Ten sections: animals, art, Christmas, entertainment cartoony, real people, jesters, musical, travel, ads, and topsy turvy. Most sections has subsections. Some subsections have sub-subsections. When a joker could be put in two or more places (ie a topsy joker with Mickey Mouse), I have rules for which takes precedence.
Today's count 7,456 😏 (Click for previous counts). The collection keeps growing and evolving. As of 1/1/21, all of the sections are now on the website but they are not current. I update my collection daily and my website less often.
While my collection is by theme, I’ve looked some at jokers other ways. I’ve some historical views of American jokers: examples: Dougherty , ARRCO, or Standard Jokers Other views : how I frame jokers to put on the wall, whether I have all the jokers from the Joker Poster, and what resources I find useful. I enjoy comments: don’t be shy.
