Description

Before the authors of my existence wrote my particular paragraph, a super-hip, ahead of its time airline existed that called itself Braniif International. What with the Emerald colored planes and the Pucci designer uniforms the stewardess' wore, Braniff was totally 60's fab.

One of the little things they gave away were these cool playing cards, with the BI logo on one side, and a nice, 60-ish but clean graphic on the other. The graphic related to some common travelers phrase, which was printed in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Cool way to learn a language.

There was a re-issue of the card set by Regulas, a German card and paper company, a few years back. They're a little hard to find now (I found them in Japan) but they're still cool.
