Question of the day.  Why do deck listings on Ebay and elsewhere state that a deck is "complete" when it is missing a joker?  Not!

Like to think it is ignorance BUT too often shady practice.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I will say that I know many people who don't even regard the jokers as part of the deck.  They toss 'em away and forget they exist.  Seriously, how many vintage decks do you own that have no jokers?  That would be one major reason right there.

As a result, I don't find it surprising that some people consider 52 cards to be a complete deck.
