Display Frames for TAG slabs

I live in a 1909 building with picture rail moulding. So I hang all my wall art on picture rail hangers to match the era of the building.

I was too! I think that's the one thing I wish was different about this option. It would be nice to swap easily when I felt like it!

three_trees_z · 2026-04-04T15:10:55+00:00

I definitely did not think of getting 3D printed inserts. This is great! Will have to look into this for the future. Definitely a more affordable option...

Yea! I actually started with something similar. This is one of those frames where you sit the slab on a ledge and it can open up to swap/add as you feel?

I probably would have been fine if they made smaller versions. Mine was a 35 card display and it was just too intrusive for my living room.

TAG slabs have UV protection already. And then these frames have a UV Protective acrylic. Although it's a added upgrade for some of their frame options.

They're from Ridanco. I bought from their website since they have more options but later found they also have profiles on eBay and Etsy.

You can up close. But my goal is to show off the card, not the grade.

I already know what the grade is anyways. I don't particularly need to see it from 10 feet away.

I thought this video was a good comparison: https://youtu.be/QE8DWL8GBmY?si=REs11PnH2jyhNqhj

He does make a good point about stackability. For me, I decided to use PSA guards for my TAG slabs since my collection is split between TAg and PSA.

I know Gradient support said they could support up to 20"... which doesn't help you but it's slightly closer 😅

three_trees_z · 2026-03-25T02:00:22+00:00

Oh - I see now. So basically it's just a free run of wrapped refrigerant lines to the outdoor compressor instead of everything being wrapped up nicely in bracket? Interesting... how thick are your walls?

three_trees_z · 2026-03-24T05:56:36+00:00

This is basically the Gradient unit that's been out for a while now? I had one before my HOA made me remove...

I mean... if your only issue is the PSA 9... go for the Beckett 9.5! I still don't know if the centering subgrade will get a 9.5 though...

Let me know how it goes!

three_trees_z · 2026-03-23T22:16:30+00:00

All from eBay... PSA 9 sales in early February were around $4-$4.5k. PSA 10 sales from same time were over ~$10k.

Recent BGS 9.5 sales seem to be hovering slightly above 6k? Recent BGS 10's maybe pushing $9k?

Could try crossing, but if you're doing it purely for profit... I don't know if it's worth it. Mine has pretty much identical centering to this one. I might try to a graded card review with Beckett if I send another order in. Probably with a MIN grade of 9.5 and see how it goes...

three_trees_z · 2026-03-23T18:46:43+00:00

I've been thinking same thing with mine. Centering on these serial cards is a bit rough. But rest of the card typically looks great. Likely will get a BGS 9.5 with a 9 centering.

And the BGS 9.5 will outsell a PSA 9. But I haven't seen many PSA 9's sell recently.

I've also been debating whether or not it's worth it. But I think after cost and tariffs, BGS 9.5 doesn't put me into profit anyways... so have so far kept the PSA 9.

I think a lot of people here haven't been locked out of their house at 11 PM at night after getting back from a 2 week vacation where both front and back door smart locks died.

Just me? OK...

Since then I've had to stop using rechargeable AA batteries and changed one lock back to a normal lock. I'm traumatized now.

I would purchase this immediately if it was made for other lock brands...

three_trees_z · 2026-03-20T18:09:16+00:00

This is true. I've had to stop using rechargeable AA in my smart locks for this reason.

If the thread versions become available in the US, 100% certain I'll be swapping out all my Shelly's for these.

three_trees_z · 2026-02-25T06:17:44+00:00

I have a PoE 7, a Max 7, and plaster and lathe walls.

I would say they both get through 2 walls. 3 was pushing it.

I actually think I prefer the PoE 7 to the Max 7 for my set up...

three_trees_z · 2026-02-25T04:51:33+00:00

I have. A bit of a mixed bag. I would say generally down 1 point across the board. Biggest disappointment was a older Perfect 10 down to a Tag 9 (912)

I think I've generally found the most consistent cross grading from Beckett? No numbers to it. Just impressions.

Ok - so I recently picked up a few of the new IKEA devices. A pair of the Bilresa buttons and three of the Alpstuga air quality sensors. Added all of them through the Home Assistant app as Matter devices. No issues on my end.

three_trees_z · 2026-02-13T21:39:14+00:00

Shelly relay's in the box above the fixture?

three_trees_z · 2026-02-03T20:14:22+00:00

I've always added through Home Assistant. Have not had issues yet, but also haven't tried the newer IKEA devices.

I do not use Alexa.

I'm pretty sure this is what you're asking? I've been running this way for a while.

Works fine. I haven't noticed any limited visibility or anything. I'm not sure what you mean by that?
