Someone here had the same issue once, can’t remember what the outcome was. I’d return them if I was you.

Try using the search feature, maybe you can find the thread

They don’t look like my kems.

 

[JMC9389]

They either look fake or used to hell.

 

[british71]

In contact directly with Kem. Asked me a few questions which I answered via email, but no response yet.

That was me. I bought a large box of them on eBay and had to return them. The general consensus was that they were exposed to extreme heat.

I had a few KEM decks that looked exactly like this that were left in the trunk of my car during summer, it does look like it has got damaged pretty bad from the heat

Wow! Those look quite damaged. I would return, especially as easy as it is with amazon. I have ordered KEMs from amazon as well; mine were undamaged.

I had one deck do something like that, but they had been used several times over several years.

just got off the phone with amazon. will get replacement setup on monday 10-5-2020
if replacement decks are the same they must be bogus knockoffs. also sent pics to kem directly
waiting for a response from them. I would say that they are not damaged but printed on awful card stock.
thanx all for your responses. will post how replacement setup looks. I don't want anybody else buying these
if they are knockoffs from third world printer.
ps: these are a deadringer of photo Beakertwang posted

These were mine https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/kem-dont-understand-the-hype.25897/page-2#post-480380

thanx for the photo. excellent composition. mine look exactly like the cracked? one. both decks I got looked like your bad 3 of hearts.
Did you get one bad deck and one good deck in one shipment? I was on the phone with Amazon at 12:30am this morning and I will be getting a new replacement
setup Monday the 5th. Hope these will be OK. Will follow up when they arrive. Still haven't heard from Kem directly since I e-mailed them the same photos. I would really like to hear from them what caused the surface defect.

@british71 if those come up bad again try these https://www.naipeszaca.com/en/all-o...-poker-8420707405823.html#/26-back_colour-red I used to love Kems until I tried Fournier.

 

[british71]

I have a setup of Fournier 2826's on order with Amazon. Will take another few weeks to get here though
