JNugg Prices on the Rise
From studying the overall playing card industry, the card collecting world and great resources like Ebay, there's an indication that strong promotion of Jerry's Nugget Playing Cards (real or fake on behalf of random sellers), along with the authentic LeeAsher.com yearly launch is scarcely meeting the international demand for this prized deck of cards. This continued need to own a legitimate pack of JNuggs is clearly
driving-up deck prices.
Originally developed for the Jerry's Nugget Casino gaming tables in 1970, these cards are now primarily purchased by collectors. Jerry's Nugget Playing Cards tend not to be used or played with, and thus attributes the growth in interest of these cards to a secondary collecting population, which is also inherently driving up prices.
"Even though we're talking about a deck of playing cards, to a degree, it comes down to simple economics," says Lee Asher, administrator for the world's largest reserve of genuine 1970s Jerry's Nugget Playing Cards. "Demand for JNuggs is increasing daily and the supply is dwindling hourly. As a result, all of this pushes deck prices higher and allows Ebay to saturate with knock-offs. Since the demand for authentic 1970s Jerry's Nugget playing cards continues to greatly exceed the limited supply, the fair market value is expected to continue rising," said Asher.
Final answer: Get them while you can!.
