Where's THAT Picture From?

Many years ago, on the Decipher forums an industrious user named Siskoid started working on a project called "Where's That Picture From?". He endeavoured to identify the episode source for every single image in the game. When he ended that project in 2005 he'd catalogued almost all of the cards out at the time (which was all of the Decipher First Edition cards, and the first three expansions for Second edition).

Since then, the project has been left by the wayside. There's always been a desire to see it updated and continued, but it was such a massive undertaking that it never quite made it to the top of the priority list. I'm happy to say that recently that's changed. Once the Creative teams were formed, there was an interest in cataloguing all of the images on the cards to make it easier to track which images had already been used (to help avoid duplication). So with help from the Creative teams and the Art team, we managed to get most of the images catalogued. Thanks to an overwhelming response to the request that I put out last week for extra help, we had some fantastic extra volunteers help us give the final push towards completeness. There are still a few cards that aren't entirely placed, but for the most part everything has found a home.

So now, thanks to an effort started long ago by Siskoid, and continued more recently by teams of our volunteers, I'm happy to present to you the new Where's That Picture From section of our website. You'll also find links on all of the cards (in all three databases: First Edition, Second Edition, and Tribbles) linking you to the exact series and episode from which the picture was taken, so that you can quickly see at a glance which other cards had images from the same episode. Enjoy! And thanks again to everybody that helped to make this possible!
