I'm about to pick these up, but can't find any information about this KEM card. Is this legit? Would appreciate any Insight.

That font is older. I don't want to guess, but if they were made this century it would surprise me.

I saw something on Chiptalk about them. Def. pre-USPC, but I'm trying to find out if wide or narrow. If narrow, I'll grab them thnx.

 

[Mikiethebull]

. . . considering the size in proportion to his hand in the pic, they must be narrow.

 

[FDLmold]

Definitely narrow.

Another image - I know it's hard to tell in a pick, but these do not look poker wide to me.

 

[Mikiethebull]

Thanks - I ordered them. I think they were made sometime in the '90s. Just odd that there is so little info out there on these.

I had an unopened deck of these. They're bridge sized IIRC

That design was made in both narrow and wide. Those are narrow 100%. 10-11 "flowers" per row. Wide has 12 flowers in every row. Good luck with them, here's hoping for minimal warp.

The pic shows copyright 1986. Ace of spades will have the production date code.

Thnx. - When I received these, they were warped big time, so back they go.

1980s? All my 90s cards are dated.

Copyright dates don't usually mean anything with Kem cards. Use the date code on the ace of spades, it will tell you the card production date.
