"Not necessarily superior to Copag's, but definitely GREAT cards"

I've been playing cards for a while now (poker, cribbage, pinochle, etc.) and feel as though I've tried just about every style and quality of playing card out there. The fact that these are 100% cellulose acetate makes them unquestionably one of the best decks you can purchase. I'm glad I own them and got a great deal here on Amazon. I do question however the claim that KEM's are in some way superior to Copag's. The KEM's may be a slightly higher grade of plastic, but in the end it really comes down to the look and feel of the card. If I polled the "regulars" I play with I'm quite certain I'd find a 50/50 split as to what brand of card they prefer. Both brands will give you long life with plenty of play. I seriously don't think you can wrong with either. 4 stars

"Generally good product but horrible customer service"

I've played with KEM cards at a friends house before so I am used to these cards. Generally I like them a lot but the deck I bought came with seven noticeably miscut cards. They were miscut to the point it was noticeable across the table.

I've emailed US Playing cards three time trying to get some kind of resolution on a replacement deck or cards but they have yet to respond to any email I sent them. There is no phone number to contact them only an email which evidently no one responds to. The guarantee on their website lists every brand they make except KEM so if your deck is faulty, let the buyer beware. 3 stars
