  1. 139 - Wolverine vs. Omega Red

    Design-wise, going landscape for these "vs." cards makes sense, but I don't love how the card name stays in the same spot as if the image was portrait oriented.

  3. 138 - Wolverine vs. Cyber

    Cracking these packs as a kid, I didn't realize just how many Marvel greats worked on this set. We've had John Romita Sr., Bill Sienkiewicz, and now Mike Zeck.

  6. 137 - Wolverine vs. Sabretooth

    New category: Wolverine's Greatest Battles!

    Recognizing what all the kids really want in 1994, this set just goes all-in on Wolverine for one of its categories.

  9. 136 - Thunderbird

    Can't do a collection of inactive X-Men without arguably the most famous one of all.

    Somewhere along the way, I misplaced this card, so these images are from @tradingcarddb.

  10. Which Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 New Mutants card is the best?

    Art from Bill Sienkiewicz, Bo Hampton & Joe Phillips.

  11. 135 - Mastermind

    One of the better trading card/static image depictions of Mastermind's powers.

    The power description is reaching a bit; he technically doesn't go into people's minds - he needed help to do that w/Phoenix

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #JamesSullivan

  12. 134 - Dark Phoenix

    Can't do a "dead X-Men" subset without Dark Phoenix!

    The description of her powers on the cardback seems to have forgotten Phoenix was also telepathic.

  13. 133 - Mimic

    As someone with a lot of fondness for the (not very good) 60s X-Men stories, I appreciate Mimic getting a card (presumably due to his imminent return as part of the Onslaught build-up).

  14. 042 - Dazzler

    Well done painting but the shoulder strap makes me think she has a cigarette & the light effects make me think she has peacock feathers.

    Also, I don't know that she's ever *met* Xavier, let alone been trained by him.

    #TradingCardADay #FUXM1 #XMen #BrianStelfreeze

  15. 024 - Boomer

    I don't love the time-bombs - they look too much like soap bubbles - but otherwise a solid card, with Stelfreeze rendering a fair amount of personality.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 005 - Jubilee

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

  19. Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 #FantasticFour!

    (With Reed and Sue sitting this series out, we're getting flexible with the definition),

    Which card is YOUR favorite?

  20. Marvel Masterpieces Series 2. The 90s called, they want their villains back.

    Which card is your favorite?

  21. 065 - Sasquatch

    The tension is probably the point, but it's still weird seeing a Sasquatch card in an urban setting.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Sasquatch #AlphaFlight #BrianStelfreeze

  22. 060 - Mystique

    Back in the day, this cardback was the first time I'd seen OG Mystique. I remember being fascinated by it, the minor ways the character's look was similar to and different from what I was used to.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Mystique #XMen #BrianStelfreeze

  23. 034 - Stryfe

    Bless Joe Jusko for painting all those spikes.

    This is just about the last year Stryfe can legitimately claim being deserving of a trading card.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Stryfe #XMen #XForce #JoeJusko

  24. 027 - Rogue

    Cool idea, but Rogue's figure just seems...off.

    And of course, it's "Confusingly Older Looking First Appearance" Rogue on the cardback.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Rogue #Xmen #BrianStelfreeze

  25. 025 - Morbius

    Continuing the 90s era renaissance of 70s horror characters, Morbius continues to be a mainstay of these sets.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Morbius #MidnightSons #BrianStelfreeze

  26. Card 146: Cable vs Stryfe

    The purple gas cloud is weird, obscuring big chunks of the figures in awkward ways. I guess it's supposed to be time eating them?

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #PatBroderick #FamousBattles #Cable #Stryfe

  27. Card 060: Cardiac

    Cardiac is one of those chicken/egg 90s characters: was he a big deal & that's why he got so many cards, or do I just assume he was a big deal cuz he's on a bunch of cards?

    And is there a difference?

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #RonLim #Cardiac

  28. Card 036: Stryfe

    In really his last year as a Big Deal Character, Stryfe and his enormous cape finish out the X-Force page.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #XForce #XMen #Stryfe

  29. Card 063: Deathbird

    Given she hadn't appeared in the series since before the '91 relaunch, seems like Deathbird is riding her Avengers' appearances to this card, something the cardback seems to acknowledge.

    #TradingCardADay #XM2 #XMen #Deathbird

  30. Card 044: Stryfe

    It's worth noting that at the point these cards were out, we were already past the point of Stryfe's (brief) heyday as a major X-villain (not that anyone necessarily knew that at the time).
