TicaL is broke and needs to get some money for the summer buzz in Sevilla, Spain. So, he is selling all his card collection at eBay. You saw his dvds listed about a week ago and now he is selling his rare cards:

 Damn Cards by TicaL

2. *blue Bicycle Aces of Spades (open)
3. blue Aristocrat 727 (open)
4. green Golden Nugget (sealed)

This auction should be interesting for any card collector or guys who just like to flourish with them.
- I will add the Joe Porper “Spade Logo” card-clip to it which also looks like brandnew (only 100 were produced – here you have the chance to get one of ‘em).
*pleeease – don’t send me mails and ask me to show up more pics and stuff – those cards are all like you would expect them and I’ve treated ‘em rly good!
Nothing is faked so calm down – I just want your money!

Here are some comparative pictures of the real Jerry’s Nugget cards versus the fake ones.

More info at: www.PlayingCardCollectors.com

The real ones are to the left and the fake ones are always to the right.
You can see some glue sticking out of the cellowrapping and some minor differences in the seal but they are very well replicated so watch out.

Our  sponsor Aceking has listed some great deals on hard to find playing cards.

These Dr. Leon playing cards are Hiro Sakai’s custom decks (the creator of the Duck Change and  Street Magic Professional).

He has some Split Spades Lions which are David Blaine’s New custom deck as you all know (the creator of… and yeah, another Street Magic Godfather).

But my favourite cards would be the smooth finish Aladdin that Kevin Ho uses all the time in his videos, the amazing Texan Palmetto wich are the most beautiful deck for fans, the uber famous Wynns and the #1 overall deck Tally-Ho fan back and circle back.

Jerry’s Nugget playing cards sold for $1526

Jerry's Nugget cards

It seems like those Jerry’s Nuggets ARE worth that much.

I bidded on them, without any hope, about $900 to see where they would go, and to my surprise they ended up for more than the original buy it now price, which was $1500.

What would you buy with all that money?

I think this is the most bizarre auction i’ve seen at eBay card-wise. Can you find any other interesting one? Just leave a comment.

PS: This guy magicmagicmichael got luck, he might sell them individualy for about $200 each so that’s $2400 for him… maybe more. Do you know him? tell him to come here to laugh at us.

Is a brick of Jerry’s Nuggets worth $1500?

Posted on: May 13, 2008

jerry nugget

Today i stumbled upon an auction for a brick of Jerry’s Nugget Casino playing cards at eBay.

For those of you that are not familiar with the terminology, a brick means a case of twelve decks of playing cards not the cubic piece of concrete used to build the casino back in the days.

The funny thing is that this so called brick is up for grabs for $1500 (USD) if you buy it now, a hilarious amount of money for any average card punk like everyone of us.

But lets take a closer look at the price…
Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards. ONE DOZEN DECKS BOXED

1500/12 equals $125 for each sealed deck which, considering the prices they are being sold lately, it’s quite cheap actually.

We all saw these decks sell for over 250 bucks each, and we keep seeing this like every day.

Of course you can get an opened pack for much less but if you plan on reselling them in some years this could be your way to start, i mean, it’s now or never.

Lee Asher commented somewhere in this blog that he used to buy these decks for .50 at the Jerry’s Nugget casino back then but now you wont see them for less than $150 easily.

If you dont trust me you can always go to eBay and search for finished items and you’ll see what i’m talking about.

Here are some other auctions that are currently at eBay so you can compare the prices:
Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards. ONE DOZEN DECKS BOXED
Jerry’s Nugget Playing Cards – Rare! SEALED BLUE
Jerry’s Nugget playing card deck – rare magic bicycle red
Jerry’s Nugget playing card deck – rare magic bicycle blue
Jerry’s Nugget playing card deck – rare magic set of 2 jerrys
Jerry’s Nugget playing card deck – rare magic bicycle blue

So here are my questions,

Do you think these decks worth that much?

Do you find it an attractive price?

How much would you, sincerely, pay for this?

