You are the definition of a smart ass hahaha jk

Thank you, good sir, but the definition of a smart-ass is someone who can sit on an ice cream cone and tell you the flavor... 

I was referring to his 2009, 2010, and 2012 total earnings

It's probably more like $100K, but yes, decent money in a lump.  But if that was a person's sole source of income over the course of four years, I make more than that already and I'm far from wealthy.

This sounds very interesting sell.

This sounds very interesting sell.

Really?  Does it?  Maybe that's why we posted it here, don't you think?

Noodle, you're new as a poster here so please allow me to give you a little friendly advice.  Most of the time, people who post here like to write something that's more substantial than a  "me, too" post or a "that's interesting" post.  If it's interesting to you, tell us why you find it interesting.

Have it cross anyone mind ?? Why does he have so many decks ?

[Evan]

I would love to get one but I forgot all about this sale and I have no money right now 

Next year!

[Don Boyer]

Have it cross anyone mind ?? Why does he have so many decks ?

I know why - he has a connection to someone who owns a good deal of them.  Like a LARGE amount.  It's not his own personal stash, though he does own quite a few.  Imagine my reaction when I saw his desk with JN cards that had been cut, torn, destroyed, etc. for some ideas he was working on!

I would love to get one but I forgot all about this sale and I have no money right now 

Next year!

Now what do we say around here about "I'd love to get this but can't afford it" posts...? 


I'm not even trying to get a pack.  Maybe one day, but not today.  If anyone's looking to buy me a Christmas gift, this deck is on my list and I've been oh-so-very nice this year...  It's pretty expensive, not the most beautiful deck out there by far and I think I'll find a way to live with myself even if I never acquire a pack of these.


What would be even better would be if USPC could finally either reproduce or improve upon the manufacturing process that made this deck so they could make it again.  Imagine making a new custom deck that has the feel and durability of a JN?

As an owner of an opened JN I can say that the closest thing you'll get to the feel and duarability would be the UV500 stock, however even that stock is still very different to how the JN feels. The JN is far thinner too and most stocks nowadays seem very loose.

As for the sale I'm sticking around and seeing if I can hit that magical button, but anything over $190 and I'm not buying

[billysac]

Well that was a waste of excitement, I clicked the button within a second of it appearing and what was my price...? $260
Yippee!

It is a interesting system though, I've seen it get as low as $210 but that's still too much $$ for meese.

P.S. The quantity of Seasons reprints I planned to purchase has just risen by a considerable margin. 

[jhayel84]

I clicked the button and got a price of $230! Should I buy it?

[loldudex2]

I got the $200 tier.

Not worth it.

See you next year Mr. Asher!

[shutupdangit]

Lowest I got was $210 and didn't buy it. Even if I got the $99 tier I probably wouldn't buy it unless I was guaranteed a blue deck since I already have a red one.

[agera94]

Holy poop that went fast. The moment the button was there to buy at $99 it climbed to $250 then slowly to $280, then slowly fell down again to  $200 so I got mine.

[Nhat]

I was there the moment the sale started and I did not even see the $99 tier.

[Cardist888]

i had 230$ but didnt buy it so many things to get like the aurum, seasons etc maybe next year

[jhayel84]

I am not sure but maybe the low price tiers did not really exist in the first place. lol

[securechanger]

Now ALL Already Sold out ,

[KPopFever605]

Well, just to recap the experience, here it goes.

I came to the website to out of curiosity to see how much my deck would've cost. I had no real intention of purchasing the deck. within the SECONDS of the link popping up, the numbers skyrocketed faster than I can register. When I clicked the "Buy it Now" button, I was stuck with a price of $320. Now, here's what I found interesting. After a minute or two, the price slowly decreased, probably because many people were uninterested.
That's how he gets you. He makes it seem like he's he only way to get one, that people are so quick to buy the deck, they often get it for much higher than if they were to wait. Within the next five minutes after the release, the price lowered, and eventually stabilized between $220 and $240. Many people, I can tell, were hesitant to purchase the deck if a lower price was to show up. Currently, the price rose after people found out that $230 was probably going to be the average price. Now, the price is at a high of $335, and, according to the tier chart, there are only about half a brick left. Furthermore, the lowest price I've visually seen the deck go for is $200.
All in all, I really enjoyed this release probably more than any other. The reasoning behind that is that it was just enjoyable to see the prices to bounce from $200 to $300 and fall back down again. I'm unsure how Lee makes this purchasing system possible, but he should share the secret with all other magic companies. This would make us and them much happier.

P.S. - As I am typing this post, the deck is now sold out. Congratulations to those who were able to score a deck!

P.P.S. - How much do JN's go for nowadays? I haven' t seen any on eBay for a while.

I am not sure but maybe the low price tiers did not really exist in the first place. lol

What makes you think that? I'm sure Lee always keeps his word.

Now ALL Already Sold out ,

The sale finished at 9:44pm (I think)

It was a very interesting system, but at the beginning when the price was at $240, after clicking "Add to Cart", the shopping cart page was loading a bit slow... Mine took more than one minute to load.

I did not see the $99 tier. After the count down, the "buy it now" page did not load straight away. From count down page to "buy it now" auto page change, the first price I saw was $230, then it came back down to $220 $210 mark.

Did anyone successfully bought more than ONE deck (at different price)?

May I ask if these are worthwhile getting:

Did anyone successfully bought more than ONE deck (at different price)?

Although I doubt anyone did, I'm pretty sure it would have been entirely possible with the nearly 45-minute window.

May I ask if these are worthwhile getting:

Personally, i would only be collecting them if I were collecting the HUNDREDS of casino decks out there. However, as a standard Bicycle deck collector, I think it would be pretty cool to own a deck of casino cards that are in actually pristine condition.

Thanks for your friendly advice Don.Please don;t mind my conversation too short, I start  collecting cards for 5 months,I really appreciate I learn a lot card's knowledge from you guys.I have seen some Jerry's Nugget sold on ebay a while ago with 200~300 dollars a deck.The price is really out of my range,I was trying to get a pair from Lee Asher, around 300 dollars ,but I fail the auction because the price always more than 200..... I didn't get any Jerry Nugget

You'd say no to a free ~$100? Buy it for $99 and put it on ebay $200? Easy as hell.

Also did these come with the pelican case?

Have it cross anyone mind ?? Why does he have so many decks ?

Hype is overpowered man, beats logic every single time

Not everyone buys decks just to mark them up and resell them....
