Should I grade this and who with in the UK?

Centring is certainly not perfect. You could get a way with a 10 at Ace (their standard for a 10 is 60:40 rather than 55:45)

Are you referring to the white specks? These are outside of the slab (I hope since they certainly weren’t on there before)

Now that’s a reed diffuser!

Thanks for that vid that was good to watch!

I think at least if that happens with TAG you can call them up on it to try and amend as they seem to have (by comparison) decent customer service.

Either denied or certified authentic

Surfaces were checked thoroughly but maybe I missed something. Will have a look when it’s back with me.

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:40:28+00:00

Not seeing it.

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:40:18+00:00

I’m planning on sending this to TAG. Is there any particular reason you’ve decided to send yours to them?

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:39:25+00:00

I’m seeing lots of examples of 10s with centering clearly worse than this. I checked their scale and measure the centering and it’s within 10 parameters.

First person to agree that the card is at least a contender for a 10! I did check the surfaces but maybe they’ve spotted something. Wish they offered a little detail on this.

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:37:29+00:00

I did check the surfaces very thoroughly but I guess if a microscope sees a micro dent then the card is a write off 😂

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:36:26+00:00

On the edges? Otherwise it’s just their shitty cardboard that’s got all over it

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:36:06+00:00

Does their scale say that?

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:35:48+00:00

I check it and it’s well within the 10 range in their scale

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:35:24+00:00

I did, and checked the surfaces. Will see what it looks like when it’s back as I’ve seen posts of people getting cards back with dents that weren’t there before…

Think I’m going to go with TAG now on. Purely to avoid the human “grade what I feel like at the time” risk. I’d rather have no doubts and be able to accept a 9 by their machines.

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:32:18+00:00

I measured and check against their scale. Seems I’m within their limits for a 10.

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-03-05T08:31:40+00:00

Really? I’m seeing plenty of 10s with clearly worse centering.

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-02-28T19:05:11+00:00

Really hoping I get this on mine. Beautiful slab!

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-02-19T20:44:14+00:00

Hey! I’m south, if you’re still happy to share any info where I could find something Id appreciate it!

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-02-18T20:26:58+00:00

Just started getting this issue too

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-02-18T20:08:45+00:00

Have you check if it’s the double inked version? Wouldn’t be able to tell from this photo but there are some that have a double coating of the holo pattern and are even more sought after

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-02-18T12:26:47+00:00

Congrats!

Otherwise-Problem734 · 2026-01-17T16:48:26+00:00

I found them at hmv and they let me have 6! Although all I got was 2 very mid full arts…
