I went. It was great.
I particularly liked the open chat sessions where I could get a feeling for the personalities of people and ask some questions.
They were quick to help.

I also discovered that as a joker collector, I got labelled as a "singles collector", my wife was very suspicious when she I heard that I was online under that category...

My contribution, such as it is, has been a focus on an organizational system for jokers. It's useful for people like myself who will never be able to remember the country or publisher of each joker. Instead, we need an easy-to-follow visual system... check it out!

This is about as regular as a chat gets!  OK, it's a little quiet, but still...

There's another similar board called United Cardists - they get a little more traffic, but they can be more of an acquired taste, I'm told; I don't hang out there a lot.

52 Plus Joker is considering having more frequent, smaller events - are you a member?
