Spirit this week debuted a series of branded trading cards that customers can collect on their flight.

The cards are sponsored by Airbus and feature Airbus aircraft that have been used by Spirit over the years, including the A319, A320, A320neo, A321, and A321neo. The cards also showcase the evolution of Spirit’s liveries, from its gray-scale “brick” design to the modern bright yellow.

Passengers must ask Spirit pilots for the cards during boarding or deplaning, the airline said.

Several U.S. airlines offer trading cards or other collectibles, such as challenge coins and plastic wings. In November, Hawaiian Airlines rolled out a set of four trading cards featuring Airbus and Boeing aircraft and printed on rainbow foil board for a unique shine.

Spirit previously had digital trading cards, also featuring its fleet, on its social media channels.
