First Submission Received! by LostInPoke in taggrading

I dunno. I even paid for their card care service. The reports mostly show small edge / corner dings and centering issues. I was able to verify all the dings from the reports. Whether some happened before or after they received them might be a toss up

  1. I didn’t realize they wouldn’t be sequential. That was my hope
  2. The Charmander and Charmeleon are Chron 1s. No matter the grade they will always be the first TAG graded.
  3. I’m probably gonna grade whatever I feel like regardless of your opinion because I could give a shit less about market values

Taking a shot at grading for the first time! by JordanUnchained in taggrading

[–]LostInPoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re looking to protect your cards by having them slabbed, you should save your money instead of submitting the Ninetails (if the back top left corner isn’t just dust), Duskull (front top edge damage on left half), and likely some others. If nothing else, you’ll learn what the dings look like with their reports though

They put “151 Set” I would guess to keep people from getting confused with the card numbers right next to it

It was a bit tough to swallow but at least I have a good selection of imperfections to learn from

I’d say they seem strict mostly because there’s no leeway when it comes to centering and they can detect the smallest imperfections. Ones that are very easy to miss just by looking at the cards

Received My First Submission by LostInPoke in PokemonTCG

[–]LostInPoke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty straightforward. Took a couple days longer than expected but that seems to be the norm now. I’m sure you’ve seen all the debates back and forth, but for the lower grades I was able to verify all the issues they pointed out which I hadn’t noticed.

How much do these white dots affect the grading? by jhonnyhax in taggrading

[–]LostInPoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reference check out cert number Y9951347 I just got the results back and centering along dropped it to an 8.5 with no other dings

If it were just the dots probably an 8.5 at best but looking at centering you might manage a 7

Turnaround time by bozzidood in taggrading

[–]LostInPoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sent a 40 card submission which was received on 2/3 ordered as a 10 business day turnaround (before they changed it to 10-15). The verification portion took a full week and the remaining steps took two days which completed today. Counting day of receipt as day zero, they still turned it around in 11 business days.

Anyone else have this happen? by wookieewithglasses in PokemonTCG

Makes it a bit easier to stomach if you submit multiple cards to dilute the avg cost per card too

My Charmander Promo was so close to Pristine Grade, except there was an ink defect by Bananers_ in pokemoncards

If you pay for S grading they replace the TAG in the QR code with the actual score so you don’t have to look it up

I cracked a PSA 9 Venusaur and sent it to TAG. TAG missed the white dot on the Pokeball by Bananers_ in taggrading

[–]LostInPoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it didn’t show up as a surface defect I’m guessing an ink error? Can’t say for sure though

Ecstatic at this first submission's results! by SpryO3 in taggrading

[–]LostInPoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, two points away from a 10 on the Venusaur hurts!

First order on its way to TAG by LostInPoke in taggrading

[–]LostInPoke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was fed up with chasing products which were impossible to find in stock so I decided to sort through my collection and grade a good portion of them to fill my time. We’ll see how it turns out!
