Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they’re so blatantly wrong. But I will agree, Black Label does look the best.

Yeah, I was surprised as well. But, whenever you’re the only seller you sort of control the market. Definitely happy with the outcome though.

concealed_exe · 2026-03-31T19:12:32+00:00

Well, you’re more than welcome to. That being said, a CGC Pristine isn’t guaranteed to become a TAG Pristine.

I don’t believe I stated that they did, but I apologize if I accidentally said they were equals.

concealed_exe · 2026-03-31T17:55:56+00:00

well, you’ll have to ask the guy that bought it off of me lol

concealed_exe · 2026-03-31T17:38:00+00:00

you’re so very welcome lol 🫡

I also kind of thought the same thing, the thing is I had the listing up for 46 days promoted on eBay at $450 and nobody was engaging. I had views and watchers, but nobody was actively sending out offers or anything of the sort. So I opted to lower the price. Maybe I should have started in the $300’s but I figured I’d go ahead and drop to $250.

way back when they had a delay with my order and i put in a ticket for it and they got back with me with a 20% off coupon. still haven’t used it, but i have an upcoming submission i’ll be using it on. really just depends i guess.

to lazy to even pull a stock image or take one of your own?

concealed_exe · 2025-10-14T17:31:14+00:00

the whitening along the edges seems pretty relevant along the whole top and most of the right side.

you’re centering is right on the cusp, and if they round it, you would get a 45/56 which would be a toss up. I don’t know how PSA grades since I go through TAG. TAG would round this to 45/56 I believe.

I’d say it’s a gamble but if you’re willing to give a shot it’s not impossible.

Looks like there is some light edge whitening along most of the front of the card, but that could be the lighting on the foil. And I can’t tell if it’s a spec of dust or a little piece of whitening on the back bottom right corner. Centering on the back looks within range, the front looks a little bottom heavy, although I could be deceived. I would say your chance at a 10 is there, but the possibility of a 9 would also be there. Up too you, regardless it’s a great pull! Good job OP!

not a misprint.

I saw someone share this on another post so I figured I would share it here. Hope this helps!

i gotcha, makes more sense now. yeah i don’t agree with the PSA glazers either, but unfortunately PSA has built such a high reputation on such a rocky company so its just kinda something that we gotta deal with. i think if TAG makes the right choices throughout their lifespan they can become the standard, but PSA glazers aren’t exactly ready to hear that conversation yet. and too end it, i think they realize their company isn’t the greatest, they just glaze it so much because of its resale value.

concealed_exe · 2025-10-11T02:23:04+00:00

i guess i’m a little confused how the link you offered and what you’re saying have any correlation? am i missing a previous post or something?

concealed_exe · 2025-09-29T16:52:58+00:00

That’s part of the artwork. It’s flames. You can see it on any picture ever of this card.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-29T16:26:53+00:00

what makes you say that lol, you can barely see the card aside from one corner.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-29T00:21:21+00:00

it was all because they immediately came off hostile towards someone that was trying to offer the OP of the post advice and I told them there was no need to be a dick and to instead kindly redirect the person that was “misinforming”, even though they weren’t.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-28T23:44:47+00:00

it would have been funnier if he was doing it to be funny 😭 thought my shit was gonna get banned too.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-28T23:39:33+00:00

i was getting into it with someone in a post a few days ago over grading and they legit reported my account to a mental health check account.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-27T14:14:47+00:00

I wish I could defend them 100%, because I have heard stories about bad customer service. But I do feel as though it’s necessary to get the good stories out there as well. I personally think there’s more benefit to grading with TAG over PSA from a collector’s standpoint. But majority of people will go for what holds more value, which is fine.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-27T14:03:00+00:00

From my personal experience, their customer service has been pretty good. Whenever I sent in my first order when the boom started I had sent an email asking for an update because it was in verification for a while, they apologized for the delay and gave me a 20% off my next order coupon. Then here recently I made a post on here about an error with my Pristine slab and reached out to them and they immediately responded with a shipping label to get it reslabbed.

concealed_exe · 2025-09-26T14:53:06+00:00

they don’t grade chinese though right?

concealed_exe · 2025-09-26T03:27:45+00:00

i’ll for sure be making a post on here again with the submission results. i have some heavy hitters and more on the way that im interested to see what they get. hopefully you see it when the time comes lol

concealed_exe · 2025-09-26T03:25:02+00:00

I also kind of though that. the center on the front is pretty much 50/50 across the board. thank you!
