my deck of cards class

my driver's class which seems to be giving me trouble

import java.util.Scanner;

public class cardsDriverV1 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		deckofcardsv3 drawit = new deckofcardsv3();
		drawit.shuffle();
		
		System.out.println ("Drawn Cards: ");
		System.out.println (drawit.toString());
		
	}
}

error message

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: That's not a legitimate playing card
	at Card.<init>(Card.java:12)
	at DeckOfCards.<init>(DeckOfCards.java:18)
	at DeckOfCardsDriver.main(DeckOfCardsDriver.java:9)
