Joker Poster Jokers that I'm Still Looking For

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 57 of these jokers so far which leaves only 15 (as of 1/2024) more to go. 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


2H Adking USA for Pacific Yellows Pages, c 1960.




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.




5F Piatnik, Vienna, Austria c 1951 









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

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.




8D Fairplay. A Dougherty, NY c 1910


8E Piatnick, Vienna. Austria. C 1949

8H Red, While and Blue Playing Cards (No-Revoke deck). Independent Playing Card Co Johnston, PA 1926

8I Clown Cigarettes. USPC 1925. Last one. Finally.


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.. 

 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!
