Delta Airlines cards organize by Collections.

These cards were Cards printed by Delta Airlines and handed out by Delta Pilots. You can get them by asking any Delta pilot. Each set of cards was released at different times and covered the aircraft in service at that time. Each set of Delta Aircraft cards is different, and some of them had interesting release problems. You can find a full list of cards in spreadsheet form here.


2003 Delta Aircraft cards

These were the first Delta aircraft cards. They are similar to the earlier Northwest airlines cards seen HERE, but they started numbering the cards from #1


2004 Delta Aircraft cards

With the second series of Delta Aircraft cards Delta tried to celebrate the destinations and the aircraft. With card #18 Delta celebrated 75 years of service.


2010 Delta Aircraft cards

With almost 6 years between sets of new Delta Cards, Delta Airlines returned to the more straightforward format of the first set, but they opted to keep all the backs with the same format.

Oddly enough, we were recently shown a Veriant of the #23 card. Apparently, Delta printed some with a different face. the back is identical to the normal.


2015 Delta Aircraft cards

Delta changed from the horizontal format for the fourth set of cards. As well as changing the cards to a portrait format, they added a holographic image that changed depending on the direction it was viewed. The secondary image was the same on all cards, but the aircraft image changed with the card. Delta also moved the card number to the front of the card.


2016 Delta Aircraft cards

Delta made the fifth set of Delta Airline cards glossy and more artistic, but they dropped the Holographic double image. Delta also moved the Card number back to the back of the card, and they rounded the corners of the cards. This is also the Set with the most confusing organization. Delta printed card #42 (747), but they never released it untell a warehouse sale in 2023. On top o that, they published two different #51 cards. The first is the B767. This one is considered to be the true #51. After this, it gets even more confusing. The second #51 was to be the CS100 (#51C). After printing these cards, Delta chose not to purchase the CS100s, so this card was never issued. It is considered to be the most challenging card to find. However, you can find them on eBay from time to time. Instead, Delta purchased the A220 and reprinted the card of the CS100 but labeled it as the A220. This card is commonly called the #51 vertical (#51V). To fix the situation, 3 years later, Delta re-made the A220 card with the image of an A220, but they decided to print this card Horizontally. This card is referred to as the #51 horizontal (#51H). But that is not all; later, in 2019, they decided to reprint the #51 again. It is the same as the #51H (#51H100), but it has A220-100 printed on it rather than just A220. Because of this, there are FIVE different cards with #51 on them.


2022 Delta Aircraft cards

After the craziness of the 2016 cards, Delta printed a clean set for the sixth set. these cards have a similar feel to the 2016 cards but they moved the card number back to the front.


Delta Experiences Cards

In 2024, Delta started offering collector cards for their Experience flights. These are special flights to attractions and events.


2004 Delta CONNECTIONS Aircraft cards

I wish I knew more about these cards. I have only ever seen one, and I have only been able to get one. I presume these were the same as the first set but cards that were issued for the regional flights that Delta operated. If you have any more information on these, please send me an email and let me know. JamesWright@WoodByWright.com
