I appreciate the responses so much, having majored in Mathemagic, that I will pose another question.

How many combinations of the 12 cards shown can be made to form a Baker's Dozen?

Answer correctly and you can purchase all 12, or is it 13, for $40 shipped.

Please answer only if you intend to purchase.
