    Is there anywhere in Dublin where you can get either bicycle playing cards or Bee playing cards.

    www.specialdays.ie i think sell them. they have a shop in liffey valley and have loads of poker gear there. you could also try online at www.drinkstuff.com - they are very good, and deliver very quickly so if you're after more than one deck definately have a look there. If you want cards taht will last try

    http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=2082&title=4+Colour+Copag+Cards

    or

    http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=1784&title=COPAG+Poker+Playing+Cards

    they're both quality... although i think the 4 colour ones would make me go crazy!

    CONCLUSION: as nice as bicycle's and bee's are... copag is the way to go if you want long term value from them.

    I would very much recommend the copags. I recently purchased a 4 color 100% plastic deck, and the difference compared to "ordinary" decks is amazing. Not only more durable but "feel" much nicer.

    Drinkstuff is excellent (I have purchased some items from them, and they normally include a free gift for larger orders), but if you're thinking one or two decks then try ebay. I purchased my deck from them as it was (fractionally) cheaper including delivery. I think they were called the American Gaming Company or something like that. They delivered within a few days to Dublin.

    Those New KEM Mcaul, any use, had a chance to see them. Is it the same company or were they bought out. Im just askin as I need to replace a card from one of my decks and wonder if the 'order card' I got with the deck and NY address will still work to get replacements.

    Anything you know would be good

    KEM were bought out by US Playing Card Co last year and they have only recently re-launched them.

    The only KEM cards we previously stocked were the Casino cards (see the website www.specialdays.ie ) If this is your deck pm me with the card you require and I can take it out of the sample deck we have.
