[kem-collector] Kem Playing Cards

One of my favorite decks. I hosted a poker game from the Moneymaker years until recently. A friend bought me a deck of Monacos for the game and I got hooked on KEM collecting.

Another one of my favorite designs. These were advertised as "poker" decks when I bought them but I dont think they are a named design.

These came in a KEM box. Both decks are sealed but I'm not even sure if they are KEM

Casino Circle-Back style that is borderless. I would assume this back style is one of a list that casinos can choose from pre-designed by Kem. They can add their logo to the deck or not - and choose a border or not.

This is another of the Kem-designed Casino backs I see on the occasional Casino or Commissioned deck. I know that Kem has a back named "poker" from way back in the day but I have never been able to find a picture of it. Here is a deck I have from Kem for Six Card Charlie Gambling Hall, which uses that same back.
