::Backcard and Box Anatomy::

 

This section details the backcards from the 1980's classic My Little Ponies. Some carded versions can be very difficult to find. U. S. boxes and back cards are very similar, having all the same information on both.  The only noticeable difference is a card has a hanger and a box often does not.  U. S. back cards have several standard features:  a back card story, proof of purchase, Horseshoe Points on the package, Hasbro information, and a hanger (most boxes don't have hangers).U.
