Most collectors have a "side" collection of cards that are collected for the non-picture side (or suit side). These can be just as interesting as the fronts, sometimes more so as they are harder to find.
This page won't have a great deal of text to read, mostly pictures of the weird and wonderful world of "other cards". For simplicity sake, I have split the branches into three categories:
1. Ace of Spades or Spade Aces.
Collectors prize the ace of spades as it contains all the details of the manufacturer and is one of the most accurate ways to identify when and where the cards were made.
2. Jokers.
Jokers come in all sorts of weird and wonderful designs and attract a huge community of collectors worldwide. Most notable countries for collectors are Netherlands, Belgium, England, USA and Australia. Personally I don't collect jokers so all the ones I get go in either my OZtion vShop (click here to see them) or auctioned on ebay.
3. "Extra" cards.
Most decks contain "extra" cards for use as spares, extra jokers, score cards or advertising.

These cards show when manufacturers put special characters/wording on all aces only. Sweethearts 101 cards with black marks were done by manufactuer. The Playboy set were done in the 1960's. The European scenic aces are modern ones, approx. 1980's?
