I got a brick off AceKing because they're borderless and dirt cheap. Actually playing around with them, I was impressed, initially. They actually fanned pretty well and were good for anything I wanted to do.
Then I tried another one (Golden Nugget deck with a gold back; actually quite pretty). Amazing; it felt great, perfect fan, perfect faro, instantly one of my favourite decks.
Then I busted out a third; a turquoise Iron Horse deck... horrible, clumpy sticky and felt like cheap cardboard in general. The 4th was in between; not too bad but not good either. What is going on with these decks? How can some be so good and some so bad?
They look identical apart from the casino branding, they've obviously been printed at the same factory. What gives? Anyone else tried these cards?
Don't get me wrong, I'd happily drop another $20 or whatever for another brick if 1/4 of them are as good as that nugget deck but I don't get how the quality is so massively variable.
