Im looking at getting a set of KEM Arrow cards for my home game seeing as these royal cards are about crapped out.

Anyone know where i can get a pack? I'd like to get either the burgandy/green or red/blue set, but im willing to mix and match.

Im only looking for Bridge size regular index.

Thanks.

KEM's (http://www.nicetoys.com/newkemarrow.html)

Site says temporarily out...Might be worth a phone call.

Seen a few auctions that have said the arrows were discontinued, but this just may be a poor assumption based on the whole factory shutdown and move.

I suggest you order cards from someone other than KEM. Their production site is down for now and all the cards i've seen that came from them as of late are marked or at best, very imperfect. ME THINKS they are sending out decks of cards that were returned for replacement. Do a search, i'm not the only one who has noticed this as of late.

Despite gummy d's campaign to get everyone on 2+2 to stop buying KEM cards, I still recommend them. Obviously he got a bad deck or two and wants to "hurt KEM in a cash game".

But...

As for your original question. For the most part, ALL KEM decks are difficult to find. The Arrows have been virtually impossible to find for months. You may have some luck on eBay, but you will be paying a serious premium for the hard to find arrow decks. Last time I saw them they were listed at $60 from the one place on eBay that still had them.

If you want a KEM deck, go with a bridge size. They aren't that much different. The size difference is minimal.
Casinos use them, and so do I.

Check out a reputable eBay seller for the best deals right now. For the few styles of standard index which are still available, I've seen them as low as $16 - $17 for two decks.

Good luck. Make sure to shop around. If you don't find any KEM cards you like (price, etc.), go ahead and start looking at Copags. Most people love them as much (if not more) than KEM decks. Plus they are cheaper.
