Kems vs Copags (AGAIN?? Yes again)

[ky70]

PanthersHUTCH15,
I'm REAL interested to hear what you think since you already have the Kem's and the export Copag's for comparison...I finally get to find out if I'm crazy

Oh, I just ordered a backup signature Copag set too...these will only be inspected to see if they feel the same as my first set, but I will then put them away until my first set runs out of gas...hopefully they won't see any action until 2006.

I got tantan down for a 2 card sample...I need one more taker

Ky, They are here, and you are not crazy!!

These feel significantly different from the export copag's that I own. The super index is a little bothersome to me, but I can give up the regular index for a better feeling card. My initial impression of them from briefly playing around with them is that they are superior to both KEMs (my arrow's) and export copags, especially for the difference in price between copag and KEM.

They are just in time for my home game tonight, so I may follow-up with what everyone else thinks and if my opinion changes and the super index proves to be too annoying..

I recently purchased some cards from kardwell and I noticed that the Kem Arrows were made by U.S.P.C. I haven't heard anyone else mention they've gotten the new Kem's, but they look good to me. They came in a plastic case and the cards look better than my older Kems. Specifically, the black is darker. I also got Germaco and Dal Negros and everyone likes the Dal Negros because they aren't splippy. They are a little stiffer and at first I didn't like them, but now I think they might be my new favs.

i just spotted copags on the partypoker championship. championship may be wrong, but im sure thats the name. it involves a series of 6 player single tables playing down to a winner who progresses, im guessing in a double shootout format. it was a 14K buyin if anyone wondered. didnt say if it was £s or $s, but im guessing $s.

absolutely dire show, but there in all its 'glory' was the As with its copag name clearly visible.

so its not true to say that no major tourney has ever used copags.

Please do follow-up. It's great to hear that someone shares my opinion about these cards. Thanks for the confirmation and good luck at your game! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Used them tonight and everyone loved them....My friends all said "these are better than the others" in reference to the copag export cards, and they didn't even know they were both made by copag.

The super index was not too bad, but I definately prefer regular index.

The cards weren't too kind to me, however, but I managed a 2nd place finish...

Thanks for the info about these ky, I would have never ordered if you didn't speak highly of them. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I am glad to hear someone else shares my like for GEMACO cards. Forget the others, these are used in the casinos (I have seen them at palms, foxwoods and venetian) and are the real thing. They are great, they deal easy and slide smooth. You can really bend them in 1/2. I have some Copag and they were OK. The ink wore off the back, but they felt ok. KEM has been a mess for 2 years and USPC won't make them any better.
