40,000 decks – Missing!
You heard that right! In the 1970’s there was a casino in Vegas that has since closed its doors. The name of the place was Jerry’s Nugget and the story goes that they had 40,000 decks of cards printed that somehow never got used and ended up in storage. Some eccentric bastard bought the lot of them and now these cards are some of the most sought after playing cards in the world. Single decks are fetching upwards of $500 USD. Yup, FIVEHUNDRED DOLLARS!
