Hi,

I'm Harry Wastrack.  Members of 52 Plus Joker would know me as the past club president, frequent contributor to the club newsletter "Clear the Decks," and a familiar face at the 52 Plus Joker conventions.  I live in Northern Virginia (the D.C. Area).

I don't do cardistry, or so little it barely counts, and I don't do magic, or so badly it barely counts.  But I do love playing cards and collecting playing cards.  I have written several playing card price guides and the book "The Essential Hand & Foot" which explains how to play a card game called Hand & Foot, an edgier version of Canasta.

I hope to be a more familiar presence on the Forum.

Welcome, Harry - it was a pleasure to meet you at the forum!

I'm going to have to get a hold of some of those wicked-cool protective sleeves you have for uncut sheets.  I plan to post some around my home and they're idea for protecting my collection, whether on display or in storage.  Rolled in a tube just isn't a good long-term solution.

Hello Harry!

Welcome to the forum. The plastic display is a great idea. Just snagged your book. I've never played Hand and Foot, something new for me to have some fun with.  :)
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Welcome to the forum Harry. I'm just down the road from you in Fredericksburg. I don't know if there is any other members near us, but we should get together and play some cards some time.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
