Does anyone know where I can buy a "new" deck of Mlle. Lenormand's 1970 Fortune Telling deck? I have been searching all over the web?

Thanks...

Can't help you there, but I just posted about that deck being my very first deck of cards, given to me when I was about 8 years old.

"1970" may not be the "best" way to identify this...
there are so many editions in and out of publication.

Do you have any other "clues" to which you want?

The deck I would like to get is the one shown on this website...with the pictures, and the box with the rhymes in them.

I like the deck, and looked on ebay, which I am on all the time, but there are only used decks on there right now.

I have probably spent 4+ hours yesterday and today looking on the web for it.

Hi tarotmomb

Have a look here, but they ship from France:

Alida also sell Lenormand cards:

Tarot Garden also have a few decks but not the type you are after:

Thanks! I did check both suggestions...

Neither has the deck I am looking for...

The number on the box of the deck I want is...12274.

I even looked on Amazon.com

I thought I found one place on the web where someone had a deck I think they had posted at 35.00...and were taking offers, but I don't remember where I saw it, and haven't found it again. I think it was a new deck too. It was on some vintage website, I think?

Do you read German?

This looks like the same cards to me:

These are the ones made for time life?
In 1970?
Booklet by kaplan?
Owl on the back?

I've got a deck, they are cute.

They are the same pics as more modern ones with the owl on the back.
The poems are pretty dire.

They come up on Ebay pretty often, two in the UK right now.

Sometimes they go for about £10, sometimes far less, sometimes not at all.
There has been a run on them recently, I've seen loads.
Most have a blue back, but I have seen one set with a red back.
Mine are blue.

Hope this helps.

If you want the Ebay links I can send them PM.
