Binion's KEM from WSOP--asking a question

pokertvstar · #1 (**permalink**) 03-28-2006, 10:35 PM

no, i am not selling any, so sorry if I misled anyone. Wondering if and where these might be available. Anyone seen them sold before? talking about the 2004 cards, before they went to the Rio.

Have never seen them listed on ebay or anything of that nature.

Thanks in advance.

They come up every once in a while. In fact you just missed one:

Not sure what you mean by "any good", but they ARE the original KEM's...not the USPC KEM's. I have a couple decks of the original KEM's from a different casino and they are great cards.

I think if I bought these cards and spent that much money on them, I would be inclined to NOT play with them and put them in a case or something for a collectable.

What I meant by "any good" was would anyone use them for a home game, until they were unplayable, and then retire them to the case (or frame).

I couldn't spend money like that and not use tham at least once. I would prolly use them until they were just about done, and then make a frame (or several) for sale.

Those were both for sale by the same guy.

Either add him to your favorite sellers and have eBay notify you when he puts new items up for sale, or contact him directly and see if he has cards to sell away from ebay. Although this violates ebay policy, you might be able to get a discount, since he will save ebay listing and final valuation fees.

I'm not sure if you have played with or own any KEM's, but if your intent is to play with them "until they were just about done", you may be waiting for a while. KEM's can literally last a lifetime.

I own a few KEM setups....was saying that since they are warping (at least in this sale they appeared to be), there may not be as much life in them as a new deck.

That's all I meant
