 Great... June 11, 2010
Nicholas Bua (Long Island, NY)
I used these cards at a local card game. I immediately went home and purchased a pair. They are so smooth and easy to shuffle and deal. Great cards. In 10 years when these become unusable, i'm definitely buying more.
These are it! May 8, 2010

Best cards I have ever bought or played with. Saw them on TV's Hows It's Made
COPAG vs KEM April 22, 2010
RedBaron057 (San Clemente, CA United States)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've been playing cards for many years and decided to switch from Bicycles and Bees to cellulose acetate plastic; ie: KEM and COPAG. I purchased one set each of KEM arrows and COPAGs; both are poker (regular) size. I received the cards a few weeks ago and have had some time to play with my poker group and gauge opinions. Interestingly, our group voted 50/50 KEM vs COPAG. What I can offer is specific differences between the cards which you may find helpful. I've also included the specs of a Bicycle deck for comparison.
KEM
.014" card thickness
.700" deck thickness, w/o jokers
2.5"W x 3.5"L deck dimensions
8.75" surface area
COPAG
.012" card thickness
.625" deck thickness, w/o jokers
2.483"W x 3.465"L deck dimensions
8.604" surface area
BICYCLE
.011" card thickness
.580" deck thickness, w/o jokers
2.48"W x 3.475"L deck dimensions
8.618" surface area
As you can see, the KEM deck is almost 12% thicker and 1.7% larger surface area than the COPAG deck, and 21% thicker and 1.6% larger surface area than a Bicycle deck. 21% thicker than a Bicycle deck is a big deal if you're a smaller-handed dealer!
Here are my personal thoughts;
The COPAG's feel slightly better when shuffling as the deck is slightly smaller, less weight and easier to handle for short fingers (like mine). The KEM's numbering is smaller and much less blocky, and appear more like a traditional deck. The COPAG's have larger (not Jumbo) lettering which is blocky. Both decks have visually pleasing and symmetrical backing designs. Both slide easily on felt and are very easy to riffle/shuffle. The COPAG's have an attractive blue border around each face card picture, unlike the KEM's black border. However, the red ink used on the KEM's hearts and diamonds appear darker and a little higher quality than the COPAG's. My cut cards more than fit the bottom of my COPAG deck. The opposite is true of the KEM deck, as the cut card is just a hair smaller than the deck. Also, the COPAG's will fit inside any paper deck box, like Bicycle or Bee. The KEM's will definitely NOT fit in a standard deck box.
If you're switching from a paper plastic-coat deck like Bicycles, Bees or Motors, you'll find the most physical similarities with the COPAG deck. Alternatively, you'll find the most visual similarities with the KEM deck. The KEM deck has a well-known image on the ace of spades and is probably the most recognizable deck around (ie; Rounders).
Cost wise, I spent a few dollars more on my KEMs than I did the COPAGs. If I were to choose only one based on price, feel and aesthetics, I'd probably go for the COPAG deck.
Oh, I asked my wife which she liked better (as an uninformed observer) and she couldn't really tell the difference between the KEM and COPAG decks. She did like the feel compared to a paper deck though. Then she beat my flopped straight by sucking out on the river with a low flush (I love you dear).
Bottom line, choose either one and you'll be super happy you upgraded from the popular paper brands. I hope this helps in your decision!
Great cards April 1, 2010
J. Chaffier (Easton, PA USA)
Someone brought a desk of these cards to our league and they were an instant hit, so I purchased 6 more decks for our games. One side note, if you have never used plastic cards before they feel a little different than paper cards, and they are slick, so be cautious when you first start shuffling them!
 Great Quality Cards March 17, 2010
Big Bank Hater (Phoenix, AZ)
I have other cards which are 100% plastic but these are my favorite so far. They are very thin and easy to shuffle, but they are still very strong and easy to clean. I would recommend them for anyone that likes to drink while playing cards, or plays cards out doors.
