Super Magnum Index Card

[jerseypoker]

Anyone know of where I can find a good price on plastic (KEM, Copag, etc.), preferably bridge sized, cards with this type of index?

This is what I'm looking for:

I'm sort of assuming that these cards aren't for you. But maybe not.

My father in law is very sight impaired but loves poker (and to lose, it seems). I tried to introduce a deck of these mega-index cards (not Kem or Copag) and he didn't want anything to do with them. He prefers to have the board cards read out to him and to struggle through seeing his hole cards. He is definitely at the vision level that these cards were designed for but he just flat refuses to use them. So we use the standard large-index cards and, as I said, read the board cards, often repeatedly per hand. Oh, we also lay the board cards directly in front of him and he will sometimes get down and squint at them.

BTW: The deck I tried also used a four-color scheme with Blue and Green for two of the suits. Nobody at the table liked the odd colors.

We play a self dealt game on an 8 foot holdem table, and I figured this could help with seeing the cards easier from way accross the other end of the table, and would discourage any sneaking in of cards...

I think reading the board cards out everytime would drive me crazy! The game must go ulta-slow even for a home game. I like the 4 color cards online, but I saw a pic and they do look weird and would prob take some time getting used to.
