Default Copag Cards- The Best.

Just got my two pairs of Copag (poker size) cards. They "Rock."
The price is wayyyyyyyyyy cheaper than Kem's. As a matter of fact, they're better than Kem's. Check out the site below.

This is not a Spam, just a suggested seller. Joe & Katherine Bowen, are excellent people to buy from. Fantastic sevice, good price, and fast delivery. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My regular game played with Copaq cards one week. We went back to Kems the next week. No one really liked the feel of the cards and, in our experience, they didn't hold up as well as the Kems. I'm not a Kem salesman or anything, I'm just saying we preferred them after trying the Copaq.

Regards,

Open the link and read their comments, "About Us." and the events leading up to selling Copag's.

They aren't better than KEMs.

Thanks anyway.

They are cheaper though.

By the way, this post belongs in a different forum. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Okay?

Then that particular seller has great a great shipping price. But I can still find KEM decks for around the same price as you are quoting here.

If "wayyyy cheaper" means they cost $1-$3 less with shipping, you're right.

Is it true that Kem cards can't permanently bend, so they last almost forever?

And if so, why do people buy multiple decks?

You can crack them if you are too rough with them.
They can warp if you leave them in damp conditions (can be corrected). They exhibit wear like any other product.

KEMs do wear down over time, but they should last a regular person a couple of years or more.
You *can* bend them from end to end, and they will pop back out. They might not be perfectly flat anymore though. You'll see what I mean if you ever buy a deck.

Basically, they can take a lot more abuse than other types of cards and will last a long time, but don't get crazy with them.

Also, another reason to buy multiple decks is so you can have two decks in a game at once. With one person shuffling and another dealing, the game runs much faster.
