This collectible grouping comprises two complete decks of novelty playing cards titled Sassy Swimsuits. Produced in Belgium during the late 20th century, specifically between the 1980s and 1990s, the set is housed in a dedicated clear plastic two-compartment storage case.
Each deck is constructed of laminated cardstock and produced using an offset lithography printing process. The decks feature distinct back designs: one includes a pink border depicting a blonde model, while the second features a blue border showing a brunette model. The faces of the cards, ranging from Ace through King, showcase individual color photographs of glamour models in varied swimwear and suggestive poses, with some cards incorporating artistic nudity.
The combined dimensions of the storage case are 5.00 inches in length, 1.00 inch in width, and 3.75 inches in height, with a total weight of 6.30 ounces. This set represents a thematic example of late 20th-century novelty ephemera, utilizing contemporary printing techniques to feature glamour photography within a traditional playing card format.
