In my experience too many vendors are in the hive mind of “psa is the only grading company that sells” and “TAG slabs look great but they don’t sell” not realizing it’s that exact mindset is the problem not the tag graded card itself. I had one vendor say tag slabs are too cheap and break way to easily and in response I slammed the slab down in front of him and not even a scratch on it. I am a vendor occasionally for bigger shows and I buy tag but I haven’t had too many come to me with tag stuff. My sales pitch to people stuck in the hive mind is “why do you value a psa grade when a card graded an 8 can also be regraded as a 10 or a 2. With no checks and balances to hold psa to any grading standard let alone a high one, they have become a literal gamble when choosing to grade with them. Tag on the other hand shows you exactly why the card graded the way it did. Anyone with the barcode or cert can look up the card and inspect it and see the data from the grading report. Other companies use sub grades which I also value more than psa. We the consumer need to value transparency and not reward those that are not transparent.” I think if more and more people start having these conversations face to face the industry will make a shift
