How do I get the card?

I saw a message further up the thread that said happy had something for me, but when I go to the page, it says nothing is available for me there. Is there a trick to getting them that I haven't figured out?

kynard: Once you have an account on flickr , go to happy's profile http://www.flickr.com/people/60738841@N00/
There, you'll see, on the upper right, an option to make happy your friend. Click it.

I hope that helps.

I did that, and still can't see anything more recent than May 12th. I guess I have to be on her contact list as well before it will work. I wrote her to ask for help. hopefully she'll guide me the rest of the way.

Compiled cards on wiki

Some of the UNBC have duplicate cards and some of the comments that Happy left on the cards, such as "One for me popped up right after Insane's.", seem to hint that the order of them is important.
Methos has compiled all the cards, in order, on her wiki. Link
Thank you, Methos.

Edited to change wiki link as Methos moved it to "solved".

Mildred H. said in an email to Enaxor that she knew the 1 of diamonds from the French Tarot deck. Poking around on wikipedia, the French tarot deck was called "Tarok", from the German word for tarot, and the cards were used for playing a game of hands or "tricks", not necessarily for reading fortunes, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarock

You can see the 1 of diamonds in the second picture.

Looking for more info now.

But Mildred also mentioned that it might be the values that had meaning.

(edited to add a link to the referenced email. I should have posted here too, sorry. ~enaxor)

In chat, enaxor wondered since we have 15 cards and there are 15 letters in the solve from the MollyHaleisasammeeeee flickr page, maybe they contained the same message.
(I'm being deliberately vague here, in case someone wants to solve the Molly Hale puzzle on their own and the two seem to be connected.)

I'm not good at puzzles, but I did notice this:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The 3 of Diamonds falls into the same place as the "T"s in "the dangers not me", and the 4 of Clubs falls into the same place as the "E"s. Maybe someone better at puzzles can confirm this by solving for the other letters?

Well all repeating cards align with the right repeated letter. Perhaps we'll see more of this in the future and this will act as a key?

Driz, Lacey et. al. in the chat have come through for us yet again

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
By taking what we know and putting them in order (with Ace and one as well as 11 and 12) we get this key

Clubs
Ace=A
1=B
2=C
3=D
4=E
5=F
6=G
7=H
8=I
9=J
10=K
11=L
12=M
J (Lancealot) =N
Q (Regina) =O
K=P

Diamonds
Ace=Q
1=R
2=S
3=T
4=U
5=V
6=W
7=X
8=Y
9=Z
