourishing and i was wondering what type of cards i should buy. ive seen plastic cards, paper cards, plastic coated cards and a bunch of differet finishes. im leaning towards plastic cards but i dont have any actual experience with them since i only handled old bicycle decks and crappy airplane freebes. does anyone know the advantages of plastic cards vs paper cards and the difference between the various finishes?? im looking for something that will last a long time and can take a serious beating.

Definitely paper, plastic is no bueno for flourishing. Cards are too bendy and don't glide on each other at all. Cards printed by the USPCC are the best in terms of stock and finish, and Bee decks are probably the cheapest and most durable option.
