Tail CardsAirplane trading cards of real airplanes
Airplane trading cards of any real airplane in the US, from a Cessna 172 to a Boeing 787. Type a tail number, the stats fill in from the FAA registry, add a photo, and we print and mail real cards.
Every airplane has a card
Tail Cards makes a trading card for every airplane on the FAA registry, more than 300,000 of them. Type a tail number and the card fills itself in: make, model, year, serial number, engine, seats, and a rarity tier set by how many of that type are flying. Add your own photo and a caption, and the card is ready.
Real cards, printed in the USA
Cards are standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading cards, printed on both sides on card stock and mailed to you. Each one carries a numbered holographic seal you can check at tailcards.com/v. Order a single card or a pack of up to 100.
Collect them
Rarity is real: common trainers, uncommon singles, rare warbirds and one-of-a-kind homebuilts. Collect the airplanes at your airport, every type you have flown, or a whole fleet. Airports have cards too, with the FAA sectional chart around the field on the front.
Who makes them
Owners, student pilots, instructors, airline pilots, spotters, and anyone who loves airplanes. They make a pilot gift people keep, a first solo keepsake, and a handout at fly-ins and airshows.
