I've recently considered starting a collection of "Joker" cards, as
I've become more and more fascinating researching the history of
playing cards. The jokers are not only historically interesting to
me, as well as having (perhaps) the most intriguing art, but I thought
if I started buying decks I could sell off the remaining 52 cards more
easily than if I took, say, the aces (as someone mentioned on this
newsgroup recently, I believe.)

The "angel" on my shoulder says, "RIGHT. Like you need ANOTHER thing
to collect."

I have an eyelash taken from the spectacles of Groucho Marx?
A 1956 rubber brake pad from an Australian "Malvern Star" bicycle?
A "falling snowflakes" christmas yo yo? (without string)
Assorted losing betting tickets from the 1995 Baalarat fillies and mares
Welter Hcp?
A single span steel bridge once used on Sydney Harbour? (pylons extra)

Any interest?
(all going for a modest investment)

Old news. I have all that, except:

1. It's Karl Marx (the least funny one)
2. It's a piece of the Golden Gate Bridge
3. Not sure what a Welter Hcp is, but I probably have one somewhere.

I know my place, Sire, and I keep my place.
I do well, not to test the humour of my fair maiden,
for fear of lash from the Viper's tongue.
No taming of the shrew, to she who barely touches 5 feet 2,
lightly structured, she packs a punch.
If my stamps are left askew, I am cuffed roughly about the ears.

In which case, she nearly appeared on some UK stamps.
