Hope someone can help me.
Was quite happy with my little cards - untill.....

I noticed on another pack of cards the size difference was minimal about 2mm, however on mine its more like 5-6mm, noticably different.
Both are on bicycle stock but brought from different places.

Will it make much of a difference??

Thanks

The short cards in one of your sets are 5-6mm shorter than the long cards?

Erm...I'd speculate that would make a massive difference, in terms of a spec being able to catch onto the secret, just from the visual look of the deck.

It's very odd to have such a big size difference, and I'd be tempted to bin this deck, unless the descrepancy is intentional for some other purpose!

it looks like it has been a normal deck/s and just had the ends lopped off as the back is not symmetrical.
The other deck is not so bad.

Typical was lucky to get a three of hearts deck and its bummed !

Ah well spares or repairs i guess then !

Thanks

Was the deck new when you got it. Casino's alter decks once they have been used and sell them, but it is usually pretty clear that they are not new. Usually will punch a whole in them or clip the corners so they cannot be confused with new cards. I've never heard of them lopping off an entire edge, but then I'm not a casino kind of person.

Other possiblitity, did you get the deck from a 1.00 store or the equivilent? When bicycle runs thier lots they go through 3 cycles. The first and second cycles usually go to the discout stores because the quality is poorer then the mid run. But it is usually not a difference in the cut of the card, usually the printing is not square or faded or just not quite right.

Nope - new and sealed and £6.

Not a happy bunny !

Still when i get a proper deck will be a lot easier as ive been doing everything well with a numpy deck. Every cloud and all that jazz.

Short cards shouldn't be more than a couple of mm's shoft of the long ones ideally. Sounds like you got a duff pack and I'd send them back.

Don't settle for £6 of rubbish and if you don't let the supplier know then the next poor so and so will also get a duff deck.

by an a5 trimmer from Rymans - £12...never buy a short deck again...or a svengali...
