## What is nightmarket cards?

Buy, sell, and trade TCG cards with collectors in your city.

nightmarket is the local marketplace for collectible cards — find real traders nearby, see what your collection is actually worth, and build the binder you've been hunting for.

Key Features

* Find your chase cards locally
Browse cards for sale from collectors near you, conveniently sorted by distance. Filter by game, language, grading, and condition. No shipping. No waiting.



* Watch What You Want
Add cards to your watchlist and get notified the second one drops nearby. Set your radius, adjust your filters, and let the next deal come to you.

* Shows & Events Near You
Card shows, shop events, and local meetups — surfaced by distance with the dates up front, so you never miss what's happening in your area. Find your next pickup, tournament, or release night and meet collectors in person.

* Build Your Collection
Add cards to your portfolio in seconds and track value over time. Filter by language, condition, and grading service. Sealed booster packs, ETBs, and booster boxes are fully supported!

* Scan Any Card 
Point your camera at a card and we'll identify it instantly. Works on TCG — across languages, raw or graded. Save it to your portfolio or look up its current value with one tap.

* Bundles
Selling a whole lot? Create a bundle listing — multiple cards, one price, one handshake. Great for clearing duplicates or selling a starter collection.

* Message, Offer, Meet
Chat with sellers directly. Make structured offers — cash, card-for-card, or both. Meet up in person and complete the sale or trade safely.

* The Best Part?
No platform fees. No middlemen. Just collectors meeting collectors in their own city to buy, sell, trade and handshake.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-06-19

Instagram verification — now live for everyone 
  - Flipped the global flag on, so any user can verify their Instagram (DM a code to @nightmarketcards → gets a verified IG badge on their profile).

  Collection tab — verify prompt
  - New "Verify Instagram" CTA card for unverified users. If a user also has notifications off, the two prompts show side-by-side in a horizontal carousel.

  Verify sheet — polished UX
  - Numbered steps (1. copy the code, 2. message nightmarketcards)
  - Copy-to-clipboard button next to the code
  - Steps cross off as you complete them (grey/white badges flip to checks)
  - Hint to send only the code, nothing else

### 1.0.5 — 2026-06-15

Instagram identity verification (new)
  - Users prove they own a real IG account by DMing a one-time code to @nightmarketcards; Meta confirms the username, so the handle is verified, not self-claimed.
  - A verified IG badge now appears everywhere a seller shows up — listing & bundle cards, listing/bundle detail, make-offer, seller rows, trader profiles, chat header, the Market feed's per-seller rows, inbox threads, traders carousel, user
  search, "wanted by nearby," and scan review.
  - On a user's profile/Settings the full @handle shows (tappable, opens their Instagram); everywhere else it's the compact IG icon.
  - When verification succeeds, the user gets a push + in-app notification + a DM reply telling them to head back to the app.
  
  Stolen-card protection
  - "Report a stolen card" flow for graded cards; confirmed reports flag the exact slab so anyone scanning it sees a "Marked as stolen" warning with a way to reach the owner.
  - New listings are scanned in the background — a listing whose photo matches a flagged stolen cert is taken down automatically (admins + founder alerted), without slowing down listing creation.
  
  Polish & fixes
  - Centered the "Report a stolen card" screen header to match the rest of the app.
  - Consistent lowercase nightmarket brand casing in user-facing copy.
  - Marketplace feed now correctly surfaces seller trust badges.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-06-13

What's New
• Async upload multiple scan images, scanned images are analyzed concurrently for speed and performance

• New "Founding member" badge for our earliest supporters.
• Polish and bug fixes.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-06-10

- Scan a whole stack at once. Point your camera at a pile of cards and add or list them all in one pass — PSA certs verified and recent eBay sale prices shown as you go.
- Users can report stolen cards. Scanned cards that are stolen will have a warning message on them and a way to contact the original owner.
- New listings near you. Get a daily heads-up when fresh cards hit the marketplace in your area.
- Polish and fixes throughout.
