A warning on A-Plus plastic cards

We were playing with one of my 3 setups last night, and I could tell the rank of most cards [2-10,A] well over half the time. I don't know if this is a problem that takes a while to generate, but with the right lighting it was not difficult to see this on the reverse.

I had the exact same problem with my A+ cards a few weeks ago in a game that I was hosting. If you hold the cards flat at roughly eye level, it seems like the ranks/suits just pop up off the back of the cards. Obviously, this made me a little nervous as I was hosting, but I took the setup out of play immediately and brought out the Copags. I'm certainly glad somebody else didn't notice it first.

I had the same problem with my A+ cards I bought about 6 months back.

Oh, and I did immediately point it out via demonstrating to the other players that I could see the pips. I am a very trusted host in this game and no one else had noticed it. I doubt I would have noticed it if I had not seated with the cards between myself and a light.

The cards were immediately pulled and replaced with my Poker Size kems, which everyone preferred anyways because the flop is so monstrous. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
