Joker Poster Jokers that I'm Still Looking For

 THIS ARTICLE IS NOW OBSOLETE. PLEASE GO TO THE UPDATED ARTICLE ON 

THE JOKER POSTER AND MY PURSUIT OF THOSE 72 JOKERS

-------------------------  _____________  ----------------------

A joker poster was published by the USPCC Joker Museum in 1991. I've written about the joker poster and my pursuit of the 72 jokers picture on the poster.  

I have collected 63 of these jokers so far which leaves only 9 more to get as of 10/2024 (it was 15 back in 1/2024).

Do you have any of these? If so, I'll buy or trade or whatever for them. john@edelson.info is how you reach me. Thanks. 


Here's the jokers that I'm looking for. This first one is particularly rare so I doubt that I'll ever find it.

2C: X-Ray Playing Cards. N American Playing Card Co, Chicago. 1898




3D Perfecto Americana. Atlas Playing Card Co. NY. c 1925

3E Chess deck. Unknown. C 1900

3H Eclipse Comic Book Playing Cards. EH Kowerre.
First original American Transformation deck with Joker. 1876.

5G Steamboat (marked deck) Novelty Playing Card Co, Chicago 1935

5I Bearings Magazine (Bicycles). USPC 1910

If you have any of these jokers, please contact me. john@      edelson  dot info.
I'd play a pretty penny or trade for them aggressively. 
thanks


Recent successes:
I bought the 1934 Bier Smoking Tobacco joker that was at 6D. 
I bought the Bengal 1895 Kalamazoo R3, CI and the Adobe deck and the American Beauty.. 
2H Adking USA for Pacific Yellows Pages, c 1960. GOT IT (Dan purchase!)


 April 13, I got a Rodero. 
Confession: the text on mine is different than the original on the poster. 
Here's a comparison so you can opine on whether it's fair. Mine is the one with more dramatic text.
 He'll go in the seating section!
