140 - Wolverine vs. Hulk
One of my favorite of the "Wolverine Vs." cards - both for the visual heft of the figures and for featuring Wolverine's whisker mask!

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.

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.

039 - Tyler
More fun w/Cable's vaguely-detailed backstory, this card was probably in development around the time of Cable #6-8, when we knew the character was back but before he dubbed himself Genesis and stole Wolverine's nose.
-
027 - Sunspot
Capturing Sunspot's power glow-up era. Something about the domino mask on his "dark solar" face works really well, despite being functionally ridiculous.

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.
-
024 - Psylocke
I believe this might be the first Psylocke card to reflect the Kwannon retcon in its cardback text.
Also, another card featuring a panel from something other than the character's first appearance on the back.

Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda
So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

Card #006: Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi
Obi-Wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time...a long time...
People give Obi-Wan crap for not changing Luke's last name, but it's not like he changed his own, either.
-
Card 099: The fury of Storm
And with that, the animated series subset concludes with nary a look or mention of Cyclops...
-
Card 098: The claws of Wolverine
And now what we all came for: another Wolverine card.
-
Card 097: The power of Professor X
Is it weird that all the words in the titles of these cards aren't capitalized? It feels weird. "The Power of Professor X" feels better.
-
Card 096: Beast hangs out
I guess it's cuz the cardbacks are trying to tell a cohesive narrative but it's curious Beast gets highlighted when he was backpedaled for so much of S1.
Also, they skipped Cyclops' intro. 😢
-
Card 095: Jubilee's fireworks
The cropping on this one seems off. I suppose they were trying to highlight the eponymous fireworks, but the effect doesn't pop on the card as much & results in too much "mall" on the card.
-
Card 093: Persuasion, Gambit-style
Your regular reminder that the tone for animated Gambit was struck immediately in his first onscreen appearance as he shamelessly flirted w/the sales person while buying playing cards in bulk
-
Card 092: The Sentinel strikes!
As with the other cards in the set, the overall design detracts from the impact of the main image, but this does make for a striking card image.
