1994 Collect-A-Card Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Hobby is the first set of mainstream trading cards to delve into the TV series that was a legitimate phenomenon at the time. Released in two similar but separate series, the hobby version is not exactly the same as sets put out at the same time at retail. Besides some design differences, hobby has inserts that aren’t available elsewhere.
1994 Collect-A-Card Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Hobby Checklist Overview
The base set has 144 total cards — 72 in Series 1 and another 72 for Series 2. Between them are plenty of cards covering the Power Rangers, Rita Repulsa and her roster of creatures, and the action that followed when good and bad collided.
The designs and color choices haven’t aged well but one could look at it now as a time capsule of the time where over-designing things was common.
Powerfoil parallels are available for both Series 1 and 2. These add a major upgrade to the border with etched foil.
Series 1 hobby packs also have one of ten different Power Caps, in case you need a reminder of POGs.
The inserts are stronger in Series 2, but noticeably tougher. Besides the Powerfoil parallels, there’s a dozen Power Morpher cards that flip between two images thanks to the magic of lenticular technology.
Ranger Biography cards are the toughest in either series, landing 1:72 packs. Rarity is the key with these over premium quality, though they do have a foil stamp.
Hobby Vs. Retail
Collect-A-Card released similar but separate sets at both hobby and retail for both sets. In addition to inserts, there are some differences in the base sets. The photos and descriptions are the same but the borders are different.
Series 1 hobby cards have a dark purple-to-red gradient on the front. On the back, the border starts out blue and changes to yellow. Retail packs sold at Walmart transition from purple to green on the front and green to blue on the back.
Series 2 is even more complicated with three different versions: hobby, retail and Walmart. However, the gradient borders gave way to solid colors. Hobby has yellow fronts in Series 2. Standard retail has red while Walmart fronts are blue.
