I am extremely fussy when it comes to the playing cards and these are simply the best cards I have
handled to date.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are printed by the U.S. Playing Card
Company. They are nothing like bicycle cards. The paper stock is completely different. First of all
the cards are perfectly flat instead of slightly curved like most other USPCC stock. It feels like a
crushed stock since the cards are slightly thinner than normal and very dense. Despite being thin
the cards are sturdy and have a wonderful spring to them. They fan well and gliding cards under a
fan is extremely smooth.
The edges of the entire deck are smoother than most but quite
sharp individually so that it is easy to tell exactly how many cards you have under your thumb.
These cards were ordered along with ten different decks from various sites, some of which were
much more expensive, and after handling all pretty much equally the Cherry Casino's have kept their
shape the best. The best quality of all is that if you are holding the deck for long period of time
the bottom or top card does not change shape due to the temperature difference like most decks.
It would be a tragedy if these ever go out of print so hopefully they will keep making them and
with the same high quality paper stock.
