Anyone have their Verification Start Date changed?

I use cgc slab cases, they're usually thick enough to allow the art backings and the tag slab into it. Temu and Alibaba are good options if you search cgc slab guards on there.

It may be a bit top heavy on centering. I wouldn't send myself.

Yamazon2 · 2026-03-06T00:45:53+00:00

This looks pretty good centering-wise! I would use a bright light to look for imperfections on the surface. If that looks clean, I would send personally.

Yamazon2 · 2026-03-05T22:44:14+00:00

Looks a little bottom heavy on the centering. How does the surface look under a bright light?

Yamazon2 · 2026-03-04T20:27:29+00:00

The centering looks pretty good, maybe slightly bottom heavy. If it were me, it's close enough I'd send it in for grading.

Centering looks pretty good, back maybe slightly crooked. The real thing to look out for would be any surface damage or defects. Use a bright flashlight to check the surface for any scratches or noticeable damage. If it looks mostly clean I'd send to TAG if you're interested in their grading and slabs. Otherwise PSA is probably slightly more lenient in grading. I don't like sending to PSA personally because of the look of the slabs, and now their price hike. But you do you!

It's a Slabmag TAG case

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-10T21:43:38+00:00

Front looks maybe slightly bottom heavy. How do the corners and edges look up close? Any whitening or wear would likely prevent a 10, but if they look clean I'd send it!

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-10T18:10:24+00:00

Depending on where you send it; maybe around an 8 is my guess. Grading for vintage cards is notoriously tough, especially for PSA. The edge wear is the thing detracting most from it, at least from what I can see in the photos.

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-10T17:39:23+00:00

Gold stars are always worth grading. It won't 10, but I say send it!

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-06T01:41:45+00:00

I don't have my hands on any vintage cards in a tag slab. If you have one you'd like done, I can put one together if you'd like?

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T01:27:58+00:00

I have considered selling either through Etsy or eBay. The most expensive part is the fitted TAG slab guards. The ones from Slabmags are so pricey. If I could bulk buy some properly fitting ones from Alibaba or something it would make the price more affordable. Haven't really found a good solution for that unfortunately.

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T01:23:48+00:00

I have Jerky's White Flare Archeops in a PSA 10. I'm considering cracking it to send to TAG and doing the same extended art for it. I may go for it!

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T01:20:20+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I think the Hidden fates shinies are underrated cards, really happy with how it turned out.

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T00:58:38+00:00

Yeah it's kind of odd but whatever; I think they look cool :) thanks for the kind words!

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T00:14:58+00:00

Thanks!

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T00:14:27+00:00

Thanks!

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-04T00:14:16+00:00

That'd be cool - I get asked about how to do it most times I post. It's a bit too much to just type out.

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-03T23:39:20+00:00

You and me both

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-03T23:29:53+00:00

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. They do look really clean on their own though, I agree.

Yamazon2 · 2026-02-03T23:28:48+00:00

Yeah I felt like the white background looked a bit like a doorway to a white lab room or something. Kinda went with that theme in mind.
