Doesn’t hurt to ask every time you fly, whether your kids are with you or not. I try to ask when boarding (either the FA or a pilot), but have also gotten them deplaning. Lately I’ve been getting the old (foil stamped) and new (“holographic” but ridged plastic that shows two images) without asking, since many pilots have both. While there are a couple of versions for the 767s, there is still only one A320 card for all variants. And no CRJs that I’m aware of, but will check again in a couple weeks. Happy collecting!

I had no idea these trading cards existed until last month on an A220 flight from LGA to ORD.
Prior to take off the cockpit door was open when I went up to use the lavatory and so I had a look in. The pilots were kind enough to invite me in for a brief visit and chat about the A220 and how this was my first flight on the type as Qantas are only taking delivery in late 2023.
Later in the flight, the lead flight attendant brought a Delta A220 trading card and said it was a gift from the pilot. She also mentioned that there was one for each aircraft type and you could ask if the pilot had any on each flight.
There was no mention that these are for kids only
