KEM suck
Ordered my 2nd setup of KEMS. Currently playing a game of spades right now 4-handed. And nobody can hold these cards without bending them. These are all poker players and are all trying to be careful. The slightest bit of bend while holding them totally f*** them. Enough to tell what card is what face down. Do they return to normal condition after resting overnight? Will post pics later.

Re: KEM suck
Its an old story. KEM bought by another company in early 2000's and quality went out the crappah'. They continue to charge traditional KEM prices for sub-par quality cards. Stick to Modiano or Copaq. This is like when John Deere was selling their tractor mowers out of Home Depot. Way different product than what you buy at a John Deere outlet (yes I know, typically New Hampshire analogy).

Re: KEM suck
major warpage with use on these..... have deck that has held up great except for the warping... would pile stuff on them when not in use.. then when i use them again, within 45 minutes the warping is back.... this last time i sandwiched them between 2 plaques and clamped them for about 4 months, took them out for use the other night and they showed the bending/warping 3rd hand...... way over rated IMO....
which is disapointing with the way they hold up and are not showing other wear...
