1998 Dart FlipCards Titanic trading cards take a historical approach to the doomed sea liner. The set mixes information, chase cards and even a couple of autographs to present something that’s fairly comprehensive but not too challenging to complete.
The base set has 72 cards and looks at the Titanic from several angles. It traces the Titanic from its planning and building through its tragic maiden voyage and the aftermath. People, places, things, art and photos are all used to tell the ship’s story.
Complimenting the main set are six White Star Gold Foil Die-Cut inserts. The feature ships and notable people with Titanic connections.
Also randomly available in packs are two autographs. The first is of Millvina Dean. When she passed away in 2009, she was the last remaining survivor from the Titanic. Also signing for the set is the late Ralph White who was part of the expedition to film the sunken ship.
Also part of the 1998 Dart FlipCards Titanic trading cards set are four binder-exclusive cards and an oversized lenticular card that was available through a mail-away offer.
In case you’re looking for trading cards of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and fancy necklaces, you’ll have to look elsewhere. Inkworks produced a simple factory set for the blockbuster, complete with a faux trunk for the box.
