After having just bought all the Peanuts daily and Sunday strips in both original and Italian languages, I found on ebay these 3 flash cards decks.
There exist also a 4th set (the one alone in the picture).

Is there someone in the US who knows where these cards could be sold?

Thanks!

I wonder if second hand comic stores would have them :-?

Other than that I'd say ebay is your best bet. Fleamarkets might be another place to look for them although you see more Disney stuff on there than anything else (actually it's mostly Disney and Star Wars) :D

I am not quite sure where I think I saw them or some like them. We have a store called Ann's teacher's store. If anyplace has them she does. I will see what I can do about stopping there tomorrow. I never know when I will be in town for lunch. Last time I was there I was working on a fax machine. I feel like a kid when I go there. There are ton's of item's like that there.

I went by Ann's teacher store today. They didn't have them. They had a ton of other flash cards but not those. I will kept my eyes open though I see stuff like that all the time.

No problem, I set up a search on ebay, so if they pop out I'll see them!

I gave up on them, but I found a seller who has some interesting Peanuts regular poker playing cards but he is not willing to send them to Italy, stating that it is forbidden.

Looking through the USPS regulations, it is true: there is a list of items that are forbidden (among others there are "Playing cards of any kind" and also "Ribbons for typewriters" and "Toys not made wholly of wood" - why?) but in various previous occasions I bought and the cards have arrived wthout problems.

So, is there someone it the US who is willing to take this risk (just kidding) and send them to me after I tell the seller to send them to you in the US?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll let you know but the seller is a little *#@! because he only wants to ship to recorded paypal addresses. :x

Have it sent to one of us that has a recorded address then we can ship to you. That may cost a little more but you can get your items.
P.S. what I did to get my addres confirmed was talk to someone at Paypal. They in turn sent me a letter with a confirmation Number on it. When I submited that number then I was confirmed.

No, I have a confirmed address too, but they only ship to the confirmed address of the person who wins the auction, so they told me I cannot ask them to send the items somewhere else. :x
So, I will try to find the same object from a more understanding seller.

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer not to give it to the seller, who has relisted the object (it's a buy it now) with a higher price! :x
