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.

Northwest Airlines Trading Pilot and Aircraft Cards
In the 1990s, Northwest Airlines started offering “pilot cards.” These tracing cards had aircraft information and could be handed out and signed by the pilot. The first Aircraft cards even had a spot on the face for the pilot to sign. Northwest Airlines was the first company to offer aircraft trading cards, and without a doubt, this is where Delta Airlines got the idea for aircraft trading cards.
These cards are printed on very thin cardstock. They are much thinner than even the first Delta cards.
The Northwest Airlines cards do not have issue numbers, but the later tracing cards do have long numbers on the back that are unique. To my knowledge, this is all of the Northwest Airlines cards, but if you have one I do not have or have a variant, PLEASE let me know. I would love to add it!
(Date Unknown) Northwest Airlines Pilot Cards (First Series)
I wish I had known when Northwest Airlines printed these aircraft trading cards. This first printing doesn’t have the KLM alliance listed on the cars, and I believe they were printed in the early 1990s before the 10-year "Global Joint Venture "with KLM in 1997. I suspect it was around 1992 as all the aircraft and even the pictures are the same as the second printing.
