May Classic…Showa and Heisei Retro For those who appreciate antiques and vintage items. This item is from Pan American World Airways, which is no longer in operation. It is said to be an amenity given out on Pan Am flights. It's definitely over 50 years old, and it seems my grandparents played with it on a flight. Photos were not allowed on the plane, so there are no photos. However, in my grandparents' belongings, there was a diary tucked between the scrapbook pages that mentioned this card as a cherished memory. The diary entry, handwritten, described how my grandparents played cards together on a Pan Am flight returning from a sightseeing trip to California. The surface of the playing cards is plastic-coated, making them water-resistant, a feature that distinguishes them from Japanese playing cards. (Nintendo was the first to release plastic playing cards in Japan.) Although it's an American airline, the design features African scenery. This indicates that these are very valuable cards. Pan American World Airways was popular for providing luxurious service, but it went bankrupt in the 90s after failing to cut costs during an economic downturn. These playing cards evoke a sense of the good old days. These are not "antique-style" playing cards, but genuine antique cards. Of course, the box has some discoloration due to age, and the cards are slightly warped overall. However, as you can see, all the cards are present, and you can still play with them. The size is small, about the size of a cigarette carton or slightly larger, which is cute because they were meant to be played with on an airplane. For those who are drawn to this wabi-sabi aesthetic and vintage feel, Please be sure to check my profile for shipping dates. It's not easy to find a complete set of playing cards from half a century ago, Collectors are welcome to purchase them. #PanAmericanWorldAirways #ShowaRetro #Vintage #Antique #PlayingCards #Showa_retro #Pan'America
