Bought a brick of those cheap plastic decks from Amazon, big mistake

I saw a deal for 12 decks at $18 total and thought I was saving big for poker night. First game and the corners started peeling after two shuffles. Half the decks had misaligned backs and one was just totally missing the ace of spades. I ended up tossing the whole brick in the trash and losing my $18 plus the hassle of telling my buddies to bring their own cards. Has anyone else gotten burned on those bulk mystery decks?

Eh, I've actually had fine luck with the cheap ones for camping trips...

Bought the same garbage once. Learned my lesson the hard way. Now I just grab a couple packs of Bicycle from Walmart for like $5 each. They last way longer and actually shuffle smooth. Throw the cheap ones in the donation bin or something next time, don't just trash em.
