I have just finished my “Thematically Encoded Playing Card System”. My outstanding number I was looking to complete the system was the #9’s. I decided to go with famous boxers as a #9 looks like a Boxing Glove.
Here is my complete list:
I have changed a couple of things around (as can be expected),nothing is set in concrete and signed in blood. I have rather opted for Janet Jackson (as a pole-dancer) in the “Jack 'O Clubs -Strip Joint”. Whilst I know that Janet Jackson is a women, my Jacks do look a little effeminate. I choose Jacket Jackson as a Club Royal because I have her brother Michael Jackson as "The King of Clubs (Pop) and Donna Summer as the “Queen of Disco-Clubs”. I finished of my Jacks with the obvious “Jack-the-Ripper” to signify death or the “Spades” suit.
I have also moved Adolf Hitler to the King of Spades and have opted for the Grim Reaper (signifying Covid) as my Ace of Spades or “Death Card”. Floyd Mayweather 9D doesn’t belong amongst my cast of Heavyweight Boxers, so I have cast George Foreman in his place. To my surprise George Foreman is the wealthiest heavyweight boxer in the history of boxing.
