From the old Stargate Trading Card game.

There was an online version of this that had it's servers shutdown around 2009, I believe. Shame, I would've liked to play it.

I want to 3D print a car emblem, but I'm not sure how to get a chrome finish.

I wonder if there's an archive of cards out there!

Someone on reddit was creating a high resolution set. They made a post saying they were done, but no account activity for over a year.

If you find it, please shout out and let us know.

I have been looking to find uplaods of the cards but everything online that says they have one leads to a dead link. I have found someone that made templates of the cards but I would need a list of the cards and the info on them to recreate them.

Someone has already done all that, even going so far as finding the exact frame of video used for the character so they can screen shot a fresh image.

They said they'd finished it, but they just stopped posting.

I got a copy of the online version, but the assets are compiled. If I could figure out how to open the files I could get the whole first release digitally, but the resolution isn't there.

There is a list of all cards online if you google for it.

That's the issue they stopped posting updates and it I can't seem to find any complete uploads. Worse part is most of the images online are from the online game and the cards in that game are very low quality. That's why I'm sadly thinking of recreating the cards in higher quality.

Well, If you ever do, let me know. I'd love to have a copy of this game.

I've considered programming an offline version of it, but recreating the cards is one of the obstacle that prevents me from seriously entertaining it as a project.
