Trading Card STL“We are inundated by requests from airport and aviation fans all over the world for anything that carries our S-T-L airport code,” said Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, Director of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. “We led the effort to create the trading card series with ACI-NA to satisfy the great demand out there by collectors. More importantly, the trading cards will connect collectors with the unique stories of each airport to the larger network of aviation, which is so important to communities across North America.”
