I got mine off eBay but they're also available on the Japanese Amazon site.

I'll put it this way, as a guy who's never held a deck of KEMs in his hand aside from two or four cards at the casino, if the Angels aren't cellulose acetate I'd be surprised and impressed at the same time. Once you get them in your hands that concern goes out the window, it's really like touching an angel.

Didn't expect anything less from Japan, of course.

Unfortunately I could not say the same for these KEMs, I thought the pre 2004 ones were supposed to be rad, but maybe I got a bum setup.
 
Keep em coming!

Also - how come the buttons to embed pics aren't working for me anymore?

Some recent mail arrivals:

I think I’m officially finished with my Harrah’s tourney set unless someone decides they want to sell me their Harrah’s T500s and/or Harrah’s T1Ks (Harrah’s not Harrah’s Casino).

Traded for an ACF set and finally got them cleaned up, they were much dirtier than they appeared to be, it took 4 Dawn baths just to get them clean enough to be able to begin hand cleaning :eek:

I put this set together for my friend's birthday. He's a Steelers fan, so I think he's going to love the white/gold $1 chips.

He likes to play 10¢/20¢ blinds, and I built the set to be flexible from 5¢/10¢ blinds up to 25¢/50¢ blinds, with enough chips to cover up to 3 buy-ins each for up to 10 players.

The 10¢/50¢ chips are there to reduce the number of chips on the table for 10¢/20¢ blinds.

These are the Monte Carlo Smooth 14 Gram Poker Chips from ThePokerStore.com. $220 for 1000 chips, which is pretty good for a gift set with our other friends chipping in.

I did it. $17 on eBay not bad for an album I couldn’t find anywhere. My “music downloader neighbor guy” couldn’t even find it.

I have been checking out cd’s from all the local libraries to put on my phone for a sweet poker playlist. My next mission is Jerry Reid greatest hits.

This soundtrack is really smooth and original music, I believe. Every song that I hear takes me back to every single time I’ve seen Rounders.

Anyone wanna copy I can see about getting some cd-r’s and burning some copies. Lemme know!

The soundtrack is great. I’ll put it on during poker night occasionally and people love it and get a good laugh once they realize what it is.

I can see someone auto-quoting the line, in sync with the song.

Table is 6 handed and late in the evening track #7 Ode to Johnny Chan comes on.

I look over and @WedgeRock is muttering something under his breath..

“I played with the best and I took it down.”

Me, shaking my head and also muttering to myself..”You son of a bitch.”

Awesome find. Great soundtrack. Christopher really captured the mood with those piano notes, especially in Glowing Glimmer, the best track imo

I have a bunch CD-Rs. Burn me a copy and you can have the rest of the CD-R spindle.

Oceans 11 is a fun soundtrack too.
