Oooooohhhh!!  Your MOCs are AMAAAAAZING!  I adore backcard art, I completely understand you desire to collect them.  I wish I had even a fraction of your collection!  So great, thanks for sharing!

Absolutely gorgeous collection! One of my favorite collections that I've ever seen because you chose so many of my most cherished childhood ponies. I love them all! Such colorful cards! They all look SO pretty! I really hope the bubbles do not ever yellow. I have been so upset to see a couple of mine yellow a lot in the 20+ years I've had them. They used to be so clear and it makes me really sad. Some of the bubbles don't seem to yellow even though kept the exact same way so I'm not sure what to do to prevent it.

Thank you so much all for your kind comments on some of my pretties :D

@CherryTreats, is your avatar perhaps from Cherry Treats' UK card? It looks very familiar :D I don't have Cherry Treats MOC yet (she is one of my childhood ponies) but I do have one with her card and bubble and I'm sure I recognise that artwork :D

I don't think we can protect bubbles, unfortunately :( The plastic will age eventually whether we like it or not :D

Taffeta, it's actually from a Cherry Treats backcard that's in Italian, but it sounds like the UK card must have the same artwork. :D I love seeing any backcards or other pics of Cherry Treats. I don't think I have seen the UK card before. MOC Cherry Treats was one of the first ponies I got since I started recollecting. I love her so much. :D It's too bad about the plastic bubbles yellowing. I'm not sure if my Cherry Treats bubble yellowed at all since I got her. I would have to compare pics of her from a long time ago to now. Sometimes it happens so gradually over so many years that I don't realize it until I compare it to old pics.

Yep, by the time you get into the 1990s, most of Europe had the same kind of style card, with the borders. Somewhere I have a picture of my one with her card and bubble - I wanted it in English because I didn't keep my own one's card as a child :( Something that inspired my passion for pony backcards I suspect!

I like that she was chosen to be the poster-pony for the set, actually. One pony from each set always features prominently on the front of the card, and she looks so pretty there :D

Here she is :)

You can see my loose childhood one and loose US one in the background as well <3 I love this pony >.>

And her story in English :D No idea if it is the same as the US one though.

European ones are usually made in China and don't have forelocks, whereas the US one has a forelock and is usually made in Hong Kong. I don't understand Hasbro sometimes :)

Wow, I absolutely love that Cherry Treats!  :inlove: So beautiful! You have such an amazing collection! Thank you so much for sharing those pics! It really made my day!  :D Mine is the same backcard, only in Italian and without the forelock. I love getting to see it in English and read her story! It does look like the same story as the US one, but I love getting to see a version I haven't seen before. I'm happy that they made her the poster pony for the set too. I like having her on the front of the card. I did notice how the ones in the US have the forelock/made in Hong Kong and the others have no forelock/China. I love them both so much. I wish I'd kept all the backcards of my childhood too. The art is so pretty and colorful and I love the stories.  :)
