You must have been creating that checklist as I was typing because it wasn't there and I started to create it then stopped to post that I was going to take my time with it.

The first entry should be Archangel by the way, not just Angel.

I'll put the pic in but the name will have to be corrected.

I didn't make it...I saw it in the Recently uploaded and went to my "needs more research" scan file, lol.

Hmmn, I got a message that my set submission was created, maybe that person created the checklist as well.  Well, somebody needs to know to correct the name.  Maybe they were following the discussion here and pulled the names from it (with the one mistake though).

Yes, I just checked and Corky added the set I submitted then added the checklist as well.  I sent him a reply about the name change, hopefully he'll be able to take care of that.

Anyway, my cards are up now.  I'm glad I brought this up and several of us were able to pull together and get it up on the site.

(Edit) Corky has since edited the name, now let's just see if anyone else has the rest of the pics.

Just got around to reading more of this thread, yeah I'm getting slower with age. But anyways, I have all 9 of the X-Men cards that came with the figures in 1990. I was getting them for my son at the time and was saving the cards.

Apcoclypse is still sealed as I never could find but the one, and the first Wolverine card somehow fell into a 3 year-olds hands at the time and was destroyed. Later I found 2 more Wolverines and they are both still MOC. I hate to see what that tape has done to them by now. I have them in with my 1990 Impel Marvel set in a binder.

All my stuff is stored, so there is no telling when I can ever unload it all and gain better access to everything in order to do scans. Been stuck in this situation ever since I moved with not enough room since 2013. Hate to think of all the money I've wasted on storage fees just trying to hold on to my stuff.

Anyone with a collection that has to be in storage, sometimes you have to take a day and revisit it, take things out, go through them, to rekindle the joy of having them.  Now that's easier when it is stored in your home somewhere as opposed to a storage facility or someone else's house.  But the idea is, sometimes time spent taking things out to visit with, is a lot more rewarding than you might think ahead of time.

We've got 4 of the 9 cards uploaded already.  I'm not an authority but I would say the figures carded aren't worth very much, as articulation and sculpting has greatly improved since then, and more definitive versions of characters have been produced.  The early Toy Biz lines, you have to find a completionist, someone who maybe has some nostalgia connected to them, to get them to buy them today.

Yeah I vist often. But so many boxes....Sometimes I go pull a few out at random,

I don't really care about the value of the MOC stuff at this point, would be a victory to unpack them. Which may not seem like that big of a deal, but you should see the mass which comes out of just one rubbermaid container. I have hundreds of them.
