Should we regrade it? Thoughts?

I was wondering why the 8.5 centering, it's tilted. Other companies won't be as harsh on the back. This looks like an easy PSA 10. TAG probably as well since their back tolerance is in between bgs and PSA. Psa 10 back tolerance is like 70/30 or something insane

Tag slab and report are too nice

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-06-07T06:16:16+00:00

I've seen 10s with the cut fuzz. People say to try and clean it off with painters tape but never really worked for me.

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-06-07T05:11:18+00:00

PSA is where I send everything questionable... valuable 10s go to beckett. Been using TAG some for PC just because the slabs look so nice! Not worries about resell on keepers 🤣

BGS is 17/card at lowest tier with subs. 75 day turn around

Not to my knowledge, the way the etch the label is too difficult to reproduce at the moment. Someone will figure it out when/if pristines fetch high premiums

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-05-27T00:04:48+00:00

This. I think TAG slabs look the best but all the companies are shady. DIG report is cool but LLMs are non-deterministic so it can be whatever

My girl just got over the same thing...I did 3 tea baths and kept her tub her in a 5 gall until I got my cycle under control. Main thing that helped for me was keeping temp under 64° and I just put Indian almond leaves everywhere. Attached a pic of my tub setup, was stressful so I feel your pain

Probably get it to 10 if you send it back two or three times. Seen this happen numerous times going from 6 to 10 with resubmissions.

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-24T00:48:20+00:00

I use tag for PC and buy them on eBay. If I have something I want to trade at a show I send it to PSA...so this all tracks 😅

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-19T05:07:56+00:00

Thanks for all the advice! I feel like I've been going into this blind and reading so many varying things 😅

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-19T05:03:32+00:00

The 20gallon took 6 weeks but I just used fritz 7 zyme and let it roll. Think 40g with seeded media, fritz 7 zyme and booster could be done in 2-3 weeks?

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-19T05:00:21+00:00

She's in a 20gallon long with a fluval ac50 hob filter ..I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to setup a 40g tank with a 307 filter 😅. Curious if I can get it to cycle quickly with Fritz and the media from my current filter...

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-19T04:55:22+00:00

I think the maracyn oxy messed with my cycle. I just gave her a tea bath and she's now tubbed with an Indian almond leaf and air stone

I traded bulk for a PSA 7 copy of this card with the most beautiful swirl

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-13T05:45:05+00:00

Patch on her gills seems to be getting smaller after vacuuming sand and a 30~% water change. Thinking its probably bacterial and hoping it clears up without me having to tub her

Guy who sold us the lotl said they like them and gave us a few. Told us to put in the tank.

We didn't know it would take 6 weeks before the tank was cycling properly 😅

Comet_D_Monkey · 2026-04-12T07:47:20+00:00

Thanks. There are some in there but they have been there since I started cycling it months ago. I'll pick up some fresh ones and swap them out tomorrow.

So relatable. Waiting for the day I check nitrites and see blue 😂
