  1. 021 - Cable

    Fantastic card. Love seeing Sienkiewicz doing one of the "later" New Mutants.

    This set briefly tries to make Six Pack happen, so Cable gets two Group Affiliations (Domino was flagged as Six Pack too).

  2. 020 - Domino

    Because this set eschews listing a character's first appearance on the cardback, we don't know if it would have cited New Mutants #98 or X-Force #11 for Domino.

  3. 019 - Shadowcat

    With this set apparently laid out in the short 4 issue window when Excalibur was composed of just three members, it also means it's the first set to feature Kitty in her new post-puffy blue sleeves look.

  8. 018 - Phoenix

    On her way out the door for a solid chunk of years, Rachel gets one of her better trading card depictions. The look of serenity on her face is a nice touch.

  9. 017 - Nightcrawler

    Perfect match of subject, approach & artist. Depicting Nightcrawler coming out of a teleport is clever & Sienkiewicz's abstract style creates the impression of a figure materializing from nowhere.

  10. 016 - Professor X

    Solid card, which manages to use his hoverchair without making it the dominate element of the image.

    I have always been distracted by whatever the pole thing is that looks like it's coming out of the monitor.

  11. 015 - Sabretooth

    Fantastic card. Love the "shredding" effect and just "Claws" as a power.

    That said, feels like the bio should offer some context as to why he's listed as as an X-Man (esp. since that's not quite true).

  12. 014 - Jean Grey

    Feels like maybe she should have deflected those missiles further out. 😏

    I like the contrast between her somewhat sedate, demure posing and the energy depicted by the missiles and her hair.

  15. 013 - Storm

    I appreciate that her flight coming from wind is called out.

    (cont.) From that one Christmas wax box, I was able to assemble a full set of cards - and IIRC, nabbed at least a half dozen chase cards.

  16. 012 - Archangel

    In the running for best Archangel card of all time.

    So after getting that wax box for Christmas, I somehow managed to show enough restraint to only open a few packs a day, and was able to stretch it out over break.

  17. 005 - Jubilee

    Great card, though I don't love the way it almost seems like she's missing her right arm.

  20. 023 - Legacy

    Pretty clearly the unqualified success of this "new character w/a trading card" gimmick, going on to hold down multiple volumes of a solo series.

    "Legacy" is still a pretty weak name, though.

  26. Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 Thors!

    How do you prefer your Thor: classic, 90s, or space horse?

  27. 012 - The Assassin

    For a nuclear-powered killer robot that dresses like a geisha, "Assassin" seems like a laughably generic name that is burying all kinds of ledes about the character.
