Its a scam!\nLotterys work like this:\n1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc\nThe lottery company now has 10,000\n\n2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)\n\nScams work like this:\n-1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)\n\n0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)\n\n2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)\n\n3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)\n\n4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )\n\n5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com\nEverything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to    "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)\n\nThe moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is

Tarot cards are just another tool of the devil. Unless you want to encourage possession of your soul, I'd strongly advise against it.

Wow, I was expecting something more common when I opened this.  But what you are describing may be exceptionally rare.  What shape is the card in?  Are you sure that the card and the signature are authentic?\nBe wary of just going down to your local baseball card shop and trying to get a price for it, they might try to rip you off.  What you have could be worth a significant amount of money, and my guess is that it is probably rare enough, that the best way to establish a value would be via a well publicised auction.

There is definitely something wrong with the wording of the puzzle, because you can just turn over the [A] card. Anyways, I doubt your problem is that easy. I'm guess that you're talking about the reverse of both Aces.\n\nSince each card card will have only a number and a letter, there are only 4 possibilities:\n\n1)\nFront: [A] [K] [2] [7]\nBack: [2] [7] [A] [K]\n\n2)\nFront: [A] [K] [2] [7]\nBack: [7] [2] [A] [K]\n\n3)\nFront: [A] [K] [2] [7]\nBack: [2] [7] [K] [A]\n\n4)\nFront: [A] [K] [2] [7]\nBack: [7] [2] [K] [A]\n\nSince there are actually 2 Aces, you could play a trick question and flip over the other ace as well. So even if there is a 2 behind the [A], there might be another Ace behind the [2]. The easy way is to flip over the [A] and the [2].\n\nHowever, you can do it 3 other ways. By flipping over exactly 1 face card (A or K) and 1 numbered card (2 or 7), you can determine exactly what's behind all four cards.\n\nFor example, if you flip over the [7] and the [A]:\nIf a 7 is behind the [A], then the 2 is behind the [K], and vice versa. If the A is behind the [7], then the K is behind the [2], and vice versa.\n\nOnce the combination is found, you will know if either 2 is paired with either Ace. (If they are randomly sorted, the probability will be 3 out of 4).

This originates from a "homemade" video spoofing David Blane's Street Magic.  \n\nA Blaine lookalike approaches two men and asks them to pick a card out of a deck and put it back.  The card is the ace of clubs.  He then picks a card out of his pocket that is not the ace of clubs.  He admits to the "mistake" and tells one guy to lift up his shirt.  An ace of clubs is stuck on the guy's stomach.  \n\nHe then tells the other guy to take out his wallet and look where his license is.  The guy says "no biggie, it's just my license."  David instructs him to read how tall he is on his license.  The guy reads, "I'm five foot ace of clubs!!!!"  \n\nThen Blaine proceedes to play some other tricks on the boys until they faint with amazement.\n\nYou can watch the video here, but beware it does contain a lot of swearing and bad language.\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxu_MQSTTY

It belongs to a category called "marking" the card. Marking also includes placing an ink, lipstick  mark on the card.  Oh, it's also called "cheating"!!!!!

It's a scam.  Pay no attention to it.\nIf you didn't enter a contest or buy a lottery ticket, how do you expect to win it?

tarot cards are a real tool for those who know how to use them. there is ALOT involved in the study of tarot... but i am not certain it's something you can study and learn... i think it is more of an intuitive thing powered by unseen entities.

Fortune telling I believe is evil... I guess it is how you understand the meaning of that...  What I'm trying to say is revelators and mystics have been in 'Good' practice for many centuries (even with in the Christian church).  Look at Moses... he was not evil.  And Joseph of Egypt interpreted dreams for prisoners and the Pharoe.  To reveal 'what is' cannot be considered evil.  The thing here is to remember that in using Tarot... the cards are not endowed with any power. The cards are not a crystal ball.  The Tarot is a tool to help reveal your own intuition.  This intuition was given to you by divine grace and in that spirit... I find no evil.

not good.  staubach cards aren;t that great to begin with, but that brand is crap.  you can always find out by taking it to a card shop or checking out a website run by beckett, they are a memorabilia appraiser, cards, toys, etc...  it will cost some money for the membership though, but you could probably check out the price of a couple more of your cards.\n\nSeriosuly, maybe a few dollars at best

tarot cards have been around for a long time but their history is quite cloudy from what i can gather. i think there was some fear of persecution at some point in the history so they were disguised as playing cards. the pentacles became diamonds, cups: hearts, wands: clubs, swords: spades (pretty sure about this). \n\ntarot cards work through symbolism. if u can understand how all life is interconnected then u can see how the tarot works (sorry, i'm not very good at describing in words things that i understand with my soul). some people say that u have to be psychic to use the tarot but either that's not true or everyone is psychic to some degree.\n\ni've been using tarot cards for a few years now, on and off, but i don't use it for divining the future coz i don't see the point of that. rather, i use it to ask for advice and it's never steered me wrong. also, i don't use the tarot a lot anymore since i like figuring things out for myself as much as possible.\n\nsome people say u have to be given a tarot deck but i don't believe that. i bought my deck coz i liked the pictures and i bought a separate book that focused on advice readings and together they work good enough for me. also, i have all my cards up the right way while some people shuffle them so that some cards are upside down. \n\nas u can see, i'm not an advanced tarot user but i don't think u need to be to benefit from the tarot.

is this a trick question?

Heck NO, it is great. The card is his way of not saying out loud that he cares very much that you are his brother and he wants you to know that he loves you in that way. Be thankful he did, so many forget to tell each other every day, that when it does happen they immediately think it is weird.
