The new tally's are indeed horrible. I do not know what they did, but they spread and fan horribly. They also refuse to faro because of the extremely rough edges. I have had 2 of the new pack and have thrown them away immediately because of how badly they performed. If you would like a deck that feel's like tally's used to, I suggest the 809 mandolins. I know I keep saying this in other threads, but it is because they are the only standard cards that still handle well.
