NASA technology.

WAY over your head :p

Apparently over his too. He ruined them.

Washed is another term for shuffling. I hope that's what he did and didn't actually put them in water.

That would explain the warped effect. Would be friggin hilarious if he did. So with that in mind, I'll assume he's a moron. At least I get a laugh out of it.

No, KEM cards are waterproof and you can wash them.....so actually its gone over all your heads :) How did you wash them? Hopefully not something like putting them in your washing machine, because I'm sure the heat will mess them up. But if you just use a little soap + water, and dry it off, this should not happen....

EDIT: They're made out of some polymer, and actually it may be a good idea to wash them when you get the cards because they have a funny smell in the beginning. They're about $10-15/deck, but last a lifetime.

Since KEM's are plastic, they can be washed, in water no less. :roll:

OP - I've had warped KEM's as well, and I was able to save them by washing them in cool water, and then laying them out individually to dry. Be sure to flip them over, so they dry equally on both sides. Good luck. If they are totally gone, try a set of Copaq's next time. $15 per setup, and just as good if not better than KEM's
