Hello card people,
In high school, back in the 1970s, I worked as a magician. One store-bought trick culminated in transforming all the cards into different jokers with different backs. I thought the jokers were dull so I started looking for more interesting jokers. This has turned out to be lifelong (so far) hobby.
Btw: I've forgotten the trick, sound familiar to anyone? I think it was a store-bought self running thing but I don't remember.
So I've now been collecting jokers on and off for a long time.
My collection is online at www.AmusedByJokersAmI.com
Stop by, leave a comment.

Very cool way to start a collection! A number of 52 Plus Joker members are singles collectors, just like you.
Please make yourself comfortable and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Thanks. I?m now studying the Playing Card Museum Poster by the US Playing Card Company. Are you familiar with it? I?m trying to:
1. Identify the publisher and year of each pictured card
2. See how many of these cards I have
3. Find out about the history of this poster and when and who put it together.
4. Get myself a high res copy or even an original.
Can anyone help?
It?s a work in progress:

So far, I?ve mostly finished Row 1 of 8.
Thanks.

I could be mistaken, but isn't there more than one version of that poster?
