So you find yourself with a piece of paper, cardboard, or plastic that is somewhat shaped like a card and that is clearly from My Little Pony, but you are not sure what this specific card is from. If at all possible there are three things you need to identify about the card:
- what generation or year is represented on the card
- what is the purpose of the card
- who was the manufacturer of the card
Below are various galleries with examples to also help with identification.
Cards that came with the toys can be part of or the whole of the back packaging, or separate trading cards.
Backs of the packaging that included fun facts or blurbs are called "back cards." G2 and G3 could even have specific parts to cut out. These can vary by type of toy and over time. See individual pony pages for their back cards.

G3
G4
G5
G3.5 and G4 blind bag ponies could come with their own separate trading cards. These would say that they are printed by Hasbro, and could have a simple blurb about the pony featured, and may have images of the whole collection of blind bags on one side. The styles of the front of the card can vary by wave, so see full galleries at the links.
Cards meant to be sent as a greeting card, Valentine's Day card, or post card could be made by companies like American Greetings, Hallmark, and Paper Magic Group, and would have places to personalize with names and notes. See full galleries at the links.
G1 Greeting Cards from the 1980s.
Retro G1 Greeting Cards from later dates but still featuring G1 ponies.

Cards made like typical trading cards that generally feature a particular character or scene, and may come with biographies, quotes, and trivia on the other side, were made by Enterplay and Kayou for G4 and Equestria Girls. Card styles vary by series over time. Please consult the galleries to identify your particular card.
Gaming cards or tiles could be made to fit a particular card or board game. These may have very little information on them or game instructions on them. These can be manufactured by typical game manufacturers, which can include Hasbro.
Specific cards designed to be collectible gaming cards were also made by Enterplay, Renegade Games Studios, and Wizards of the Coast.
