I haven't heard a word about it yet from Lee, either by his newsletter or by email/phone.  The pricing list you linked to was for last year's canceled sale - the prices may be different this time around.

I have to contact him in the next few days anyway; I'll ask for more details.

I wonder how he will handle the traffic influx this time around? The card community has grown exponentially since I remember getting up early for his sale a few years ago. It's only grown more since 2011.

the email newsletter was sent out a few week ago. I remember getting it. It might still be in my inbox.

Okay sounds good, and yes the pricing may be different, but i'm pretty sure there is still a sale because it says October 2012 TBA. We will just have to wait and see

I'm not trying to sound like a debby-downer or an elitist, but I don't care about JN's.  Who cares if they handle well, nobody opens the cello. The cards don't even look good.  I don't need them.

End of mini-rant, go about your business.

Rich people open the cello all the time. :P

I opened one of mine, they are everything they're cracked up to be in terms of durability. In my opinion, the cards look fantastic, and that is specifically due to the type of ink used on the backs. It's not just your typical, dead, desaturated USPCC blue. It doesn't look like printer ink. It's very deep, very awesome.

The real draw is history, especially for me. It's insane thinking that many years ago, the hotel sold them at 99 cents each, and had tens of thousands of them. Now each deck sells for $300-400 and it has consistently stayed at that price, unlike a lot of other "rare" decks that fluctuate like crazy.

I think that if you're going to be dropping big money cards, you may as well get something vintage, something unique - and there are plenty of people that drop big money. For my personal taste, I'd take two Jerry's over 36x of some new release.

At current market rates, you have to get more like 60x-120x of some other $5-$10 release to equal two Jerry's!  :))

Over some releases I agree.
If I'm able to get some, I will most definitely open one to use. Yes they are an extremely rare deck, and I will be locking them away but where is the satisfaction if you can't use them!
It's a 42 year old deck of cards!! I'd definitely want to see what they're like...

Well, for some people, like me for instance, there's some satisfaction in merely owning the deck. Sort of like a trophy.

I feel to truly own the deck, you have to use it.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

Couldn't agree more, Russel. I heard they don't handle better than wynns, and although I would rather get these than some other substantially rare deck like the BG v1, I am not planning on getting these any time soon (unless I suddenly become a millionaire for no reason). I'm pretty sure that is they weren't so rare and demanded, people wouldn't be such fans of their looks of handling.

PS: Here's what Lee Asher said:
"If you're fast enough, you'll be able to purchase a deck of Jerry's Nugget Playing cards for FAR LESS than 2011's fair market value."

If you buy a deck not to eventually open it, but to simply stare at it on your shelf in a pristine box still wrapped in cellophane, and you go through the trouble of keeping it perfect, undamaged, etc., it's really more like the deck owns you rather than the other way around...
