KEMS on Star Trek TNG (2 Viewers)

[upNdown]

i caught an old episode of Star Trek TNG last night (the one with Kelsey Grammer, incidentallly, which ties into my Cheers poker chip post) and they were playing poker as they often did. Honestly, I think the sound of these cards caught my attention before the look - know how you can identify good plastic cards by that raspy sound?
Anyway, lo and behold, they were using KEMS. Obviously not by accident. There must have either been a poker enthusiast on set, or maybe (I prefer to think) somebody asked, what cards are likely to still be in use a few hundred years from now?

You had me at Star Trek TNG.

Big Star Trek nerd myself. Not costume convention wearing nerdy, but close.

Gotta love the time loop episodes

Regular index. I guess that answers that question.

Data is dealing those cards with that mechanic's grip. He's about to start dealing seconds and nobody is going to know any better.

Ha! Nice catch

Before I settled on the Deadman’s Bay theme for my relabel project, I toyed with a few iterations of these.

I’m a fully closeted Star Trek geek. I could never come out with a set like that.

I have a plate. So owning that set wouldn’t have even been the geekiest ST:TNG thing I own.

Any close-ups of the deck stub to see if they are warped?

Personally more interested in a blow-up of the chips......

I’m just hoping by the 24th century someone has figured out how to solve the warping issue.

Awesome. It all pretty much applied to the game is this episode (Cause and Effect) - they were playing 5 card stud, Riker was making the same string bets, bet sizing was awful all around, somebody, I think Worf, folded saying “too rich for me” to a maybe min bet into a big pot, and he folded by flipping his hole card face up onto his other cards! Michael Dorn doesn’t play poker.

Of all your awesome chips, those STTNG ones were the most tempting to “harvest” when I was at your place

My question is where the hell do you get those oversized Lady Luck Club samples....must be 53 mm..........

 

[Jeff]

I have a contact 56mm mgk for the win

The spots on the $100 are my favorite and so wonderful. I love BCC when they were doing that kind of work!

 

[FDLmold]

There are 14 of those Hilton Star Trek chips, from various years. For a recent $5 chip, they are very expensive.

 

[Jeff]

I only have 1 year. The year before was Spock and Kirk.

Warp drive is powered by warped kems.
