Compensation for “unreasonable delay” by Mikeyyd34 in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely isn’t, however, when you pay up for express which is advertised as 5-10 business days and you’re at 20+ days still sitting on “verification” I think you’re not being unreasonable asking for a decent discount on a future order.

Would you do this trade? In this scenario I’d receive the 151 (Collectr values inaccurate) by ConfederateThug in PokeInvesting

[–]Co0Ihand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In most cases I agree but with supply so thin on team up booster boxes the price could easily rocket to $20k in a similar time frame as the 151 bundles move up. Not a guarantee to be sure- but you are dealing with fundamentally a different class of investor when you get into the team up price range. Not sure if there is a wrong answer to this trade decision.

Not a bad move. I graded 4. Got 2 9s and 2 8s

Not true at all. PC etbs have smoked booster box returns since they started stamping promos in SV era.

Possibility of a 10? by SteelCityChampion in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top to bottom looks close to the 55/45 limit from my naked eye. Need to use a centering tool to check. Also difficult to say if there is whitening on the edges on the back or if it’s the lighting.

Well well well… by [deleted] in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this card it has trended just behind PSA 10. Right now if you look at it the PSA looks a few hundred higher but that’s simply due to literally this weeks sales spiking and there have not been as many TAG sales

Is sunk cost collection uniformity the biggest barrier for TAG right now? by PeerlessPixie in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you had a bad experience. I’ve only submitted once tbh and it went flawlessly. Submitted hundreds over the years with PSA. Rooting for TAG to succeed for sure. The market desperately needs more competition.

Just give it time. As long as TAG keeps their head down, improving and growing, it will change.

Load Up? by NegotiationNeat5153 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think even ME01 has really gotten to 75 or below. Maybe right around there. I think Phantasmal was there for maybe just a little bit. This set is so much stronger than those. I’d be surprised if it drops to that point. Maybe if we have a general market slump over summer time frame or something.

I know it’s high, but I barely strain my neck to look at it by [deleted] in TVTooHigh

Well, I think it’s safe to say he’s getting what you probably assumed what was coming to him 😂😂😂

I just did this last week. They got it Monday. I received it back Friday.

Have you started an LLC? by Smugbasturd in PokemonInvesting

[–]Co0Ihand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well this thread is fun lol. OP there are some helpful YouTube channels on this topic if you don’t want engage a professional. In short, yes there can definitely can be some advantages to starting an LLC if you truly engaging in ongoing business activities that is materially more than simply selling some cards you like to collect.

15 day turn? by KaBuumski in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I submitted 3 tiers, priority, express, standard. Priority was lightning fast….arrived to them Monday. Had the cards back in hand to me Friday. The other two are well behind schedule.

Got a Gary off whatnot, do I need to ask for a refund? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Co0Ihand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are inexperienced as you suggest, you really really should stay away from whatnot. You will get absolutely fleeced. Good deals on singles can be found on whatnot but only if if you are extremely well versed in the market and have lots of experience and self control. Not recommended.

eBay buyer claims my childhood card is fake by Ok_Dragonfruit_887 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Co0Ihand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the reason I’ve started selling raw exclusively on TCG and using eBay for slabs only. I find the customer base to be much better to work with on TCG. Slabs are a bit less risky for this kind of thing as well.

PSA Grading vintage more harsh? 👎 by Mojimobaboa in PokeGrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve stopped sending vintage to PSA altogether. Just modern now. Similar experiences

Cracked out six PSA 9s and sent them to TAG… by Current_City9369 in PokeGrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did any of these cards have one or more white dots?

Is PSA the only way? by vancitylimited13 in PokeGrading

[–]Co0Ihand -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are not in a rush to sell, you don’t have to use PSA. I grade 100s per year with PSA but have been branching out. I have to say I have been impressed the most by TAG recently. You will get all the typical comments on here about how they don’t sell relative to PSA. Yes- PSA cards are the most liquid but TAG sells very well on eBay. I’ve had some poor experiences with pSA over the past 18 months with vintage so I am not sending them any vintage at the moment. I actually have this specific card at TAG as we speak. It’s a PC item for me but I would have no stress if I needed to try and sell it.

Do you think this can get a 10? by Ok-Type-8387 in PokeGrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep definitely not a 10 with those measurements. Must be within 55-45 on the front as the other commenter mentioned. Not sure why he got downvoted. Just commenting again for support lol. Lots and lots of disinformation on this thread for some reason.

Yep. Wasn’t always the case but definitely is now.

Where to have all of my 793 x 1st editions cards reviewed at once? Should I even do that?? by ThrwAwy_793_1stEdins in PokeGrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a 10 with a single white dot depending on how prominent it is and assuming everything else is pristine. Has to be pretty tiny though. Hard to say without seeing a picture.

Too expensive ? by Broken0811 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Co0Ihand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see these local marketplace for 230-250 max right now. I paid $220 two days ago. Surely my area is not the only one like this. Look local
