About the TPTMTC Project

This website was born when I started collecting the Detroit Tigers team card rainbow in early 2025. During my search for the various parallels and variations, I got to stare at the image on the card for quite a bit. In the back of my head, I started to wonder where that picture came from and why it was chosen to be on the team card. At some point, someone on Reddit asked me if I knew from what game the picture was taken. I did a little research and, through some news photos and a short video, was able to find the exact moment that the card depcited. It was pretty neat, and that other Redditor agreed!

Then I realized that others may want to know more about the images on their baseball cards. I knew I couldn't do it alone but I did have some moderate skills in building websites. So I figured I'd start somewhere and then rely on the amazing baseball card community to help fill in the gaps and do some of the research.

Enjoy diving deeper in to your cards. Hopefully you'll find something cool!
