The was the cards that lawman and gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was killed while playing poker.

In GH, Sam first came to town in 2003 in search of the Dead man's hand (supposedly the actual cards Bill Hickok had in his hands, in the GH world anyway). The cards are two black 8s, two black aces, and on the show (although not actually in real life) the last card is the jack of diamonds. In real life, the fifth card is unknown. Jax's father John had them and he considered them his lucky charm and they kept him going, but he had lost them or they were stolen from him. Sam wanted them because (in the GH world) her (adoptive) great-grandfather Jack McCall was the one who had killed Bill Hickok. Jax was looking for them to get them back to his father because his father had lost the will to live without the cards. Long story short, Jax and Sam fell in love while looking for them. They found that AJ Quartermaine had them, but they switched hands numerous times before they finally found the cards. Jax's father John died, however, before they got the cards back to him. In the end, Sam gave them to a homeless man, who was actually Luke in disguise. Luke wanted them to display in The Haunted Star casino. So, as far as I know, the last anyone saw them was Luke had them at the casino and that was the end of the story.
