    I have always loved playing cards so I have written a hub for the HubMob on The History Of The Deck of Cards.

    Just Ask Susan, I can't believe the coincidence... I have also done one on the playing cards. Well two hubs are better than one I suppose!

    I have done the hub now and seems a waste not to publish it- hope you don't mind.

    Great minds must think alike!

      Docmo no I don't mind at all. I started working on this one last week and finally finished it today.
      Yes I agree "Great minds do think alike"

        Thank you so much!  I spent most of last night working on it and came to publish it today only to see your post.

        I am glad you don't mind. I'll publish it now!

      I was wondering why my first submission was not included in your summary hub... then I remembered I didn't do it the right way. lol  I did the same thing with my second submission.  I had to delete the first and rewrite as a reply to Princessa's Hubmob question. lol I'm getting senile.

      Nothing to worry about, if you fulfill the criteria (which you have done) you cannot be too late for the HubMob.

      RM should be updating soon the roundup hub with all the latest hubs added to the HubMob.  Thanks for being a HubMobster smile
