Agreed on both the artwork and the variation in texture. I did not like the old, slicker texture. I love the Classic Flourish / Classic Victorian texture.
I'm sure there is a reason. I would not assume it's anything that would apply to consumers like myself.
Fair point. I have a handful of KEM setups and they’ve all come in the flat boxes. But yeah, those vertical boxes could be a problem.
Once a week for 4-8 hours
I tried but the method didn't work, bowed anyway. I think more science needed.
Humidity is definitely important. Some trading card games cards have foiling on them, and this causes them to become pringles when they're in a place with different humidity than they were produced in. It's likely the same can apply to acetate.
I have a hard time believe you did this exact procedure and still had bowed cards. Are you leaving out part of the story ….like storing them in high temps, going from humid to non humid? Etc? I think I have 6 setups of Kems…12 individual decks…all stored this was without any bowing. Decks range in age between 2003 and 2019.
Climate where I live is quite variable. The wife fiercely avoids use of aircon too. So yes, house varies in humidity and temp. I didn't know about the clever storage tips until 18 months ago when I joined PCF. Was really hopeful I could once again enjoy kems without bowing. Opened a new setup but they began bowing during the game. Stored as recommended but continued to bow during storage. Sucks. I do have two more unopened setups. Perhaps I should conduct my suggested trial. But with the price of kems now I'm tempted to sell the kems and use the funds to buy 10 setups that do not bow.
Could work. But... Arrrrrrg I'd have to add another step to the rituals. I do miss the Kem feel though.
If you like the KEM feel but don't like KEM warping or pricing, than try Angel Acetate Poker from amazon.jp. No known issues with warping, fading, smell and they're a lot cheaper than KEM's insane pricing.
This might finally push me over the edge and buy a KEM setup provided I can find one at old price
Looked at that before, just did again on your prompt. Looks like they won't ship to Australia. Had to change my location to US for the search to even find them. Probably some way around this I can look in to.
Busted
The Japanese site take my login from Amazon?
No, you set up a brand new account for amazon.jp. You can choose to change language to english and the currency to dollars.
And we delivered too
Ok…just ordered two setups. I’ll report back
I think that in a few years I sell my few sets and buy apartament....
Colder than a witches toes?
I like them. I liked the older Clubs better but I love how they don't curl up or disintegrate in your hands =)
If you are referring to Kems…they often do bow if you leave them out or live in a humid climate. I have over 12 individual decks I’ve kept perfectly flat for 6-15 years simply by storing them upside down with a cut card on top and a cheap dealer button.
