There are 12 face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings in each of the 4 suits) and 4 cards with the number 3 in a deck, making 16 specific cards. However, since the 3 of clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades are already counted in the total, we avoid double counting. Thus, the probability is $\frac{12 + 4}{52} = \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13}$.
