The journey of Delta’s aircraft trading cards began in 2003 with the inaugural series, inspired by the earlier Northwest Airlines cards. This series marked a fresh start with card #1 and introduced a collection of 11 unique cards.
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.
