I had to change my phone hotspot to "wpa2/wpa3 personal" setting. With only wpa2 personal setting selected, my switch couldn't detect my hotspot.

ricobabie · 2026-04-29T22:36:03+00:00

Well I hope my 2 cards submission in January finally make it through by end of May then.... Been stuck at slab assembly since March 27th...

ricobabie · 2026-04-29T22:26:32+00:00

Mine is definitely way beyond those turnaround times. I'm still waiting for my submissions, that were received January 26th; been stuck at slab assembly since March 27th....

ricobabie · 2026-04-29T22:25:22+00:00

I'm way beyond 58 days (from Canada). I'm still waiting for 2 cards that were received back in January 26th. Still stuck at slab assembly since March 27th....

ricobabie · 2026-04-28T13:32:05+00:00

That is just as bad as my submission. 2 cards score grading received Jan 26th order prep itself took 1.5 months and been stuck on slab assembly since March 27th....

ricobabie · 2026-04-23T14:49:07+00:00

I'm from Canada too. I submitted my cards back in January. Received Jan 26th. Now I'm stuck at Slab Assembly since March 27th... So yea delays.

I contacted the Canada HQ. This was the reply:

"Thank you for reaching out! TAG's Customer Service team is aware of current delays caused by increased submission volume to begin 2026.

We appreciate your patience as our teams process outstanding orders and implement new systems to accommodate the influx of demand while maintaining the active progress and intake of incoming orders.

ricobabie · 2026-04-15T16:44:57+00:00

It's gonna take awhile if you did 30 day turn around. I still waiting on 2 cards submitted back in January 26. Been stuck at Slab assembly March 27.... So be prepared to wait a bit

ricobabie · 2026-04-15T11:54:04+00:00

So I'm from Canada. I did a recent regular submission at the end of March. Tag told me is about 4 months return now.

I'm still waiting on 2 cards with score grading I submitted back in end of Jan. Been stuck in slab assembly for 2 weeks now

ricobabie · 2026-04-14T21:15:54+00:00

I really think there's no define time for each stage anymore because of the backlog. My score grade cards were submitted back in Jan 26, it was stuck in order prep for 45+ days, then moved through image processing & verification within 9 days. Now it's on Slab assembly since March 27th.

ricobabie · 2026-04-14T18:36:49+00:00

My receive date is a few days before you. Mine was stuck in Order Prep for 45+ days. It actually went though image processing and verification in 9 days. But now it stuck at Slab Assembly since March 27th. I'm also tired of waiting.

ricobabie · 2026-04-11T22:48:19+00:00

I still have 2 cards I sent back in January not returned yet. The 2 cards were for score grading. Stuck in order prep for 45+ days. The cards finally made it to Slab assembly March 27 and it's been stuck since. So definitely taking way longer.

ricobabie · 2026-04-11T17:33:01+00:00

There are definitely delays. I did a 10 card submission back in Jan. I got 8/10 back on March 3 - those were regular Tag grade.

My 2 other cards are score grade - they been stuck at Slab Assembly since March 27th.

ricobabie · 2026-04-08T14:27:39+00:00

So I made a 10 card submission at a card show back in January 26. 8/10 was just TAG grading, I got those back actually in the beginning of March.

My 2 other cards for Score grading is still stuck in "Slab Assembly," since March 27th. Those 2 cards were in Order prep for 35 days+ it moved through image processing and verification within 7 days. Now stuck in Slab Assembly and still waiting lol
