I believe I remember someone talking about someone releasing decks with the jerry nuggets design in different colors, so I think they are re-prints. Honestly we should just wait for Don to post. He seems to have all the info when it comes to cards. lol
I'm flattered to hear you say that!
These are not original Jerry's Nugget decks, that's for certain. The originals were only in red and blue. The green deck may have been made by Art Fighters, but factor in that Art Fighters only made 30 decks and that a separate (and likely much larger) batch were made in China, and the odds are far better that these are forgeries of the Art Fighters deck (which was ALSO a forgery). AFPCC explained on their site that they were sold as a "tribute" to the originals, but it doesn't change the fact that they had no authorization from either USPC or the casino to make it. There are exceptions to US copyright laws regarding satires, but not tributes. The black deck is just an out-and-out forgery, period, not someone's idea of an art project or a tribute. Some forgeries handle well, I'm told, while others are better off used as compost - and I'm thinking there's more of the latter than the former. No matter how you slice it, neither deck is worth what this seller is charging.
Other than that, everyone else here has pretty well summed up the rest. This is a serious case of "buyer beware" and technically shouldn't even be on sale at eBay as it violates their policies on copyrights and trademarks. Worse still, he doesn't even make a statement that they're not the real deal - not that this would exempt him from the rules of eBay, but it would at least give buyers a heads-up. He also displays more than one deck in each photo in their respective auctions, but it's only when you read the description that you realize the item for sale is only a single deck. $75 for a black or $100 for a green is insane.
