Team Set Showcase
Project overview
The 2025 IMG Academy Ascenders finished the season 24-1 and were crowned MaxPreps National Champions — beating six teams that had won a state or association championship, and winning both the Perfect Game High School Showdown and the IMGA National Classic.
To commemorate the run, Trading Card Memories designed and printed a 29-card set covering every player and the coaching staff. Each foil pack held the complete set, so everyone got the whole team in a single pack.
On top of the base set, TCM produced an autograph variation of every card — made for the players and coaches to sign and trade with each other as keepsakes — plus a one-of-one slabbed version of each player’s own card.
IMG Academy brought the roster, the photography, and the championship story. TCM handled design, print, autograph variations, packaging, and slabbing end to end.

Tap any card to inspect it in 3D — drag to rotate, flip to see the back.
Sealed foil packs
Every card was wrapped in a custom-printed foil pack — silver mylar carrying the IMG Academy Baseball crest, the Ascenders mark, and a 2025 National Champions seal.
But these packs weren’t random: each one held the complete 29-card set. Open a single pack and you got the whole team — every player and coach. Hit "Rip open a pack" up top to try it.
A signature on every card
Beyond the base set, TCM produced an autograph variation of every card — a dedicated signature panel built into the design. The players and coaches signed them and traded them with each other, turning the set into a wall of championship keepsakes.
