ChoiceFire Collectible Fire Trading Cards 9/11 Memorial Set FDNY

ChoiceFire 9/11 10th anniversary memorial set.  This set takes a look at the apparatus that would come to replace what was lost in the 9/11 attacks, while also including what was temporarily assigned to each house. Each set includes 32 cards in a felt-lined box and includes individually numbered certificates of authenticity.

9/11 Impact

These are collectible tribute firefighter trading cards, which feature the fire trucks after the collapse of the Twin Towers. Each of the cards relates different 9/11 stories. The images are striking and haunting.

Spirit of the Game

Donruss Studio produced this Spirit of the Game set clearly in reaction to 9/11.

Baseball Cards for Your Album

These Topps baseball card tributes were available in 2002. The cards feature images of the different ways that September 11th was commemorated at MLB games. It was no surprise that September 11th was highly visible at baseball games and with collectible products like baseball cards. Baseball symbolizes (and inspires) American life.

9.11 Trading Cards?

Featured in a black box, these Heroes cards feature the following line on the box: "They are not heroes because they died, they are heroes because they lived." Is this a striking tribute? In the form of a trading card, a connection to the all American baseball card, what do people first think of when they see these cards? The box offers a lunch with local fire departments, patches, and a striking World Trade Center image revealed by 15 subset cards. Is this commercialism or a new trend in mourning? By incorporating the victims of September 11th into a card, they are heightened in a symbolic, heroic manner, but at the same time, it seems to trivialize their memory.
