At one time, I collected a ton of these things. I found a binder full of them recently, and thought I'd share a tiny portion of what I have.

my older sisters collected them like crazy, cause they were the big craze circa 1992 or so. i was only 5 at the time, so i just picked out my favorites and put them in my bike spokes or something juvenile like that
we still have like 3 or 4 binders full of them in storage. i wonder if they're worth anything...

I have entire sets of the old Wolverine Cards. '94 Fleer Ultras, '95 Fleer Ultras, and some older Marvel Universe set that has tons of different Marvel characters and cards that have Spider-Man interviewing random Marvel characters. I cherish them. I also have other, random Marvel cards as well. Oh, and that Wolverine Fatal Attractions card is one of my favorite cards of anything I own. And I have a LOT of old rare cards(mainly baseball). I have that one and the one where Xavier mind s him into a coma set side by side in those hard plastic cases in my room.

I don't know that they're worth anything. Depending on what comic shop or collectibles show you go to, they're usually pretty cheap. I know there were "chase" cards, but I can't tell you the value.

I remember those too. Some of them came with the original X-Men figure line. Those were the last marvel figures I owned as well... Wolvie with his removable mask, retractable claws and katana, colossus with a big ass dumbell, cyclops with.... a red lightbulb in his head.... nightcrawler with his cute bendy tail I remember those vividly, as I made my mother buy me several of them when I went to the dentist around second grade(?) or so... I can't pinpoint the year, but those figures were good fun.

I have binders upon binders of Marvel trading cards. From the very first series to things in the mid-1990s. Edit:And the same can be said about DC trading cards.

My favorite Marvel memory is buying some marvel role playing game back in grade school... RPG's were the crap in the mid 80's-early 90's if you remember. I forget how much it cost, but I remember paying the comic book guy in PENNIES. All pennies. I saved up for a long time just to get this lame RPG that I barely even used, and I paid the guy in pennies. The guy still works at the store, and he still hates my guts to this day, eventhough I have since bought loads of overpriced crap from him

I used to collect these as a child. My dad would just buy a box of them when they came out and I would get a full set. I have like, the first 4 sets of Marvel cards all complete.
I also have the whole first series of Marvel Masterpieces with the "chase" cards hanging on the back of my door. Pretty cool thing to look at.
