2016-2019 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. For 8 years, all the collectors assumed they never printed #42. On top of that, they published five 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). This one was never released but was also sold at the Delta warehouse sale. After printing these cards, Delta chose not to purchase the CS100s, so this card was never issued. It was considered to be the most challenging card to find untell card #42 was sold at the garage sale. Instead of the CS-100, 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. Also, this last one has the back printed 180 degrees to the #51. One more little oddity. Because of this, there are FIVE different cards with #51 on them. Good Luck Collecting them all!
In 2025, the Delta garage sale started selling extra #44 cards. But these were printed slightly differently. The “767” was not as bold, and the first 7 was printed below the wing. The original was above the wing. My guess is this was printed at the same time as the 51H100 as that card also has the thin text.
On top of all of that, they rolled the Delta connections cards into the main line cards with the printing of the #50 CRJ-900

*Rarity is subjective, but based on the Pilot Card Guys' experience. Many cards have a higher value but are relatively common. So rarity is not closely correlated to value on eBay.
