Replacing damaged KEM card
Hey All:
A friend of mine has a pretty new setup of KEM cards, the exact same style/backing you see used in most every casino. I don't know the name or style, but it's the basic green/brown setup of 2 decks...the back is the concentric-interlocking circles.
Anyway, he accidentally had a single card damaged during gameplay (a true accident). Unfortunately, it's back is now clearly scuffed and thus it ruins the deck. Does anyone know of a place/repository/method to pursue getting a single replacement card? I'd hate to think one half of his $30 setup of KEM's are shot because of this....
Thanks in advance.

Well, since they are original pre USPC kem cards he is really shit out of luck. I would recommend trying to find a complete replacement set on ebay or something and scooping them up just for this reason. That is what I did. When news of Kem closing came out, I immediately bought several decks of replacement cards. So now for each style, I have one deck in play and a bunch of non-opened standby decks to use as replacements.

Re: Replacing damaged KEM card
Can't really help with a replacement, but http://www.chessset.com/kemcards1.html seems to have a good variety of the old KEM cards at pretty decent prices. Unfortunatlely the only Circle Back that they currently have is brown super index in bridge size.

More info...
Thanks for the inputs from everyone.
The specifics for my friend's situation is:
Brown deck, bridge sized, regular index (not jumbo). Damaged card is the Ace of spades. (go figure)
From the info above, I did find a set with a clear picture of the exact deck in question: http://store1.yimg.com/I/chess4u_1848_7874450
At this point, I don't really think it would matter for the face of the card if it matched (ie: jumbo index or not). Any single replacement that matched otherwise would do.
Again, appreciate everyone's feedback and assistance.
