Golden nugget's

[phantom1412]

Hello,

I just got some attention to the golden nugget decks.
How many colors/variations of these decks out there?
And I'd like to know the market price too.
Are they as expensive as the Jerry's nugget?

[DeckOfCards]

FIY, these are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations of GN.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-I76tChrcV8E/Tqlj6C6-q4I/AAAAAAAACOQ/5uHtHMgbBaI/s598/04.jpg
The first row is the 1st generation GN. Prices descend from left to right.
 
Currently a sealed blue GN is more expensive than JN. Look at this one (with torn cellophane):

If it is a tax stamp sealed blue GN, the price now should be higher than $400, even $500+ I guess.


COPIED AND PASTE THANK DIGIPUNK FOR THAT!


Here's another picture i got from someone on Facebook

Thank you DeckOfCards, but don't scare her, Black and Red GN are not that expensive, normally $75-$110.

You're certainly most welcomed Digipunk! HAHA I'm not scaring her. Digipunk do you know the malaysian seller on facebook by the name "playing cards", well he sells black and gold golden nugget playing card with the tin set for 500USD! That's insane price

It's 3rd generation GNs, normally $85-110 a deck on eBay. But 2 decks with the tin box, as phantom1412 always said, not everyone want to pay $200 once. The price of the tin set varies from $175 to $220.

[DeckOfCards]

Hoping to get golden nugget playing cards in the near future, looking through EBay every single day.

[phantom1412]

OMG : 10 versions of them?
Impossible to collect all.
And yes, I asked the same shop as you asked, 500$ for a pair is really overpriced.
And I recently bought the SM v2 from them. Expensive but I don't think I can find it anywhere else.

And Thanks a lot to chenwei and digipunk

You're welcome phantom1412:D
Yea a bit expensive, I used to think they are cheap but then I looked through EBay.

It would almost be easier to try getting all the variants of Bee Erdnase decks from CARC!

The more difficult it is, the more interesting it can be 
I strongly feel you need a GN to start off with when you get the Club Angels

[phantom1412]

I think I should get the Jerry before get these.
But I'm not ready to pay over 1000$ for them.
Considering I have paid more than 2000$ for decks of cards until now.

I've never seen a deck of Jerrys go for $1000. You can definitely get them cheaper than that.

She probably meant for the whole set.

On a side note, I've got a tax-stamp Black Golden Nugget if anyone's interested. It's opened, but complete with jokers. Mint condition. Pm me any offers.

Yes, I meant the whole set of the GN.
By the way, you should post this on the sale section. This way more people can see this.

It might take 1-2 years or more to collect all series of GN, you don't need to pay $1000 once 
Actually sealed blue and orange GN are very difficult to collect, they appear on eBay several years once. Jerry's Nugget is always there, even Lee Asher said GN is rarer than JN 

--EDIT--
I was misled by you. $1000 is impossible to collect all GN!!!

[xZEROx]

I'm not eager to sell it, just wanted to let some who are reading this thread and interested to know.
Thanks though, I will make a thread there if I really want to sell it.

Is THAT all?    I have only been collecting for 15 months and I WISH I'd spend that little!  (LOL)  But I have to say, the decks I do collect make me very happy.

No one said you have to buy all the GN decks in one big blowout buying spree.  Get a deck here, a deck there, and with patience, perseverance and just enough cash, you can complete a set, I'm sure.  (It's that "cash" thing that gets people every time, though!)

[phantom1412]

If I calculate all I paid, I think it's around 3500$.
But I sold more than half of what I bought.
So, now around 2000$.

True. 2 years ago, a JN was about $175 and S&M was lower than $10.

[phantom1412]

I just wanna know about the handling of this deck compared to Jerry's.
And which one is older?

Age

All Jerry's Nugget decks are with USPC stamp-like seals, but 1st-generation Golden Nugget decks have tax stamp or stamp-like seals. Obviously GN appeared earlier than JN.

I believe you saw this video, about JN's hidden secret, you may know exactly in which year a JN deck was produced:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_htHzYWtAg

but very few people know we can do likewise to GN's tuck boxes:



It is safe for me to say, the 1st-generation GN were produced for a longer span of time than JN.

The 2nd and 3rd (AC) generation were produced in late '70s to mid '80s.


Handling

JN's handling must be unique and that's why it's JN. Even then you should understand JN is not everything, there were many outstanding cards produced in that "Golden Age" (quoted from Don) and their special handling could never be reproduced, such as Golden Nugget, Dunes, or even Carson City decks.

When Jason England described Dunes, "...The cards are similar to Golden Nuggets and Jerry's Nuggets in terms of quality. They are very stiff, but seem to hold up well..."

JN is the most famous one among these decks, and you know why -- the genius twins used JN in their videos. Again, very few people notice GN were also used in their "Nursery Rhymes" notes:



There are many valuable articles on Taiwan blogs that describe the special coatings and handling of JN, GN, and Tahoe:

Thanks a lot.
The Jerry is made in 1970, Friar club is in 1973 and Golden nuggets in 1974.
What about Dunes, and Carson City?

Do you have all name of decks in Golden Age?

You didn't read my post carefully. Golden Nuggets have tax stamp seals, they are older than JN.



No, I don't have all of those deck

[phantom1412]

I noted that GN are many versions, but I assumed the one I might be able to find is the newest.
Sorry for being uncleared.

I strongly feel you need a RED Golden Nugget...

If you were in Japan last year during 311 earthquake, why didn't you come to Taiwan and give us a hug like this

LoL.
I flue from Tokyo to Bangkok on 3/10. One day before the earthquake.
I guess I'm try lucky, because I almost postpone the flight and stay in Tokyo longer.

Yes, you're very lucky. The power of natural disaster is terrible. Do earthquakes occur in Thailand?

The 3-11 earthquake accidentally improves the friendship between Taiwan and Japan much. There are hundreds of videos on YouTube if searching "Thank you Taiwan", "謝謝 台灣", or "台湾 ありがとう". So many Japanese say they love Taiwan and lots of youths travel to Taiwan since last year. Actually we don't know how this could have happened. I meant, we just returned the favor for their help in 1999 earthquake here and never expected they would have such responses.

No, I don't have all of those deck

Lalita - any US-made deck with a tax stamp was made no later than 1965.  That was the year that the playing cards tax in the US was abolished.  Card companies made their own stamp seals after that, pretty much because consumers got used to a deck being stamp-sealed.  Stamps gave way to stickers transitioning through the 1970s, likely due to a simplified automation process for applying them - they didn't need moistening.  The tradition lasts, though many custom deck makers who create attractive tuck boxes leave off the stamps so as to not mar the appearance, or they create custom seals (at great expense!) to make theirs distinctive.

Wow - do I know how to lecture or do I know how to lecture?!  Wakey-wakey, people, lecture over!

SORRY, OFF TOPIC!
I don't want to create a new thread (don't think this message is important to everyone), so I post here.

Today is the anniversary of 3-11 earthquake. Just saw this video from my friends:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB36inEK__s
Sometimes my eyes become moist when watching these videos. People in the video said if they don't do anything then nothing will be changed, so they rebuild Japan very hard, meanwhile, they hope Taiwan may guard/stand with them as always.

I am going to create a new topic in the Talk Park for this - it may not be important to everyone, but it's important to enough people that it's worth talking about.
