Got my KEMS today. Please take a look? WTH is that?

ricochet,
im curious, what is the grain like on the plastic? is it like a horizontal wood grain lines along the card?

just curious because i have a set of green and brown kems same design, they are more like blotched grain. they are thick. i am thinking that they are vinyl.

please help me figure out. also, what does your Ace of spade say? mine is 687 meaning made in 1987.

THANKS

I care. If you don't care about stuff like that, I've got a boatload of "brand new" stuff to sell you.

Who cares, its the joker, as long as the others are clean should not matter. That is as long as you dont play jokers will games.

yeah, they are kinda like wood grains going from side to side, more like palm prints in that they are wavy. They say C101 on them, I'm guessing that means January 2001?

USPC (KEM) can't even get the ink to stick and had to ask the old printers from the real Kem to help them and who knows if they will do that. Which might mean never serving the public with cards of same quality or worse never producing cards again.

i just heard this from another msg board. can this be true? anyone know anything about this? not good news if this is true.

I tried to check my jokers to see if they had anything written on them, but last week during Arts & Crafts me and Howard Lederer turned them all into homemade cut cards [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well for starters I have a "brand new" deck of Red/Blue Casino Club Bridge size regular KEM playing cards. I have a TON of Hoyle and bicycle poker chips the real nice half gram ones, I have some handmade Cuban cigars, I have a bunch of autographed stuff. etc...
