? to card collectors and vendors -- Kem

[Jupiter3]

Does anybody have a list of the back styles that Kem has produced in their history (Pre and Post USPC). 
I have a bit of a collection and I would like to know what I am missing. 
Does anybody hava any information about the older bakelite cases, or their value? 
Thanks!

 Thereware 4 pages of PreUspc styles here:

 however I'm sure that's a very small fraction..
 There were probably hundreds of styles of kems, including "limited Editions", Bicentenial, Casinos, Logos, ect ...

Hochman encyclopedia of american playing cards may have some more info about early styles, but probably not complete. You can ask your library to get you a copy.

Thanks, I was thinking of getting Hochman's and it's update, now I have a valid reason to buy it.
