***3/23/07 Update***
This group buy consisted of pre-USPC green/brown circleback casino KEMs, pre-USPC black/burgundy casino KEM's, USPC red/blue casino KEMs, and USPC green/brown casino KEMs. The order was placed through Kardwell and I think we totaled something like 130 set-ups (260 decks). The order was sent to me in 12/06 and all cards delivered to the group buyers in 12/06 and 1/07.

Some people with the pre-USPC cards complained that they got seconds instead of casino quality. I am in the process of making that right with Joe from Kardwell.

Phase 1 consisted of replacing cards for those that only had a few problems. The following people had individual cards replaced:

The3rd
RockStrongo
CTRounder
Dwight87
Shrtstp
EasilyFound

Those replacements were mailed 3/22/07 and 3/23/07. Joe sent them to me for free, and I covered the shipping back out to you guys. Hopefully, this will make the six of you "right". Please confirm when you get them in.

Also, Joe sent me a full set-up to use as replacements and then a few miscellaneous cards that had duplicate problems. As a result, I have some spare cards available if others need a replacement:

Green Circlebacks
Clubs: A, 2
Hearts: A, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9
Diamonds: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, J
Spades: None
+ 2 Jokers

Brown Circlebacks
Clubs: 2, 3, 6, 7, J, Q, K
Hearts: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, J, Q, K
Diamonds: A, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, T, J, Q, K
Spades: A, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, T, Q, K
+ 2 Jokers

If you were involved in the original group buy but missed phase 1, I will send you replacement cards, but you pay the postage. If you were not involved in the group buy, these cards are available for $1 each, with the intention that sales will offset what I have to pay in postage to re-ship.

Phase 2 is already under way for those that have entire decks (or nearly all of a deck) damaged/unacceptable. I will continue to take claims into next week, then I will send Joe a fax with a list of the problems. I assume that you will have to send me your ace of spades in Phase 2 to get a replacement, but I don't know that for sure. I also do not know what the remedy will be. I assume they will be replaced, but they may also be substituted (for, say, post-USPC casinos, which had almost no problems) or refunded. When I know the remedy and the replacement/refund procedure, I will let you know.

Once Phase 2 is over, you will have to deal with Joe directly for problems. I will be glad to confirm with Joe what cards you purchased as part of this group buy, but you will have to work with him to correct your porblems.

Hopefully we can wrap this GB up shortly. Any questions, let me know.

I think we have 50....
there are like atleast 6 that havent been accounted for, and he already has 40 counted.

[ronitonline]

I am almost positive we have 49 right now, I wouldnt be suprised if we hit 60 or 70, which I hope he can workout an even better deal where we might order EVEN more. hahaha

Can't believe I didn't see this earlier. Put me down for 3 setups. I'd like one of each except for the post USPC red/blues. I already have one of those.

Just out of curiosity does anyone just want the brown ones from the Brown and Green circle backs. I just want the green ones (dont get me wrong I'd use the brown ones but Green is the colour of our village hence we love green everything being patriotic and what not). I am willing to trade 1 of 1 with anyone who wants to make sets of brown/Brown circle backs. I have currently ordered two but will go up to 4 if people want the Brown backed ones.

Cheers

How can you use two of the same exact deck, you better make sure you have reply of real life or else you will be mixing cards all day long.

Wow, this thread sure took off in a hurry. I go away for two days and come back to find a whole new life for this GB. I have no problem waiting for another couple of weeks for these to happen. The only decision I have now is whether the five I already commited to are going to be enough. I seriously doubt I'll ever find KEM co. cards again this cheap . . . ever.

I may bump my order up to as many as ten setups now. I'll have to think about that and I'll send my payment in when I figure it out in the next couple of days.

Please put me for 4 setups of Pre-USPC g/b circle back. Thanks.

[UsIreland]

One word my friend. BlackJack. I have a ive deck shoe, would prefer to use plastic cards in it rather than those cheep plastic coated things I currently use. If anyone is interested let me know, if not sure there's no harm in asking.

Cheers
Ian

[HarrysAllOut]

I'm in.

Put me down for:

(1) Pre-USPC green/brown circle back
(1) Pre-USPC black/burgundy casino back

Thanks Wedge!
