Re: [kem-collector] Kem Playing Cards

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. IMG_20200724_215036.jpg 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 ...

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.

Appreciate all of the info! I had never seen the mini deck like this. Great to have some knowledge of them. I thought they were a good pick up at an estate sale for $1. Not sure what they go for but for $1, they look nice in my collection. Your collection of WWII era cards is pretty great by the wa...

Thank you. I still cannot find any reference to that name online, but I will now be using that name for this deck until someone proves it wrong!

Re: Lord of Rings - By Kings Wild Project

I love the art as well, and I like the Boromir card very much. But I have to comment - for some reason, my eyes keep getting drawn towards the flat/top of his head, especially on the lower part of the card. I know they are mirrored images, but his haircut/style just seems a bit flat on the top of hi...
