What other playing cards have the same thickness and density as a Bicycle Guardians

[CardMagicNJ]

Bicycle Guardian deck is one of my favorite decks out there to use. I'm a big guy at six foot 6 and my hands are very big and my fingertips are all calloused up from doing construction my whole life. I'm naturally rough and hard on my grip and I beat up the normal bicycle cards like crazy but these Guardians really hold up very well for me because well for one they're thicker and my big fingers it's just easier to do the double lift and they just are able to withstand the torture from my hands LOL. I hope you guys understand what I mean because when you hold the guardian deck to a next to a regular bicycle deck the Guardians are just thicker heavier denser more durable if you ask me. Anyway I'm going to try and locate more bicycle Guardian decks but in case I can't what other cards are very similar to the the specs of the Guardians ? Any and all suggestions are appreciated thank you

I think they're thicker than the Guardians but the Copag 310s are very thick and durable. But they're very soft and handle almost like a crushed deck if that makes sense.

Hey Antonio what's up buddy how you been yeah I know what you mean by the softness of it I don't know if you've dealt with the Guardians before but they do have a very rigid feel to them the way my hands operate I would tear soft cards up buddy I'll look them up anyways thank you so much for your suggestion.

The Copags are pretty durable from my experience.
I'm no expert but I think cards on casino/bee stock are more rigid and thick. The Richard Turner Gold Standard Bikes have a thicker and more rigid stock. I own a deck but I haven't used them much.

The print is just the standard Bicycle print. They cost about $4.

I'm pretty sure he gets them specially made for his card work(Traditionally cut, Bee stock, etc.) because he proved to Bicycle that he could feel the ink of the pips on the faces like Daredevil and they gave him a lifetime supply. Idk if the first part of the story is true but I do know Turner has a lifetime supply of his Gold Standard Bikes.

None-the-less man very interesting I'll check them out thank you so much you know whenever I get down on myself about performing any kind of magic he always Pops in my head because he's such an inspiration for me because he is probably one of the best car mechanics I've ever witnessed and he is freaking blind that just helps me to keep going you know

Guardians were printed back when USPCC made thick cards - now they are double and triple crushing their paper. Here is my web link for card thickness - hope it helps
