I wish I lived closer so I could *carefully* admire all your back card collection.  The art work is just so addictive :glitter: 

Thanks for sharing some drool worthy pics!

If you have a smart phone Google has an app called Photo scan that is amazing for scanning things that just cannot be put into a scanner. It's also 10x handier than a traditional scanner in my opinion it streamlines me copying family photos.

I do...but not a very powerful one. If my scanner were at home then it would be easier! But photos of the cards do come up well. Probably enough for a visual database but not enough for clipart or sig image/posters etc

I adore the G1 art. As others have said, I would pay a pretty penny for a G1 artbook. I love the art of the back cards and the art on the puzzles. Your collection is just wonderful. It is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. The packaging is such eye-candy.

You definitely need the third Tic Tac Toe. After all, it takes a set of three to win that game!  ;)

Gorgeous collection all around too!

How pretty! I love the MLP blister packages- the illustrations were just gorgeous and there is something awesome about seeing such a pristine gorgeous new pony...

I only have one MOC vintage pony- and the plastic is so yellowed it makes her look dirty

I have noticed that the bubbles on year 2 or year 3 ponies tend to go brownish easily. I have a couple of early US unicorns and pegasus ponies (no prizes for guessing who :P) but they weren't brown when I got them...now the're starting to be a bit. It;s not as bad as some others I've seen, my storage conditions are cool and dry so that may be why, but I have seen it on others from the same time period too. And on some of loose cards that have bubbles...I have a US Sunlight card with a brown bubble...and also I think my UK Blossom one. It's sad :/

Even Confetti (above) is going that way a bit. Though she's not too bad.

I would like to have a full set of year 2 and 3 pegasus and unicorns, but finding them is so hard without a discoloured bubble that I kind of just settled for the ones I already have :/

As my father use to say "we collector expect to keep items forever when all, even the longest material have a lifetime". So tue, as even with the most carefull use, things get olds and deteriorate.
Also, I'm pretty sure bubble plastic is cheap, that's explain why it didn't maintain well in time. :cry:

This is true. Given that, they do quite well. I mean, considering the stretch of time we're talking about here.
But then we don't last forever either. So I guess it's ok.
