There are 13 clubs and 12 face cards. Three of the face cards are clubs, and they are double counted. That means the answer is 13+12-3 or 22/52 or 11/26 probability.

There are +10+ clubs, Ace - 10, excluding J, Q, and K of clubs
To the +10+ clubs, add J, Q, K of each of the 4 suits, which is
+12+ cards.
+10+%2B+12+=+22+
The probability of choosing one of these is
+22%2F52+=+11%2F26+
