Most people who collect aircraft trading cards are aware of the six Delta Pilot Trading Card series…. in fact, that is the series that drew most of us into collecting. But did you know Delta had an eight-card series that predates that series?
This set was released sometime in the 1990’s, and given to Delta employees.
Each card in this series features a detailed image of an aircraft on the front, capturing the essence and design of various models in Delta’s fleet. The back of each card is just as informative, offering insights and specifications about the respective aircraft. Notably, the first card in this series is labeled as a “Limited Edition” and features a gold frame, adding a special allure for collectors.
This 2003 series set the tone for Delta’s commitment to celebrating their aircraft and sharing their passion for aviation through these collectible cards.
