Sold 1,000 Card Pickup: Pre-USPC KEM Setups (1 Viewer)

Note - all are bridge standard index

Got these from @kmccormick100 's thousand card pickup sale. 10 football hours later I was able to get about 8.5 setups

4 3 2 setups in "good" condition @ $8 $7 + shipping
2 setups in "casino used" condition @ $5 $4 + shipping

Great deal for 2 deck of KEMs!

LOL football hours... Any differences between pre-USPC and current retail KEMs in terms of play, shuffle, feel?

Already had reached out to him for first dibs but I think he's passing.

Personally I have no idea. I have both types but I'm a rookie when it comes to cards so I would likely get it wrong.

The gap between the 2 isn’t as wide as it used to be. USPC Kem cards have a bad reputation. This stems from when they were reintroduced by USPC and had quality issues.

I have/had more recent Kems in my collection and I thought they were good. Prone to warping like all Kems are.

$7.50/set up is a fantastic price too. Edit: if you buy them all.

Will say no warping in these sets despite their use (hats off to @kmccormick100 ) only issues in these were broken off corners but I sorted those all out.

I do have a setup of warped KEMs (from a previous purchase) in excellent/vgc that I'll probably list later on.

I'll take one good condition setup.

One thing I do like about these Pre-USPC Kems is the green/brown backs have much more contrast than the newer version. I have had both and players have a tough time telling the difference on the Post-USPC version IMO.

are they bridge jumbo or standard?

Dude so much props to your whole life I cant believe you sorted through all those cards

Wow. Good price. I just bought 2 new KEM bridge standard setups from Amazon Prime for $27 and $29.

Are cards really worth that?! I'm sorry if this is an ignorant statement but I truly have zero knowledge on this

For good ones? Yes. I'd gladly pay $40 for a two deck set up that I really like that will last a long while.

What is the card equivalent for scrub donkeys? Card donkeys? @CdnBeerLover and I are probably the biggest ones.

@Milo013 is one of the masters.

This man knows of what he speaks

Unfortunately, I am a card junkie too. I have boxes upon boxes that will probably never get opened. @desjgn are my new go to, but these KEMs are a terrific price and are great cards too. @Old State is a major card junkie that knows his stuff as well.

I think so. $28 for 2 decks. My current set of KEMs have lasted us 2 years with no signs of wear. Bicycle cards last one session. So for me, KEMs are not only much better quality but cheaper in long run.

I actually cannot stand bicycle cards

Fournier, Dal Negro textured back cards, and desjgn, FTW. Even Copags and Kem's feel cheap after handling those. I give Bicycle cards to my son to destroy.
