John was a working magician in high school (Class of 1976) and needed a few jokers for a trick. He seems to have liked finding the most pleasing jokers and soon, he had a collection. He has about 10,000 different jokers today and has started focusing on old and historically-significant American decks of playing cards.

I am a life-long playing card joker collector. I started when I was a working magician in high school and have recently taken it back up. My collection is somewhat online. I continue to be primarily interested in the older American jokers. http://www.AmusedByJokersAmI.com
