Requoted from UC, apparently Lee Asher sent this to his mail-list...
First, my apologies for not contacting you sooner. I simply
couldn't write before having a real update about the
Jerry's Nugget launch so many have been waiting for.
Since the server snafu on July 18th, 2011, I've been
working to remedy the situation every day. Unfortunately,
the demand for these decks has caused overwhelming
technical difficulties. I simply have to admit that these
problems have proven beyond my ability to solve right now.
I cannot make the Jerry's Nugget sale happen in 2011.
I sincerely apologize for this situation -- I know that
many of you have really been looking forward to this.
Please don't think for a moment that I'm giving up on this;
there are more options to be explored. When the plan is
truly secure in the coming months, you'll be the first to
know. It's clear the desire to own an authentic deck of
Jerry's Nugget Playing cards is greater than ever -- and I
really do appreciate your patience.
In fact, I've put together a special treat so you won't be
left empty-handed this holiday season.
Starting from the moment you read this email, all the way
through December 31st, 2011 (11:59pm PST), every order made
on LeeAsher.com (including PDFs) will receive a single,
signed, authentic Jerry's Nugget Playing Card as a gift
(one card per purchase). That's right, EACH PURCHASE, no
matter what or how much you buy, receives one pre-signed
JNugg from me.
Your card's color and value will be chosen at random by
LeeAsher.com staff.
Give this collector's card to a friend as a holiday gift,
use it as a book mark in your working copy of Erdnase, or
simply add this piece of Las Vegas Casino history to your
playing card collection! It's yours. Happy Holidays!
Purchase anything from here and receive a pre-signed Jerry's Nugget Playing Card:

Thanks for your understanding as well as your continued
patience.
Speak with you soon.
Cheers,
Lee Asher

I STILL don't see what the problem is... just 'rent' more server space temporarily and get this thing rock n rolling.
Why ruin so many decks to give away cards? I do appreciate what he is doing, but i am still confused. If he has the cards, sell them. If the cards are somehow not 'perfect' and he is needing to remake them, tell us!
In the immortal words of my girlfriend's mechanic... "Somthin' ain't right."
Am I missing something entirely?
---- EDIT---
Apparently I was am missing something, I forgot he 'found' a large stash months ago.
That actually makes it worse somehow.
