Red Sea fish identification cards published in several languages by Horus of Egypt for the tourist market. As fish identification cards they may prove impractical while snorkelling or scuba diving as they are printed on pasteboard, but OK for fish tanks. See the Key Card► See the Box►
Above: Red Sea (German Edition) by Horus (Egypt) 2005. 52 cards + 2 jokers + 1 key card in box. Poor quality manufacture with varying colouring on the backs.

I have adored playing cards since before I was seven years old, and was brought up on packs of Waddington's No 1. As a child I was fascinated by the pictures of the court cards.
Over the next fifty years I was seduced by the artwork in Piatnik's packs and became a collector of playing cards.
Seeking more information about various unidentified packs I discovered the World of Playing Cards website and became an enthusiastic contributor researching and documenting different packs of cards.
I describe my self as a playing card archaeologist, using detective work to identify and date obscure packs of cards discovered in old houses, flea markets and car boot sales.
