Why are these playing cards worth $500 each?! 1970 Jerry's Nugget playing cards 

Amazing

Awesome video. I recently got mine, for 500€. They really are something else. I found that the remakes were surprisingly close, they werent perfect but they had the properties that distinguish Jerry's from other cards. The Vintage Feel ones are a bit heavier than OG Jerrys, and the blue is slightly off. Chicken Nuggets got the weight and color more accurately. They have a slightly smoother finish though. The Chicken Nuggets almost replicated the tension. OG Jerrys have a slight natural dome-like shape, like its pulling all the edges towards the center, similar to what youd call 'click' but its a more uniform tension instead of an X shaped tension. This seems to be a feature of other vintage decks too.

Wow, you got one

Great stuff! I'm currently waiting for a deck of Jerry's myself. It was the deck that brought me into cardistry by seeing them in Dan and Dave's hands for the first time 10 years ago. Since then I always wanted to have one. Lucky I managed to get sealed one without cellophane for 250usd. Can't wait!

Great info! Always wondered why these decks were so coveted...and expensive.

Ain’t nothing like a deck of Jerry’s …
