The price of the Jack of Diamonds typically falls between that of the King, Queen, and regular numbered cards, with clear positioning and stable transactions. For collectors looking to complete a full set of face cards, this is almost a must-have item, so its circulation in auctions has always been active, and it's not difficult to find a buyer when you own one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Origin of the Hanyu Card Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHanyu Distillery, located in Saitama Prefecture, is one of Japan's representative old \u003cb\u003esingle malt\u003c\/b\u003e distilleries, ceasing production and closing in 2000. At the time of its closure, Ichiro Akuto took over and preserved all remaining raw whisky casks in the distillery, which were later re-released under the name Ichiro's Malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Card Series is the culmination of these raw whiskies: each cask was independently bottled, paired with a playing card suit and rank, and released in batches starting in 2005, only becoming complete in 2014. Each card represents one cask, and once bottled, it is not replenished. This \"one cask, one card, no re-release\" policy is the fundamental reason why individual cards like the Jack of Diamonds have significant collectible depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJack of Diamonds Specifications and Positioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics of This Card\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eRank \/ Suit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eJack (Diamonds suit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistillation Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries generally distilled in 1990 (based on bottle inscription)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Type Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimarily bourbon hogshead, mostly single cask, cask strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eRarity Level\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries Position\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eJack is the value pick among face cards, priced between King, Queen, and regular numbered cards, a must-have when completing a full set of face cards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Factors Affecting Jack of Diamonds Resale Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFace card labels feature a bust portrait.
