Asher cancels 2011 J Nugg Sale
This morning, we received a heartfelt apology letter from the CardStar, Lee Asher. He announced that because of unforeseen technical issues beyond his control, he will not be selling Jerry's Nugget Playing Cards in 2011.
Mr. Asher was prepared to sell 72 pristine decks on July 18th, 2011, but his servers crashed and it never happened.
First, read his short tweet...
Now read the letter sent to his mailing list:

Sad news, a sincere apology...and a silver lining.
First, my apologies for not writing sooner. I simply couldn't write you before having a real update about the Jerry's Nugget launch so many of you have been waiting for.
Since the server snafu on July 18th, 2011, I've been working to remedy the situation every day. Unfortunately, the demand for these decks has caused overwhelming technical difficulties. I simply have to admit that these problems have proven beyond my ability to solve right now. I cannot make the Jerry's Nugget sale happen in 2011.
I sincerely apologize for this situation -- I know that many of you have really been looking forward to this.
Please don't think for a moment that I'm giving up on this; there are more options to be explored. When the plan is truly secure in the coming months, you'll be the first to know. It's clear the desire to own an authentic deck of Jerry's Nugget Playing cards is greater than ever -- and I really do appreciate your patience.
In fact, I've put together a special treat so you won't be left empty-handed this holiday season.
Starting from the moment you read this email, all the way through December 31st, 2011 (11:59pm PST), every order made on LeeAsher.com (including PDFs) will receive a single, signed, authentic Jerry's Nugget Playing Card as a gift (one card per purchase). That's right, EACH PURCHASE, no matter what or how much you buy, receives one pre-signed JNugg from me.
Your card's color and value will be chosen at random by LeeAsher.com staff.
Give this collector's card to a friend as a holiday gift, use it as a book mark in your working copy of Erdnase, or simply add this piece of Las Vegas Casino history to your playing card collection! It's yours. Happy Holidays!
Purchase anything from here and receive a Jerry's Nugget Playing Card.
Thanks for your understanding as well as your continued patience.
Speak with you soon.
Cheers,
Lee Asher
ps. thank you so much for your passion and dedication to playing cards and magic. It's very important to me not to let you down. If you have any questions or want to send me an email, I'm here and would love to hear from you.

Mr. Asher, we'd like to say (if we haven't said it enough already) YOU'RE A CLASS ACT! But we have to wonder... by Lee Asher not selling JNs in 2011, does that increase the value of these legendary cards?