Bicycle Centurions 909 – Theory11 or eBay

Posted on: April 9, 2008
4 comments so far (is that a lot?)


In this trailer we all saw a while back, Daniel Madison and RichardZ from CardistRZ showoff Theory11′s Centurions deck of cards.
I didn’t try them myself yet and I didn’t like them much the first day I saw the design but after some re-thinking I can re-classify them as “decent looking cards”.
Of course this is my personal opinion and nobody will ever share my exact tastes, but anyway… whether you like them or not im going to make another post about them because they, and Theory11, deserve it.

This cards can be purchased at theory11′s playing card section for 4,95$ a deck and some discounts if you buy them in bulk plus shipping.
“On the design front, theory11 teamed up with WA007 – one of the most respected, avant-garde design studios in the nation – and worked side by side tirelessly for weeks. Hundreds of hours were spent tweaking and polishing the design from the ground up. Over 17 rough draft concepts and prototypes were produced. The final result is a mix of modern core structure, contemporary style, and a touch of theory11 signature grunge.”

There is, and there will always be, another way of getting these cards and it is eBay. For those of you addicted to auctions just like me you can find these cards slightly cheaper sometimes, for example, as part of a collectors lot.

My favourite way, if im not going to order any of the other T11′s products, would be using Aceking’s eBay Store.
He is not only selling them at a great price but he has a flat 14$ shipping cost for orders under 14 decks to anywhere in the world shipping at lightning speed, not to mention the 10 percent discount for my readers. So if you want to combine your order with other rare cards like wynns or texan palmettos (he has awesome cheap prices for these decks too) this is your way to go:
1 Deck Bicycle 909 Centurions Playing Cards Poker

Here is a buy it now auction for two decks with low shipping cost but quite expensive price from another eBay store:
2 Decks Bicycle 909 Centurions Playing Cards

Of course, if you plan to buy some magic dvds at Theory11 you should definetly buy your deck supplies from them because they are a great company with a friendly and effective help support.

So, thank you Theory11 for these cards and keep it up.

Alejandro.

CardConjurer’s Rare Decks
CC is back with some very rare auctions at eBay. Here they are in case you are interested.
Aristocrat 727 Playing Cards, 2 Decks! Mint & RARE!
Aristocrat 727 Playing Cards, Rare & Vintage SEALED NIB
The back design is Aristocrat #1, a.k.a. Bank Note back. The name comes from when Russell Playing Card Co. acquired American Bank Note Co. in about 1914. American Bank Note Co. was shutting down their playing card production and Russell was just emerging from a near bankruptcy. For decades, these decks have been held in the highest regard, and they are some of the finest decks ever produced.
Only 2-3 sealed decks of Aristocrats appear on eBay in a normal year. Here is your chance to own such a highly-prized deck. The last sealed deck that I auctioned on eBay sold for $130.50, and mint opened decks usually sell for $30-$40.

DUNES Casino Playing Cards, Extremely RARE & Vintage!!
These decks are incredibly rare, and every time I’ve ever sold a deck on eBay it has gone for between $80-$110. The deck does not include a box, and it is a 52 card set from a panguine deck. This means that it is 52 cards made up of only A-7, J-K of each suit. The deck is in gently used condition.

Jerry’s Nugget Casino Playing Cards Mint, Vintage&Rare!
What else can be said about these beauties?

Blue Ribbon 323 Playing Cards, Rare & Vintage, 2 Decks!
Up for bid are 2 near mint condition decks of Blue Ribbon Playing Cards, with the standard ‘Rosette’ back design. These decks are extremely rare, and not often seen in such good condition

Black Tech Art Bee Playing Cards, RARE, SEALED MINT NIB
Blue Tech Art Playing Cards, RARE, SEALED MINT NIB
Up for bid is a pristine deck of Black Tech Art Bee playing cards. These decks are extremely rare, and there were only 3000 of these decks ever produced.

Here are some other rare playing cards you shouldn’t miss…
