    Would anyone know how to get a hold of the Angel brand of plastic playing cards used for BJ (http://www.angelplayingcards.com/index_en.php)? Angel 98 I think they're called. They use them here in Australia at a few casinos and their website suggests they are also used at the MGM group, Venetian and Wynn group of casinos also. Given Australian casinos don't resell used decks, could someone in Australia get a hold of 8 used decks from any of the US casinos using the Angel 98 plastic BJ cards? I have a shoe of my casino's former paper cards, but since going plastic, their thickness has varied slightly and I just want greater deck estimation.

    I got a box of 144 decks for about $45 a while back, but they were not sorted by deck.

    WTF? Not sorted by deck? 144 decks of cards all mixed up? 144 x 52 = 7488.....You had to sort through 7,488 cards out into the proper decks? If you were able to sort out even 18 decks per hour (one deck every 3.33 min), that's still an eight hour day to sort those out....hardly worth the savings.

    Yea. It was a pain in the ass, but having all those cards made a difference in practicing to get the TC accurate.
    No pain, no gain.
