Title: Sheldon's Fortune Telling Cards (20s?)
Post by: cardbard on May 11, 2021, 03:23:49 PM

I can't really find anything on these cards I picked up from a thrift store, but they're interesting. Are there a lot of these out there? I can't find any information on who Sheldon might be, but I might not know where to look. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I finally found him. He was in Long Beach for quite a while. Had him mixed up at first with another W A Sheldon who was a very well known area educator. Still gathering info for a future story on my "Forgotten People of Playing Card Games" website  ( https://fpopcg.weebly.com/)
