1967 Royal Castle Dolphins cards were issued by Royal Castle restaurants in the Miami area. There are 28 cards in the set: 26 players, Coach George Wilson, and a "Jr. Dolphin" card. The cards are about 4 1/4 by 3 inches, and they are printed on thin cardboard. All of the cards are scarce, and ten of them appear to be short prints, scarcer than the others. The backs of the cards say that two cards were made available each week of the season. The key card in the set is a pre-rookie card of Bob Griese.

According to an article in the Miami Herald, Royal Castle restaurants were modeled after White Castle, and at one time there were at least 185 Royal Castles in the Miami area. By 2008, the year the article was written, only one or two of the restaurants were still in operation. A message board thread on roadfood.com includes pictures of the last two Royal Castles.

The Royal Castle cards are not numbered, so I have listed the players in alphabetical order. The Jr. Dolphin card does not appear in the price guides, so I called it card #28.
