Paper Or Plastic Playing Cards?

This is your most important decision when choosing a deck of cards. Plastic-coated paper cards have one significant advantage, they are inexpensive to purchase. If you use your cards sparingly, and you are gentle with them, you can expect to get many hours of enjoyable use out of them. Paper cards do come with some disadvantages though. They tend to crease, bend, tear, and show signs of wear rather quickly, and cannot be easily cleaned without damaging the cards.
If you play often, 100% Plastic playing cards offer important advantages over plastic coated paper playing cards. You can expect 100% plastic playing cards to last many times longer than paper cards, perhaps as much as 50-100 times longer. Although the initial cost of plastic playing cards is noticeably more than paper cards, $15-23 for a two deck setup of plastic cards versus $5-7 for two decks of paper cards, you will actually save money over time by investing a few more dollars in 100% plastic cards.
