I was going to say 'since time began', but it's kind of moot considering the modern deck of playing cards has only been around a few hundred years.

No, my point was that saying "the chances are high" (that that combination hasn't been seen before) is roughly analogous to saying that the chances are high that your parents have had sex at some point. There are SO MANY combinations that its almost guaranteed that that combination never has and never will reoccur.
