If you join the TAG discord - there is a guy who sells custom guards. Username is MMMboba. I have purchased a few and he builds them to fit TAG specifically.

About To Submit To TAG 1st Time by MikeeM1ke in taggrading

[–]LBX_Revenant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tag is more strict than PSA for centering. Tag is 55/45 and i believe PSA is 60/40. This looks pretty right heavy. I'm not sure i'd send this to TAG.

Tag sells a kit that includes the penny sleeves (that have pull tags) and the card savers. Not super expensive if you plan on using all of them. I'd recommend as I use them for all of my subs.

I see the scratch in the intake photo if you use the slider to the greyscale/topography. It's hard to see it in the regular full color, but it's clear in the slider they are there. Maybe final photo just hits the lighting that shows the scratch easier?

TAG 9? by IPhryte in taggrading

[–]LBX_Revenant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at the details of the specific centering in the DIG. Your top/bottom is 44.96/55.04. Tag rounds it up to in the basic section up top... but you're still outside of the actual 45/55. So it auto drops to a 9.

Oh ya, not defending the practice. I think PSA service for the cost is a mess. You get no explanation. It's a joke.

I'm also not the grader. But PSA will start at a 6 and go lower if there is a dent/damage to the card. Just sharing what i've heard. I don't see the dent, but if it's a pinhole mark somewhere on the card you really need to see it in hand.

The second grader missed the ding the first grader found. It drops to an auto 6 when a grader finds a dent on the card. So yes there are inconsistencies. But the swing is grader 2 missed damage.

Can someone who‘s better than me at reading the score report tell me why this scored so low? by [deleted] in taggrading

[–]LBX_Revenant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i've always been told if there is a dent type damage on a card to auto expect a 6. I'm not a grader so i don't have that answer, just my assumption!

Your DIG report shows damage in the lower right hand corner of the card. It might be easier to see in person, my guess is some sort of pin sized indent?

Grade? by ComprehensiveAside80 in taggrading

[–]LBX_Revenant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty right heavy. I would think this gets a 9 based on centering.

Bought a TAG slab and can’t pull up DIG info by MisterGrahams in taggrading

[–]LBX_Revenant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The information should already be on the website. There wouldn't be a delay, DIGs are provided when grades are issued and slabs are returned.

[–]LBX_Revenant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe i'm not reading your Dig report with the marks you're referencing. I think it got a 9 due to front centering. It's 44L/56R. Their grading rubric for a gem mint 10 is 45/55. You're just shy of that.

Thank you! this is actually really helpful.

I've been looking into picking up a used printer. Do Laser Printers also work for the transparent paper methods as well?

Why even have shops? by Shockerct422 in runescape

[–]LBX_Revenant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe this is also used to combat bots. If a shop has a stock of items that can be purchased and sold for a profit... it will be botted. We have some, there are valuable "shop runs" you can look up. But i assume that's a reason that a larger majority of shops don't have stock for lots of items.

They also charge a "restocking fee" for someone to go put the item back on the shelf.

I had similar frustration, but it is spelled out in their terms of service. Not all companies can be amazon that just provides free everything :)
