Published at the height of the "pin-up girl" craze the 1940-45 "Hot-Cha Girls" set features colorful drawings of scantily-dressed women captioned by (not always) humorous double-entendres describing the situation or pose in the drawing. The full-color cards were printed on heavy card stock and distributed in vending machines perfect for use as postcards or of course as pin-ups. The cards were distributed to vendors in large vending boxes each containing 500 cards. Presented here is an original vending box plus the 93 cards that were discovered in the box when our consignor found it. In addition the collection includes another 110 cards from the set (no "My Drivers License") the original box and the box label (which has over time become removed from the box itself. The box is in good condition with lots of age-related peeling toning and a few tears at the edges and corners. The cards inside are largely in EX-MT condition with many better and a few lesser. 203 cards total.
