Pin-Ups Playing Cards Piatnik

The Pin-Ups deck features standard Piatnik feel & cut. The theme veers off into 3 different directions; while worth owning, it can’t quite decide what it wants to be.
Backs are a one-way bordered movie poster for the Hayworth-Astaire film “You Were Never Lovelier.” Nicholas Bird did a different Piatnik deck of film posters; I wish this image would have been used there, and a Rita Hayworth or Betty Grable image (or the Driben painting on the tuck box) been the card back instead.
32 card faces feature paintings by well-known masters: 9 Gil Elvgren, 2 Antonio Vargas, 6 Peter Driben, 9 Enoch Bolles, 2 Pearl Frush, 1 each by George Petty, Edward Runci, Al Moore & Arthur Sarnoff. Any of these artists deserve their own deck; of course, many have that and more. Adding 22 more images from this list of artists would have created a worthy deck indeed; the difficulty would have been choosing the card back from an embarrassment of riches.
The other 22 cards feature color & black-and-white photographs of models and actresses ranging from unknown to iconic; this is an entirely different genre, not classic artwork from the golden pin-up age. Classic photos of Hayworth, Bardot, Russell, etc. are intermingled with nameless bikini beauties splashing in the surf.
Many a playing card collector is an appreciator of beauty, and there are beautiful images here. I’m just not sure if they add up to anything when taken as a whole deck.
