If there is a match then it will check the 2 images and if the same the first sale will be highlighted in yellow and tagged.

That is great news Bobby, and good for you and your app, and everyone out there using it. I know that regardless of what you do, you can never be 100% perfect and catch each and every possible occasion where sales are false and/or otherwise being manipulated. But it is great to hear that people like yourself, and the companies you own/operate, are trying to implement new and updated procedures and safeguards to fight those working to inappropriately manipulate the card market/hobby. Kudos to you, and wishing you great success in your efforts. I know just from your reputation that your efforts will prove thorough, and fruitful. Be sure to keep us posted on how things are going, and what you and your crew are finding. It is people like you that help to make this hobby better for so many.

And before I start getting crap from some, I don't personally know Bobby, I don't work for Bobby, he's not and never has been a client of mine, and I honestly as said before, have never used his app myself. His reputation speaks a lot for him and his app though, and I am all for anyone looking to help those in this wonderful hobby, and trying to stamp out manipulation and other somewhat shady or questionable activities that seem to cover and affect a large part of this hobby/industry nowadays.

TLDR, but great idea, BobbyVCP. I appreciate what you guys are doing.
