WOW! Jerry's Nugget cards are BACK! from EXPCC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gcjQXVqKnE
Originally printed in Cincinnati, Ohio, by the US Playing Card Company, these playing cards were made in 1970 for the Jerry's Nugget casino gaming tables. Once manufactured, they were driven to the Vegas casino via trucks, where they sat in storage for years. They never saw any real action in the casino & were ultimately sold one-by-one in the gift store. They sold out in 1999.

Based on the Youtube comments, not everyone is pleased with this. As a newbie to the hobby, however, I'm excited to see new Jerry's Nugget cards produced. I don't own any rare or valuable cards yet, and buying a deck of the originals isn't really in my budget for the foreseeable future. But I might just pick up one of the new sets.

EPCC is collaborating with USPC as well as the Jerry's Nugget Casino on this one. But while they'll have the look of the originals, I have my doubts about them having the same feel. From what I know if it, they're using completely modern manufacturing processes and supplies - so none of the original papers, inks, varnishes, etc. will be used. (They really couldn't be, based on what I've been told about new US regulations banning the use of petroleum products to make playing cards.) They won't be all that much different from other USPC-made custom decks, though perhaps EPCC will have a hand in insuring a higher quality control standard.
Regardless of what any collectors may say, it's very unlikely that these new issues will affect the value of the older decks in any way. They're simply not the same decks, period.
