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.

Which Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 New Mutants card is the best?
Art from Bill Sienkiewicz, Bo Hampton & Joe Phillips.
-
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
-
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.

Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 combined Excalibur triptych

123 - Excalibur Part 3
I appreciate that Feron's cloud head is on Rachel's card. Poor Micromax doesn't make the cloud head cut (he does at least get name checked on the card back).

122 - Excalibur Part 2
I messed up yesterday & jumped from X-Men Blue to Excalibur, but I'll finish out the triptych then go back.
It's too bad Widget couldn't make it onto Kitty's card since, you know, it's her.

115 - Excalibur Part 1
Thanks to the fact that Excalibur at the time was only three members, this triptych basically serves as second cards for those members - w/past team members in the background as heads-in-clouds.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
001 - Cyclops
This set immediately corrects a wrong from previous sets by starting off with the #1 X-Man. 😀
-
027 - X-Treme
Seems apt that this is the last card of the "set."
Nary a hint of "Adam X" to be found!

019 - Khaos
Fun fact: writer Evan Skolnick repurposed this character from Dungeon & Dragons campaigns he played in high school & college.

Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 original X-Men!
(Sorry Iceman, you don't get a card in this set).
Which card is your favorite?

-
083 - Nova
I like the idea of showing Nova flying out of a city vs. dropping him into a space setting. Nice zag.
-
082 - Hercules
"Take THAT dad!" Clever idea for a Hercules card.
I love the Leather Jacket Avengers, but Hercules' metal shoulder pads have never done it for me.
-
070 - Hawkeye
The cardback bio conveniently leaves out his brief detour into super-villainy before joining the Avengers.
I feel like the West Coast Avengers needed more "doing stuff around recognizable LA landmarks."
-
037 - Adam Warlock
This looks like something you could find painted on the side of a conversion van in the late 70s or early 80s - which is exactly the appropriate vibe for Adam Warlock.
-
035 - Thanos
Great Thanos - the smirk really sells it. Now a member of the Infinity Watch!
Also love pre-thicc, randomly-shoved-into-Iron Man Thanos on the back.
-
017 - Beast
"Loquacious discourse on apocrypha" IS my cup of tea!
Another great Perez card.
-
016 - Archangel
Curiously, neither his first appearance as Angel nor Archangel is cited on the cardback; rather it's randomly the 5th issue of X-Men.
-
014 - Thing
One of my favorite cards in this set. Love that Perez made some fully-painted contributions to the series.
-
Card 137: The Origin of Cable
Things I love about this card:
1. It's another mystery that's basically "who dis?"
2. It gets solved relatively soon.
3. Lil' Cable.
4. #GeorgePerez drawing characters like Grizzly & Askani. -
Card 110: Archangel
His wings get clipped (high oh!) by the nine panel grid, but I do like how his body extends past the bottom border. In general,
Thibert does a good job making these figures feel bigger on the card.
-
Card 081: Klaw
Nice to see another classic baddie, with his first trading card to boot!
Still a shame we never got a "pink guy" version of Klaw in the MCU.

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?
