Review on 🃏 Apostrophe Games Blank Poker-Sized Cards (Matte Finish, 2.5" x 3.5") - Ideal for DIY Projects, Flash Cards, Board Games, Study Guides by John Kennedy

The package I received contained four packs of 50 cards wrapped in cellophane. The paper cards are the same size and weight as a cheap deck of poker cards I have (the only difference is that the playing cards are coated). The blank cards have a matte finish and seem to hold the ink fairly well without running. I use a variety of pens with these cards - Sharpie permanent markers, Uni-Ball metal gel pens, and assorted markers. The gel pens look great and the markers work well too. These cards hold up well to light handling, but will eventually crack under heavy use. For what I use these cards for (flashcards, random number generators, art card pieces) they suit my needs. I will probably buy more of these markers in the future. The only markers I had trouble with (that I tried) were the Sharpie brand flipchart markers. The ink from them pooled on the surface of the cards and smeared. The markers are also a bit smudged, but I love the watercolor effect you can get with them on these cards.
