Buyable from Brazil: https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-1754471968-o-novo-tar-de-marselha-78-cartasana-karen-molina-cunha-_JM Lol. I do not own it (I have just nine tarot decks now), but one of my Lenormand students from Brazil has it. It does look nice, especially the Wheel card I saw.

gregory Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I am fond of it - but just COULD not remember what it was ! I may possibly have too many decks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I do wonder where you keep them all, Gregory. I’ve only seen odd cards in the deck. It looks nice, but I am enjoying being able to get all my decks in one box.

Malthus101 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Howdy folks......... new here! I'm trying to discover what the name of a deck is - looks like some kind of gypsy fortune deck - sadly I can't link the images here because the website is http not https - any suggestions? Thanks.

I expect it is because you only have 2 posts at the moment. You can probably add them once you have 5. We love 'identify this deck' challenges, come on back with link or inage!

gregory Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 It is true that this site is (sensibly) refusing to link images that are only http:// - I have run across that several times just today. Links would work - if they were https:// Post a screenie when you have enough posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malthus101 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ah OK, it's the 5 post thing. Alright I will! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malthus101 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ah, you were right! I see now the option to upload a file - OK. So here is the card - looks like one of those German or Polish Gypsy Fortune telling decks to me. But I found it on xtarot which I think is Czech. I messaged them on FB but no reply after 5 days... so who knows. Anyone think they know the card and deck? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinka Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't know, but I like it. It's obviously vintage art. And the colors are gorgeous. Karen and Alex are restoring a similar deck, along with the one they're creating from antique photos. (Scroll down to "our reimagining of an antique deck" to see it.)https://baba-store.com/pages/coming-soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malthus101 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Ah yes I see... why are they stopping making tarot? I found another pic that showed the full face of the cards - the name of the card is in multiple languages. Does that help at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinka Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Most decks of that type have multi-language titles. The image does help some, though - those are some very 1920's-looking people. It would have been originally created then, or the early 30's at the latest. A reverse image search got me the czech blog, and this site. http://etarot.eu/2018.php This guy appears to be the owner of both sites, you can contact him here and ask him the name and publisher of the cards. It might be more effective than messaging on facebook, where messages might or might not be seen. https://lukasberta.com/ As for why Karen and Alex are getting out of Tarot, they're tired of constantly battling piracy, the business has changed a lot since they started, there's multiple reasons.

gregory Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Me too. I have reached out to a friend in that part of the world to see if she recognises it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 OK I've been asking around and a couple of people have said they think they are Kipper cards. I have no idea about this, but I offer it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupicapra Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Hmmm.... I found here a nice collection of historic fortune telling cards, Gypsy cards and "Aufschlag-Karten" (in German, to "aufschlagen" means to open a book, a newspaper, anything with pages). https://www.stregato.de/blog/2018/02/sammlung-historischer-aufschlagkarten-zigeunerkarten/ there are some similar ones, but not the same. Might be worth trying Toni from http://www.thecardgeek.co.uk if you don't get a reply from the guy himself. She lives in Munich and is into kipper and lenormand, she might be able to help. Good Luck!

They're in the same tradition as Ziguener Wahrsagekarten, Biedermeier Aufschlagkarten, and the decks Karen and Alex are working on. NOT Kipper.

gregory Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I already tried her by email... by FB might work better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinka Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 She's pretty good about answering facebook DMs. I'm doubtful she has the answer to this, though. Cards of this type predominate in eastern Europe, but you don't see a lot of them in Germany and when you do spot them, it's the common ones like Piatnik. Go ahead and try, though. It can't hurt. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
