1960s American Airlines Playing Cards UNOPENED Astrojets SEALED DECK
Here is your chance to own this unopened deck of American Airlines playing cards from the 1960s. The cards are promoting AA’s short lived fleet of planes known as Astrojets, along with the corporate slogan “America’s Leading Airline”.
In the early 1960s, American Airlines was inspired to rename its aircraft Astrojets by the advertising agency Doyle Dane Bernbach - the same agency had recently turned the Volkswagen Beetle from an ugly German car into a cult counter-culture classic. The Convair 990s were the first aircraft in the fleet to be called “Astrojets” rather than Flagships. The name didn’t stick and within less than four years American would be looking for a new identity. Certainly an interesting piece of commercial aviation history!
The cards are still sealed and are in essentially
new, mint condition
. A wonderful addition to any collection of AA or aviation memorabilia or ephemera. Will also ship internationally, though will have determine the cost of shipping depending on where it is being shipped.
COMES FROM A NON-SMOKING HOME.
Please note that I pride myself on the care taken to package and ship items I sell on eBay. A quick read of my Feedback will bare this out. When possible I also try to recycle shipping materials to not only be more sustainable, but also to keep shipping costs as low. Be assured I never compromise the quality of materials used in shipping just to save money. As an active buyer on eBay I know what it is like to receive something that has been damaged in shipping and I never want that to happen with items I sell.
Thanks in advance for bidding!
