Custom Playing Cards:
Card Stocks

The two main choices of playing cards are the same choices one gets at a grocery store; paper or plastic.  Card stock paper is much stronger than most paper stocks, and it has been used for a long time.  A lot of players that have been around for a while prefer paper cards, because that's what they were raised on.

 Plastic cards are more durable than paper cards. It's as simple as that.  They last a much longer time and their corners do not tend to bend as easily.  Many players also believe plastic cards are easier to deal, because most of the best brands don't stick together.
