Fortune Telling
BeanBean ? asked:

There are 52 cards. They are cardboard,a little bent, bigger than normal tarot cards. [i know what tarot looks like,and this is not them]. They came from my step-grandmothers house, i suppose they are old, but in very good shape if they are.[not faded, ripped etc.]they are made of sturdy cardboard, they are not falling apart or anything. there is no box..i have them in a ziplock bag now. i have gotten several remarks about them being from a magazine in the 1930s, fortune telling gypsy cards, transitional cards, voodoo etc. can anyone tell me where i can get more info [online anywhere?] pelase tell me what they are/what the are used for/ possible value?[if any]
