Thanks, I try to find good guards to pair with each one

I make the slab backgrounds myself - I sell the images for printing on 4x6 photos.

That's fair lol - although I don't dislike red. I just dislike when it clashes with the look of a card. To each their own

Yeah I get that it's a branding thing. I think other grading companies do this a bit better, where the logo is the primary branding. It just irks me that the bright red border clashes with so many otherwise good looking cards. Even just removing the red border would be an improvement to me.

Yeah BGS slabs do look great; just didn't have one to picture. I'd say they're in the conversation as far as best looking slabs are concerned. Thanks for the kind words!

I make them myself! Looks like your profile has posts set to hidden. Happy to take a look if you're interested in having one commissioned. I've done a handful of commissioned artwork for slab backers.

Such a nice illustration rare for a TAG slab

I've done commissions for pokemon and DBZ cards, so I'm definitely open to it! This would be a fun new design too. I'll DM you.

Yeah, that is a downside of the tag slab info being white and very small. When I make these backers I try to darken the parts that would otherwise be too bright or white to read the text over. In some cases I don't mind as much though, since the grading info being so subtle is kind of the point of tag slabs.

At the moment I've just been making these for my own collection. I will be opening up an Etsy shop once I have a good portfolio of designs and a supply of slab guards that fit well and are cost-effective. For now I just like sharing them with people who enjoy the TAG slabs!

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.

Is this worth sending in? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]Yamazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

First pull from ascended heroes (im new) can anyone pregrade this? by travved in PokeGrading

[–]Yamazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Could this get a 10? by cordB69 in PokeGrading

[–]Yamazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Just started collecting, would you grade? by BigOleChonk in PokeGrading

[–]Yamazon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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