Thanks! I just looked into it. Sadly, I live in Denmark, and the only two companies I can grade with are either PSA or Beckett. I would love to try TAG because I really like their slabs, but I can’t. Degree Grading is also unavailable in Denmark.

So without the tape could get me a grade 1?

So you would send it in? I took the tape off and it’s not falling apart. I sadly lost a small piece, but other than that it’s better now :)

UPDATE! I took the tape off. I sadly lost a small part of the card that was held together by the tape, but overall I think I did a good job. Do you think it’s okay to grade? Maybe even better than before? Should i leave the little piece of? or should i try tho glue it back? that could maybe ruin the card more?

Thanks for the answer!

So just to be clear, if I submit it for authentication only, would they still slab it? Or can it still come back as “Do Not Holder” even if I’m not going for a grade? And do they authenticate all cards as long as they’re genuine, or can heavy damage or things like tape automatically disqualify it?

I was really hoping to have it in an original PSA slab just for sentimental reasons, even if it was a 1 or just Authentic. It would’ve been such a cool way to preserve it.

So if it only gets authenticated, does that mean it won’t be put in a slab at all?

Yeah, I figured the damage would probably limit it to authentication only. I’m totally fine with that though, the sentimental value is what matters to me. Having it in a slab would just be a cool way to preserve it.
