Jokers make great gifts!

There are so many wonderful jokers out there that I have not been able to purchase!

Additionally, Piatnik makes an amazing number of absolutely gorgeous cards, and decks usually contain 3 rather than just 2 jokers!

Washington Jokers

I've just come back from Washington where among other things, I was looking for new jokers.  I visited the Smithsonian museums of American History, Air and Space, and Indian History, plus the Castle, but managed to only find one joker.  Then I ran into the mother lode at the Library of Congress gift shop.  If only I had another hundred dollars just to buy jokers!
