American Airlines Trading Cards
In response to the popularity of pilot trading cards on social media, and in a swift response to the Allied Pilots Association’s cards, American Airlines (AA) headquarter announced the creation of these cards on 15th April 2026.
The seven cards launched by AA not only feature the mainstay machines but also a throwback to the vintage aircraft dating as far back as 1936! The completed set also features a change in the colors, from black and grey to bright and blue; A nod to the chronological timeline each aircraft was introduced to the AA fleet.
AA Pilots are provided a deck of the cards all in a random order and quantity of each type. While pilots try to offer the cards for their respective aircraft, savvy avgeeks can be rewarded with a surprise if they politely ask for a retro card instead.

*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.
