The intent here is to set up a cardstock guide with deck examples...

for starters:

BRICK - super thick, super glossy, cards stick together

decks - Vampire Tarot (Robert Place)

----------------------

anyone want to chime in?

This is an excellent idea you had Rhinemaiden. I'm going to find my digital caliper and do some actual measurements of the thickness of some of decks I have. That way we can compare the "feel" of a deck to the actual thickness. The lamination might be a little harder to measure without damaging a card by scraping it off. I am rather hesitant to do that. But the relative thicknesses should give us something to go on.

I like the idea, as I pay attention to the card stock, it matters for me if it`s a nice feeling or slippery/flimsy pieces of paper.

Moderate shiny cards, velvety feeling, like butter almost - Rosetta tarot.

glad so many are participating here! As this thread moves along, I'll set up a chart and tabulate all the input for easy reference...

Dreamy cardstock; slightly stiff but flexible, slightly glossy, perfect in every way. The non-limited edition Flornoy decks, Noblet, Dodal

"whippy" cardstock; MRP decks (I've never understood what this whippy means but many use it as a definition so I suppose it should be up there.)
