Cards

[Runner-Ref]

What do you use to wipe them clear? I've used them for the first time today, but not sure how to get them clean for tomorrow morning

Hairspray does the trick.

I think deodorant is also meant to work, but never ever did for me.

Has to be old school aerosol stuff. The new anti perspirant stuff doesn't do the job.

I'm not even that old I'm a lynx Africa kind of guy.

But actually what I do is buy the 50p cheap stuff specially for cleaning cards. I do find it to be very abrasive taking away the colour from the card around the edges.

Which cards did you go for?

The Ref Direct GOAT ones. They do seem pretty good quality. Obviously not used them properly yet, just cautioned a few family members and sent off my nephew.

I use the GOAT cards, very good quality cards. First pair of cards I used where they were actually yellow and red rather than a pale yellow and a ginger red

Am I the only one that quite likes the luminous yellow and red (borderline orange)

I think they are good if you are using card skins - as the 'red' red card is often quite dark, making it less clear to see. I prefer the brightness of the yellows in these packs, but do prefer the 'redder' reds of A&H style reds.

Yeah with ‘write on’ stickers, it’s easier to have a brighter card, like B&D sets. I don’t mind a darker red, as seen with A&H, but yellow just looks tacky when it’s that dark yellow (such as the sports direct sets). I much prefer a bright one, mainly because as a keeper I could never see the dark cards at the other end, but always the bright ones.

Which is obviously no good if I want to wave a card at the keeper from 70 yards away
