The characters on the box for your Glamor 999.9 product says "Shencai Jin Pian" (神采金片), which might best be translated as "Cards with a semblance of gold".

The one with all the characters in black is a "Bai fu tu" (百福圖), or "Picture of 100 ways to write 'Good Fortune'"

I vaguely recall seeing novelties like this on sale ages ago in or around the Lisboa Casino in Macao and maybe at some of the gold shops there or in Hong Kong. The cards have only a veneer of gold leaf if I remember correctly.

Best regards,

Bill H.
