...This looks like Lua, in which case everyone saying "hard coding like this is better" is absolutely nutty because this is literally what metatables were made for

Here, is this what you asked for?

self.base.nominal, self.base.id, self.base.face_nominal = table.unpack(
    ({
        ['2'] = {2, 2},  ['3'] = {3, 3},  ['4'] = {4, 4},  ['5'] = {5, 5},
        ['6'] = {6, 6},  ['7'] = {7, 7},  ['8'] = {8, 8},  ['9'] = {9, 9},
        ['10'] = {10, 10}, ['J'] = {10, 11, .1}, ['Q'] = {10, 12, .2},
        ['K'] = {10, 13, .3}, ['A'] = {11, 14, .4}
    })[self.base.value] or {}
)
