What Are QC Photos?

QC (Quality Control) photos are images taken of a product before it ships. In the context of the usfans spreadsheet, QC photos are provided for every listed product so buyers can verify the quality, stitching, colorways, and overall condition before making a purchase decision.

The usfans spreadsheet is one of the few platforms that provides comprehensive QC photo coverage across all 10 product categories. This transparency is a key reason why users trust it over other sources.

What to Look for in QC Photos

Stitching Quality

Check for even, tight stitching with no loose threads or uneven seams.

Color Accuracy

Compare the color to official product images. Minor variations are normal.

Logo Placement

Verify that logos, text, and graphics are correctly positioned and sized.

Material Texture

Look at the fabric or material texture to assess quality and feel.

Sole & Construction

For shoes, check the sole attachment, midsole color, and overall construction.

Multiple Angles

Good QC photos show front, back, side, and detail shots. Request more if needed.

Pro Tip

Always compare QC photos from the 2026 spreadsheet with the 2025 archive for the same product. If quality has improved or declined, you'll see it in the photos.

QC Photo Standards in the USFans Spreadsheet

The usfans spreadsheet maintains strict QC photo standards. Every product listing must include:

  • Minimum 4 photos per product (front, back, side, detail)
  • High resolution images (minimum 1080p)
  • Natural or studio lighting for accurate color representation
  • Size tag and label photos for verification
  • Comparison shots with official product images where available
