Classic Movie Posters Playing Cards

This is a single standard deck of playing cards featuring Classic Movie Posters.

Created in Austria by PIATNIK. The Piatnik factory was established in 1824 and is a recognized symbol of Vienna. When speaking about Playing Cards in Austria or anywhere else in the world, PIATNIK inevitably comes to mind.  Both the production methods and the assortment have changed significantly in the 185 year history of the company. An annual output of 25 million Playing cards, 1 million Board Games and 1 million Jigsaw Puzzles is proof that traditional games have lost none of their appeal. As ever Playing cards remain the central product category and PIATNIK offers the largest selection of standard and luxury Playing Card items worldwide. In the interest of product diversity and quality PIATNIK constantly pursues technical advancement and innovation in the production and processing of its wide range. 

Deck is brand new and sealed in cello wrap.

Fun film posters

Standard Piatnik feel and cut here. The film posters chosen are fun and well reproduced; some of them look great on a playing card, while others are ok but would look better enlarged about 2000 per cent, which is how they were designed. Nicholas Bird rightly chose some European versions rather than the tamer US counterparts in some cases.
Card backs are not the Marilyn Monroe image from the tuck box, but are rather a poster for Chaplin's "Modern Times." It's not bad, but I would have preferred a more iconic image to see 54 times, such as "Forbidden Planet," "Attack of the 50 Ft Woman," "King Kong" or "Gilda." Still, a good deck for classic film fans like me. It would be fun to have a deck of nothing but film noir from the 1940s.

Novelty deck from Piatnik

Piatnik has produced a large range of novelty decks with different themes, and this deck is a fine example of their pop culture playing cards. Each of the 55 cards has a lavish illustrations of a different movie poster, with just the indices showing. So it's still a playable deck, but all the focus is on the artwork. The card quality and handling won't match a standard USPCC produced deck, but this is a great novelty item, especially for people who enjoy classic movies, or are collectors.
