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.
GOT IT (Toby Edwards purchase, entire deck)
5F Piatnik, Vienna, Austria c 1951 
5I Bearings Magazine (Bicycles). USPC 1910
6B American Bank Note Co, NY c 1930
7D P.B. Ale-Portlager. USPC. 1907
7E Marked Cards. Brooklyn Playing Card Co., NY 1896.
GOT IT, Toby Edwards deck purchase
8E Piatnick, Vienna. Austria. C 1949
8H Red, While and Blue Playing Cards (No-Revoke deck). Independent Playing Card Co Johnston, PA 1926
Got it. Two ways. Dan purchase
8I Clown Cigarettes. USPC 1925. Last one. Finally.
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!
 
wish I could help, but I guess not...the "Fair Play" Joker is on my coveted cards list...love the graphic...now the "x-ray" joker and a couple more of these, too...good luck
