Photo matching service
A photo match ties an item to the games it was used in. Photo matched items have been matched to photographs of them in game use.
- 01
Find the photographs
Photographs of the item in game use are found: the game, the season and the player wearing or holding it.
- 02
Compare the marks
The marks an item picks up in play, such as repairs, stains and stitching, are looked for in those photographs.
- 03
Show the match
Where the marks line up, the item is listed as photo matched, and its page tells the match.
