Trading Card Game Matching Accuracy
More trading cards matched to the right catalog printing, with fewer false 'No Match' results and no silent picks between look-alike printings such as event stamps, reprints and other languages.

Overview
Trading card games other than Pokémon used to show a match during scanning and then 'No Match' in review. Separately, a naming mismatch meant One Piece cards never reached image matching. Both are fixed, and the printing you choose in Review is now saved. A new local match engine compares each scan with a shortlist of candidates and prefers the standard printing that sellers chose in 613 of 619 cases. It is built and being prepared for rollout, game by game. Batches can declare their language so look-alike printings in other languages stop competing.
