Sphinx Fortune Telling Cards

Freddy

Very curious as to if anyone else has these? I tried searching the forum but didn't find any mention of them (but that doesn't mean anything, I'm not good with any kind of internet search)
I'm not sure if these are still in print or not- the ones that I am using were my grandmother's which I never even saw until after she died...So basically just wondering if anyone knows anything more about them? Sorry if I'm rambling/not making sense

'lo Freddy,

I've just done a quick search online, but can't find any fortune cards with the name/word "sphinx". Would you have a link to where it's being sold or maybe a few scans? Do you know how many cards are in the deck?


Bee :)

Hello Bernice :)
I haven't been able to find them for sale anywhere
This: http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/life/article_7c088122-c8f0-5111-93a7-bd266658f4a4.html is the only place I've found them mentioned/pictured except the ones I have are just a little different (no gilt edging and the box actually says Shinx not Nile). It's just like a deck of playing cards but with phrases written on all four sides of the cards plus a life card.
I'm going to see if someone will let me borrow a phone or camera later so I can post some better pics of it

Wow! Thanks for the link :) I hadn't been able to find them there either (but my searching skills are pretty sucky)
There's also another listing for them on the next page if anyone is interested

It's making me regret spending all my spare cash last month...
