RE: [DL] eBay has a bunch of doomtown cards listed

[Steven Walmsley <swalmsley@icegallery.com>]

And to make things even more difficult, their are two 'versions' of the
normal Joker. The alternate art Joker was called the "Inquest Joker" for
obvious reasons as it was only available as an Inquest Promo card.

So that makes the grand total 4 if you want to include the alternate art
Joker.

There are actually three Jokers, and the rarity varies depending on which
Joker and which set.

The standard Joker was in Ep 1&2. It was a rare in the set; one of 25
rares, of which 3-4 appeared in each pack. It also came in the Collegium
starter for that set.

The Death's Head Joker was introduced later. It showed somewhere around Ep
7, if I'm not mistaken. Like the original Joker, it was rare (again, one of
25, of which 3-4 appeared in each pack). This never came fixed in a
starter.

I believe both of these were reprinted in Pine Box as rares, though I could
be wrong.

Revelations saw the release of the Fools Joker.

Both the Fool's and Death's Head Jokers were reprinted in Boot Hill
Edition, as a Rare and an Uncommon, respectively.
