Choosing the right bridge cards

Traditional vs. All-Plastic

What’s the Diference?

At Baron Barclay, we proudly provide a variety of card types, including traditional and all-plastic cards. The question is, which one suits your needs better? Several factors can guide this decision, with the tactile experience being pivotal. Indeed, many players harbor a strong inclination towards one over the other.

TRADITIONAL PAPER BRIDGE CARDS

The allure of traditional paper cards for many consumers is primarily driven by their lower initial cost. However, it’s crucial to note that opting for a less expensive alternative does not always translate to economic efficiency in the long run. The inherent drawback of paper cards is their susceptibility to wear and tear, necessitating frequent replacements compared to their plastic counterparts.

ALL-PLASTIC BRIDGE CARDS

Durability stands out as the primary rationale for selecting all-plastic cards. Boasting an extended lifespan, these cards offer a level of resilience and flexibility unattainable with paper cards, thus enhancing the shuffling experience. They resist tears and creases and remain unmarred by dirt, grime, and spills that would typically compromise a deck of paper cards, with the added advantage of being washable.
