Kem cards are great
As I stated in my review of my other set. These are the best cards. Nothing feels like them. Downside outrageously priced. Also to keep them from Boeing which is a huge concern for these types of cards. You have to store them face up in the container with a weight on top. I use dealer buttons. I put cut cards over them so I don't put an impression on the card. It also sucks that they don't have the plastic case anymore for what you're paying. You get cardboard case

Missing the "hard black plastic Kem box".
Not as advertised on Amazon - "The cards come in a hard black plastic Kem box"The cards actually come in a flimsy cardboard box. Not a show stopper, but not what was advertised. Amazon - wake up and update the listing!

Smooth shuffling cards
If you play and shuffle cards regularly you will immediately notice how different (nice) these cards feel. They are just a shade thinner than other plastic cards and shuffle like a dream. If you haven’t played with 100% plastic cards before, you may want to look for cheaper alternatives. In fact, I would encourage you to start with cheaper cards so you can fully appreciate the difference when you make the step up to KEM cards. Only then will you fully understand what makes KEM the absolute best playing cards on the market.

KEM's for life.
This is my 2nd deck of KEM's and the last time I had a purchase a set was in 2003. I am perfectly content with a 7 year shelf life for playing cards. I have played with Copag's before and these remain my personal preference. Suffle and deal once and you'll be sold on them. They are crisp, smooth, and endure the wear and tear of tournaments and drinking games alike. They are not indestructible, but their durability is what makes them worth the price. I finally had to retire my first deck after the ace of spades started to fleck off a bit and one card got a slit along the side (after 6-7 years of respectable use). You can re-order individual cards but I felt it was just time to get two new decks. I agree that the plastic holder they come with leaves something to be desired, but I found two great hand-made wooden card cases on-line from Thailand. Give up the paper cards and these will pay for themselves over the course of a few years (or months, depending how often you play).
