Well the where I got they had poker sized. But then again I went to the Walgreen's in the Empire state building.

Don't buy Pinloche cards. I made the same mistake. They aren't poker cards. You will find a few blank face cards (which is actually pretty cool to have blank faced Studs). You will also have several dupes. There aren't even 52 (54 if you include jokers) cards in the deck. DO NOT BUY PINLOCHE! Stick with poker.
-EDIT-
Wallgreens carries these cards.

So I guess someone bought Pinochle (Pinloche?) card... So it comes with blank cards...? Is that same with Bycicle Pinochle (Pinloche?) ?
Personally, I don't like Studs cards very much, at least the ones I've used... I didn't think they were that impressive of a card...

I'm not familiar with Pinloche, so I can't help you. However, I can tell you that the Studs do come with the blank face cards. I am also with you... I dislike Studs. I'm not a fan. However, some people like them for their thin stock and feel.

Walgreens is currently the exclusive distributor of STUDS. However, each individual Walgreens store is responsible for managing inventory. Often times the person(s) making the orders don't put a priority on making sure the poker area is stocked. Often they will only stock jumbos or pinochle decks.
Here's an often overlooked pro to Studs: the ample availability of pinochle cards means that if you force cards for an effect where cards are destroyed, you buy a deck of matching pinochle cards and you have multiple duplicates.
Also, Studs are thin so they tear consistently if you need to match corners or halves.

Stud cards are manufactured by Walgreens, meaning that you can find them at most Walgreens. If you can't find them, go look at another Walgreens. They're everywhere. Also, Pinochle is a card game that requires the use of all of those duplicates. DO NOT buy that deck if you think it would be like a regular deck. Only buy the deck if you want duplicates and some blank cards.
