You are right, I stand corrected. I ordered a couple of those as well. Let me take my bash bait to the proper forum. Carry on.
Heads Up - KEM Bridge Jumbo setups on sale at Amazon $20.52 (over half price) (1 Viewer)

- Start date
My decks arrived yesterday and was surprised to see that everything was never played and sealed as far as the inner plastic wrapping around each deck of cards. There was just no outer plastic wrap around the whole Kem box. The cards look to be in perfect shape to my uneducated eye. Looks like I may have gotten lucky. I have never played with Kems before so this is my first time experiencing them. Looks to be a good deal as far as what I received!
KEMs don't come with a hard plastic case anymore? I bought some Arrows about a year ago and it had the 2-part plastic case.
Depends. See posts #45-50 here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...lways-this-slippery.82699/page-2#post-1693964
That was a year and a half ago. Not sure if they were in the process of phasing them out and what the current state is.
Just thought I would post that I am satisfied with what I received from the amazon sale. I just got 2 setups of these and they are barely warped, if at all, in my opinion. They pass the "shuffle half the deck in upside down and put it on the table" test. Here is a picture of two decks shuffled with half the cards upside down. The (new to me) $20 Kems are the ones on the left, and the deck on the right is an old Bicycle prestige deck that is warped pretty bad on the short edge. So for me, this was a very worthwhile deal 
Wow I’ve never seen a Bicycle Prestige deck warp that much.Just thought I would post that I am satisfied with what I received from the amazon sale.

Were the KEMs you received fully opened or where the decks still in cellophane?
Decks were still wrapped in cellophane. Also, I went and looked, and my amazon order says they are new.
Oh, and those Bikes are probably 14 years old and were used by my kids for quite a few years before they warped. They may have been packed in a backpack for a hiking trip and/or stored in a hot car or something. They were good cards and worth what I paid for them in my opinion.
FYI there is one Used - Like New of the same item as the OP at around the same price if someone didn’t get in on it and want to take a chance. Free return, so not much risk:
Just go to the original link and scroll down a little to see the option to buy Used.

Price back down to $20.60...

My set up arrived over the weekend while I was away. Apparently the package was not perfectly sealed and sat in water on my porch . The cardboard box is pretty fucked as you can see from the warping of the paper pieces. The cards themselves seem like they are OK so I will just have to trash the box.

I'll check when I get back home.

KEMs are worth the "risk" of $20 if you're ok with cards possibly bowing after opening the cellophane for $20. They are hardly ever not usable - can't say the same for COPAG, whose faces literally rub off the card after a couple dozens hours of play.
This is a good deal for new KEMs no matter what way you cut it. They are buttery smooth and an industry standard. However, KEMs bow easily.

Yeah the kems I have do tend to bow a bit. Doesn’t bother me too though, I still really enjoy playing with them.
And I can same the same for the copada unfortunately….such a shame.

I bought a set up of these a couple months ago and GTG so far.
Just found Blue and Red for $22.93 so I just grabbed a set up of these, too. Just a few set ups left.
