I collect SHI trading / collectors cards and encountered some difficulties at first in identifying individual cards whitin these sets. In the beginning I could only find one online reference for the shi card sets and sadly it contained no images. So I created this page as both an unofficial reference and a tribute to these fantastic card sets. Please note, there is now a link page to other sites with checklists / information for these cards, follow link at the bottom of this page.
All of the cards sets that have been produced to date (Jan 2008) are represented. 1. Shi All chromium from 1995, 2. Shi Visions of the Golden Empire from 1996, 3. Shi Mega Chromium Preview Set from 1997, 4. Shi Mega Chromium from 1998. There are images for everything I have listed related to the sets. Common cards for the 1995 set are online, I plan to include common cards for the 1996 set as well. I hope that you will find these references useful. Even if you don't collect the cards hopefully you enjoy them simply for the fine art value.
None of the scans of these cards come anywhere close to doing justice to the fantastic art or the high quality finish's of the actual cards. In some cases the colors of Chromium cards did not scan true. As an example silver tends to become blue and gold tends to look green. I'm confident you will still be able to appreciate them for what they are. Any questions or comments feel free to Email Me.

SHI : Mega Chromium
by Krome 1998,
Thirty card set. The entire base set is displayed here in photo
album format - Images
The foil wrapper the cards came in, found here - Images
There
are four Chase / Insert cards - Images.
All are
4" x 6" oversized cards.
This set came in two formats the Mega Chromium
and the Limited Edition "Hot Box" - Mega Chromium Extra.
The Hot Box cards have the exact same images except they are brighter
and more colorful with a brilliant finish. I did not post images
of the
Hot Box cards as they are the same images as the Mega Chromium set.
Simple scans would not be able to reproduce the fantastic finish
of those cards.
