It's 52! I'm pretty sure.
Another one that is similar to that one is that there are supposedly more possible different games of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe.

Number of combinations in a 52 card deck is 52!, which works out to about 8x10^67
Number of seconds in 14 billion years is only about 4.4x10^17, so really there are even a lot more ways to order a 52 card deck than there have been nanoseconds since the big bang (about 4.4x10^26).

52! ~ 8.06582 x 10^67

52! ~ 8*10^67 possible combinations
13.8*10^9 yrs * 31,536,000 sec/yr ~ 4.4*10^17 seconds
So there # of combinations is 50 orders of magnitude greater than the number of seconds.
EDIT: typo
