@RebelTaz, you can get new playing cards
I just bought a 12-pack from the mothership, but … what can a few more hurt? ![]()
Thanks!
I am asking a question about FONTS, about TYPESIZE, not a question about the size of the cards themselves. How big are the numbers and letters?.
these pictures show a “standard” deck label, it doesn’t say “poker” so I’m not sure if these pictures correspond to what is being sold.
I don’t care about the size of the cards, I care about the size of the font that the J-Q-K is written with in the corners. They do sell a variation called Jumbo where the font letters are really big. I need the letters to be small (to play games with a lot of cards in the hand needs a lot of spread)
I’ve purchased poker decks before and they frequently use larger font sizes, but the cards in the pictures on this item show small lettering. Are these pictures accurate?
addition: you’d think if you make clear you are asking about FONT SIZE people would answer about font size. It is natural to think “oh, bigger card size, bigger hand size” but it’s not very true, close to a fallacy. the size of the hand is the size of 1 card plus the size of all the overlapping slivers you need to see the denomination of each card which is 100% font and 0% card size.
Hi there. These are being obtained from Amazon inventory so we don’t have a lot of information. Here it is on Amazon. There may be more information there.
They are. The “poker size” refers to the actual size of the physical card itself. Some cards that are not “poker sized” are slightly smaller than a standard deck. The images are accurate for what I received before.
As I recall “Bridge size” cards are slightly smaller than standard poker-sized.
The term “Bicycle standard size” and “poker size” are both commonly used to describe the most widely recognized and sold dimension of playing cards in the United States.
Here is a breakdown of the terminology and size:
Card Size Comparison
| Term | Dimensions (Width x Height) | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|
| Poker Size (Standard) | 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches (63.5 mm x 88.9 mm) | Poker, Bridge, General Use, Magic |
| Bridge Size | 2.25 inches x 3.5 inches (57.15 mm x 88.9 mm) | Bridge (the game), Canasta |
So, if you are looking for a standard Bicycle deck, you are buying the poker size.
