52 Plus Joker 2023 Playing Card Convention, Cleveland OH, Oct. 11-15

[hsbc]

Since 1987, 52 Plus Joker has traveled around the Americas, holding our annual playing card convention in a variety of cities.



We’re holding the 52 Plus Joker convention at the Best Western Plus (Strongsville, Ohio).

While our schedule is not yet finalized, we expect to unveil the 2023 club deck and several others during the Expert Playing Card Co. reception. We plan to have a handful of exciting speakers, lots of trading, high-paced auctions, fun raffles, a closing buffet banquet that includes the Diamond Awards ceremony, etc. This 2023 convention is shaping up to be one of the most exciting playing card events of the year.

They definitely do seem to favor the east! I'm going to try to go to this

They were supposed to have the convention in Niagara Falls a couple years ago, but Covid interceded. Likewise Pittsburg the year before, but they finally got to Pittsburg. Now, I hope they get to Niagara Falls soon. Cleveland is great, but Niagara Falls is the area where I grew up, and I have lots of family and friends to visit there....

I am hoping to be able to go this year. This time of year I typically have responsibilities with my high school soccer team I coach but the weekend of the convention falls in between regular season and tournament time and I am giving the players the weekend off. Plus being from OH Cleveland is very convenient.

I've registered for this year's convention (my 2nd one i'll be attending after last year being my first), hope to see more of you guys there!

starting to dribble out the next club deck…

I am not a huge hotel snob (maybe I am) but I am not a fan of the hotel chosen for the convention. It gets some really bad reviews. I will probably stay at a different hotel.

I understand a lot of the board members are in the Eastern part of the US, but I really wish they'd consider coming to the West. I know they've done it in Vegas before. What better place to convene when it comes to playing cards?

I'm really struggling with trying to figure out if I can come and how many days I could commit to. I also realized I can get a better deal with my booking genius discount compared to the 52+J deal they were offering, so I'm thinking

My biggest regrets would be if Lotrek decides to go this year or if Alex Chin shows up with some rare NPCCD prototypes/releases. Plus it would be so awesome to meet some of you guys.

I’m a little late. Happy 10th rousselle.
