(Unless, of course, you’re reading this while our EXTREMELY LIMITED stock of certified authentic Original Stud Playing Cards is still available.)Ībout 50 years ago, Jerry’s Nugget Casino in Las Vegas produced a signature deck of cards that, for some unknown reason, never saw the light of day. As a result, it’s now incredibly difficult to find an authentic sealed deck of Original Stud Playing Cards for a reasonable price. These new decks lacked the remarkably thin stock, balanced feel and bright colors that made Stud Playing Cards so beloved.įans of the originals quickly purchased the limited stock that remained. When Walgreens redesigned their Stud Playing Card Brand in 2006, it sent shock waves through the magic and playing card communities. These cards are not to be used for doing any sleight of hand card tricks or cardistry! Below, you’ll find some of the hardest to find playing cards in the world. Whether they were only available through a private reserve or had extremely limited quantities to begin with, some of these decks of cards have become more rare and collectable than others. New decks that push the limits of standard playing card design are being released almost every day and enthusiasts are eager to keep expanding their collection. Sparked by the popularity of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, the custom playing card community has exploded in the last decade.
