theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards
Brown Wynns

What are the right reasons? T11 posted about how "rare" and "sought after" they were, and how they were the next jerry's Nuggets. They are VERY ugly cards and i dont think that they handle ANY better than the red or violet wynns. So why pay the extra money for the brown wynns when you can get the violet or red ones for about two dollars a deck cheaper over at kardwell? Im just saying if your going to use them there are much better options.
Oh the freedom of having personal opinions. Some people like them because of how they feel or work, some people really like the design, others like the card stock. Personally, I like the fact that they are a casino deck that is uncanceled and a different color than most. It came from one of the best casinos in Vegas and to me they do hold a collectors value in that regard. Perhaps, my initial post was miss interpreted. They are seemingly rare cards... no doubt more difficult to come by than the red or violet wynns. However, this post is acting like a get rich quick scheme. Similar to those who jump into the stock market simply to trade stocks like they saw in "boiler room". I bought them because they meant something to me... and honestly, I do like the cards quite a bit. Maybe... just maybe, they are more like Jerrys than you realize. Jerry's are by no means the best cards on the face of the earth (mind you that is opinion based and thusly not possible). In fact many would say they are not even good cards. Jerrys dumps these cards at about a buck a pack. Over time they became more and more rare calling for an increase in price. Until they became virtually unobtainable. Then DnD brought them to the forefront causing calamity to the card world because... if DnD are the best, then surely the cards must have something to do with it, and so the cards are the best. This could not be further from the truth. They are the best because they practice and work at it. They like the cards for their own reasons and those cards are valuable because over time they became more and more rare. The same MAY be said about the wynns one day. Maybe one day in the future the wynns will be basically non-existent and some new performer will do something amazing and make everyone want them again. Then they will sell for $1,000.00 a pack (given inflation). But until then, they are a cool deck of cards worth about 10 bucks due to rarity and they have an interesting story, look, and feel. But people need to stop thinking that they have gold in a bee box. Just my 2 cents.

i absolutly agree with most of what you said. I didnt mean to say that they werent good cards. They feel good. I was just stating that there is no right or wrong reason to buy a deck. I agree that they are not gold in a bee box. I was just saying that T11 was trying to encourage everyone to buy as many as possible saying they were the next JNs so that people that wanted to use them would buy at least a brick so that they could sell them.
I dont think that there will ever be another deck that will demand the price of Jerrys. There are too many things that factored into its price. They havent been produced in over 20 years b/c the casino shut down, they cant be reproduced because the USPCC no longer uses the same method/machinery to produce cards, they got endorsement from people like Dan and Dave as well as very well known magicians in magic community, flourishing growing and evloving into its own art. All these things contributed to the expensiveness of Jerrys. Its not likely to happen again. So i agree with you that people shouldnt just buy these decks hoping to get rich, but i also think that they are somewhat expensive considering that you could get the other wynns for 2dollars a deck cheaper.

If you can find jumo index tech art violet and red wynns, they are basically the exact same thing as the jump index brown wynns and they are more pleasing to look at.
They also handle better than the regular index wynns. The regular index wynns feel waxy and like plastic, where as the tech art wynns (brown, violet, and red) all feel more like a deck of bikes.
