1998 Series        2002 Series



Beginning in 1994 and continuing to around 2010, Pleasant Company produced several series of trading cards featuring all of the historical girls. They featured only cards from 1994-2001, and in 
2002 stickers were introduced. The illustrations on the cards came from the various story books 
and short story books for each girl. These cards came in card packs containing 10 cards.







1998 Series - 60 Cards

In 1998, a set of cards was created for Josefina the newest American Girl who had just been introduced in 1997. The illustrations in Samantha and Addy's books were completely redone sometime after 1994, and so a new set of 60 Samantha cards and 60 Addy cards were produced which were exactly like the 1994 cards except that they bore these revamped book illustrations. No changes were made to Kirsten, Molly or Felicity's cards in 1998. So, beginning in 1998, card packs contained 10 cards per pack featuring cards labeled "1998" for Samantha, Addy and Josefina and cards labeled "1994" for Kirsten, Molly and Felicity. The 1998 Series was Josefina's first card set.
