53 Beautiful Images of Beautiful Women, Courtesy of Vargas, Copyright 1953I'm pleased to offer this complete deck of 53 playing cards featuring the "pin-up" artwork of Alberto Vargas, the noted artist whose paintings of semi-nude women graced the pages of vintage gentlemen's magazines from the 1940s through the 1970s. This outstanding and highly collectible deck of cards is in excellent condition and comes in its original box, of course. I've shown just a few of the images ...on the cards--note that the "aces" each represent one of the branches of the U.S. military. One side of the box states, " This is your private collection of beautiful paintings from the master hand of Alberto Vargas...Creator of beautiful women." This deck is from 1953 and was produced by the Stancraft Company, St. Paul, MN. Condition of the cards is excellent; I found no tears, creases, dings, or markings on any of the cards. The box is in very good condition as well, although there are light creases where the tabs fold in at the sides at one end of the box, and there are light marks from handling/storage. Please have a look at the pictures to further assess condition, and please be sure to ask any questions you might have. I'm always happy to help buyers make informed purchases!
