Build notes
New article, 11 November 2026. The title was chosen by Bill.
The resource is the live Google Drive folder. An existing Wayback capture of 23 March 2025 was opened and checked: it shows the public folder listing (title STAR WARS CCG; Premiere, Errata, Virtual Cards and Miscellaneous are present) and is not a permission wall. A new Internet Archive save of a Google Drive folder is not always reliable, so that capture is the Preserved copy; the live folder remains the resource link. Preserved copy: Internet Archive.
The forum thread is cited from Route C snapshots: t65510.html (first page, including the 21 February 2023 first-post edit; Preserved copy: Internet Archive) and t65510-start260.html (the 26 September 2021 master-folder post; Preserved copy: Internet Archive). Both captures were opened from their Wayback id_ URLs. Live forum.starwarsccg.org URLs are not cited.
26 September 2021 is the date of strangewayes' later forum post about moving the set folders into one master folder, not a Drive API timestamp.
600 dpi is the author's description of the archive, not an independent measurement. TIFF format was confirmed in the Premiere Light folder (162 TIFF files) and the Card Backs folder (Dark.tif and Light.tif) from opened embedded listings. Other set folders, at the parent level, have Light and Dark subfolders and matching .rar archives; those inner folders were not all opened for the article. Miscellaneous also contains two Mara_Jade_LS2.png files, which are not mentioned in the article.
The first post still contains a status line ("Virtual cards are currently being implemented. Errata to follow.") that predates the folder contents (Virtual Sets 0–9 and Errata are present). That line is not repeated in the article body.
The 21 February 2023 first-post update also describes a later remaster project that strangewayes said he does not control and does not participate in. That project is omitted from the article. The date is used only as the last edit of the first post and for his statement that he would continue to maintain the download links.
No personal email address or Drive account display name is used on the article or on Strangewayes.
The article is in Category:Fan sites. Category:Fan projects was not created, so that category would have had only the new article.

Print-ready card files (12 November 2026)
Added a section for the stickied 9 January 2021 r/starwarsccgalters post "MPC Print Ready Cards - Links to drives and community disclaimer" (author sharedmod; created-timestamp 2021-01-09T22:24:20+0000 on the opened capture) and the Google Drive folders it lists, including Andyt563's Shared SWCCG folder.
The 8 October 2026 Wayback capture was opened from its id_ URL on Bill's PC (manpc) and contains the full post text and the "Stickied post" label. A later attempt to re-open the 29 January 2021 capture was blocked by the Wayback Machine as suspected bot traffic, so that earlier capture is not used as the Preserved copy. https://archive.ph/ZUIVX, already cited on Making Custom SWCCG Cards as an archive.today copy of this post, was opened on 12 November 2026 and is not this Reddit post (it is Project Gutenberg text). That date-and-archive discrepancy is also recorded on Talk:Making Custom SWCCG Cards. Making Custom SWCCG Cards currently dates the post 11 January 2021; the capture's created-timestamp is 9 January 2021, which is the date used here.
Andyt563's ordinary Google Drive folder URL has no usable Wayback listing (existing captures are 302 redirects or a Google "Update your browser" help page). The Preserved copy is a 12 November 2026 capture of the public embedded folder view of the same folder id, opened from the VPS (gemp), gunzipped, and checked against the live listing (title Shared SWCCG; set folders 01–15 from Premiere through Premium; Templates; playmat JPEGs). That listing also contains a "Star Wars CCG Haves List.xlsx" and a "Star Wars CCG Wish List.pdf", which are omitted from the article.
The January 2021 post described Andyt563's work as Premiere through Coruscant, ongoing; the live folder has later set folders for Reflections II, Reflections III, Theed Palace, and Premium. Andyt563 and AndyTalaga are listed separately in the post and are treated as two people. AndyTalaga is written as Andy Talaga (GEMP handle andytalaga). A matching sentence was not added to Andy Talaga in this sitting, because that article already has open ARCHIVE lint flags.
Other handles in the post (Chrknudsen, Ubik_Fresh, Scoops Ahoy, Izzarp, Anachrokate, Lhamo66, Alderaan Operatives, Rechelon, Swccgfan617, sharedmod) do not yet have person pages. Folder titles in the Preserved copies were used to identify the drives, not to add extra set or expansion names beyond what the post states. The post's informal wording was not copied. Card images were not uploaded or hotlinked. The post's sentence about front-loading an order with other proxies is omitted.
The word MPC is used as the post uses it (a print service, also mentioned with Printer Studio). It is not the Midwest Player Championship.

Person pages for print-ready drives
Andyt563 is the GEMP handle on Andrew Thomas; Chrknudsen is the forums and GEMP handle on Christian Knudsen. Those person pages now have the Drive links, and Fan projects now names them. Handle redirects Andyt563 and Chrknudsen were added.
The other names in the post were searched on the wiki (handle and any name the sources give, without guessing). Existing pages: Andy Talaga, Bardez, Andrew Thomas, Christian Knudsen. No person or group pages were found for Ubik_Fresh, Scoops Ahoy, Izzarp, Anachrokate, Lhamo66, Alderaan Operatives, Rechelon, or Swccgfan617.
