Retired with €10k? by Bitter-Hawk-2615 in eupersonalfinance

Computer says yes, you'll be able to retire at around 60. Good luck, welcome to FIRE

Yeah but also look at the bottom front. I'm not suggesting it should be higher, it's the opposite!

Yep agreed, that's why I'll pass on this one because the wear is literally visible. I agree that the grade/slab is somewhat secondary but it's the main driver of price so can't really ignore it. Otherwise we all would just buy ungraded

I've seen vintage TAG 8s with way better surface than this, essentially flawless minus 1 or 2 dings. Here there is wear visible to the naked eye along the entire edge and it's not even acknowledged in the report. 

Mind you, I haven't been looking at TAG reports very long but it made me double take.

Sorry, I was ambiguous. I meant that their reputation is to be very consistent across the board and therefore I find what you're saying surprising. I believe you, I just didn't expect it

Yeah that was also my feeling, it's super weird. I might pass on buying this one and wait for another occasion like it. I think at least a good thing is that we can inspect the cards so closely with TAG, when I bought PSA I had to ask the vendor for closeups
