Quick verdict
The default card for a reason: the air-cushion finish shuffles cleanly and the decks hold their snap longer than generic paper cards. Two decks for five dollars also means one can live in the car. They are paper, not plastic, so a spilled drink ends the deck.
Two standard poker-size Bicycle decks, one red and one blue, each with 52 cards plus two jokers on an air-cushion finish that keeps them from sticking together during shuffles.
Family game nights, poker, rummy, bridge and a deck kept in a glove box or backpack.
Outdoor or poolside play where cards get wet - buy a plastic deck. Also skip them if you want jumbo-index cards for low vision.

The point here is quantity per child, not quantity per can: 42 one-ounce cans means every kid at a party gets their own color and nobody fights over the big tub. Buy it for handing out, not for a serious builder who needs volume.

Well made for the price and genuinely soft, with bean filling that gives it enough weight to sit instead of slump. It is a mini - eight inches is a palm-to-forearm toy, not a cuddle-sized plush, so set expectations by size.
