I don't want to get into semantics. Some of those clay chips aren't 100% clay either. :D

All this speak for older-style kem cards.

That's funny because I have older-styled kem cards (pre-2002) and later ones and the ones i prefer are the older ones : the corners are rounder, the ink is not fading and not faded (dark in new ones looks like grey !), they are thinner and easier to manipulate, they are better at being bent and becoming flat again, they smell less. Oh and I prefer the AoS face from the older kem cards. it is far more impressing than the newer drawing.

Most of the people playing with me agree to prefer old style kem cards. You can tell easily if you deal with older styled cards or new ones by figuring :

- the 1-800 number on the newer ones
- the more rounded corners of the older ones
- printed "JOKER" for new cards and "J0KER" for older ones
- faded printing on newer cards - black looks grey

I played with a new set of USPC made Kem Arrows and I must say that they feel more like Royal Plastic Cards than original Kems. They were extremely thin and had a much rougher texture than my original Arrows.
To sum it up, they really sucked!

are you sure they are the new KEMS? where did you get them?? What is the price??? Are they as flexible?? Do they have as good of a "memory"??

They are not mine, but they are flexible. I know he payed $27 for 2 decks, but definitely got ripped off. The memory on them is not very good.

On second thought, I'm not 100% sure they are USPC made.
