I chose to be an early adopter of this program. If they truly have reproducible grading, clarity on damage areas I think this will be the grading company of the future. Especially once they figure out autos and vintage.

Regardless of your feelings about the possibilities, here is what I have received.

FedEx box

Nylon protective outer shell/bag velcroed, zippered and security sealed. My shipping information is blurred out

Sleeves, shields, plastic case and new seal to send back (reversed so number is obscured)

Anyways that’s what showed up, surprisingly it was a little more work to choose what I would ship back. I have more vintage and a ton of future watch autos to send when that becomes an option.
 
Thanks for sharing. So how does it work with cross border shipping? I didn’t realize I could do it yet. I’ve been waiting to hear when they would be taking Canadian submissions. Guess I wasn’t paying enough attention.
 
It was an extra $50 usd for shipping to Canada which seems reasonableAll in I am 450 usd for 20 cards. Including shipping the kit to me, cards shipped to them and then graded and shipped back to me. Included in the kit are sleeves and holders for each card

I am very excited.

I am very excited about this, I don't think I have 40 cards currently I would like graded that fit the criteria so I am stuck watching from the sidelines for now. I can't wait to give it a go though.
 
SNobles, you can place an order for 20 cards as I did, 40 is not required. Sorry if I’m sounding like a shill for the company. 0 ties in any way shape or from aside from the fact that I truly believe this tech will take over the grading industry as long as they can stick to their grading timelines, keep pricing reasonable and the scanning tech used for grading consistently works like they say it does (I’m convinced).

The 10 and 20 packages are sold out, only 40 left, unless there is a different way but I didn't see it on the site.
 
The 10, 20 and 40 card packages are only in effect until the early bird program is over. Not sure when that will be. However, after that you’ll be able to submit in whatever quantity you want.

By the way, I am a “shill” for TAG as I have thrown in the towel on my 25 year career in finance and accounting to join them full time. I’m also an equity investor. So yeah, I’m all in on TAG because I believe in the tech, the team, the processee, the product and the TRANSPARENCY so much.

I did 5 episodes a few months ago highlighting various aspects of TAG and last Saturday did an episode on why I chose to join them full time, if anyone wants to learn more.

And finally, if any HI member is in LA when I’m there (planning to spend 1/3 of my time there now) I’d be happy to give you a tour of the facility and show you the grading tech first hand).

TAG’s AI tech is 10 years in the making and takes human subjectivity and bias completely out of the grading process so you get consistent, reproducible and accurate grading with each card as well as a detailed image and grading report (DIG).

Jeremy,
Glad to see technology is finally being used. Will you be brining samples to the Expo? Wish you the best with your new endeavor!

I am willing to try this out. I am willing to combine shipping without anyone.

Yes I will 100% have TAG slabs at Expo. We are hoping to be set up with a full exhibit of our slabs and technology. If we can pull it all together in time we may even be able to do on-site grading.

Thank you Peter for posting about TAG, trying our service and giving us a chance to win your trust.
 
Just ordered the 40 package, going to be submitting mostly my cards but a couple of friends want to get in on the action so it will help with the costs for me.

Excited about the process in general but very excited to get the cards back in hand in a couple of months or less.
 
Minor road block, I asked about insurance as my bundle of 20 cards is around 6-7k usd raw. I have recieved some communication back. There kits come with 1k insurance automatically. at 20 cards, that probably isnt going to cut it for the majority of submitters. So they are looking into insurance costs with their carrier. Not sure who’s responsibility that is but I will share when I hear more.

Please keep me posted. My package is on the way and my 40 card lot will have significant value as well in excess of 1k.
 
Yup no problem at all, honestly, it’s understanding if they are taking on risk or if I am and what are my options and this would include delivery back obviously

Super slick presentation I must say!
The fact that my friend, and our Grande Master of H.I. is a VP in this company, is enough for me to fully put my endorsement in behind this new brand.

I will reserve any actual reviews of my own experience, until I decide on what card to submit for my trial. I have a few rare cards in mind.

That sounds amazing, Jeremy...best of luck to you all!
 
I believe for the early bird launch they want all cards at once. Regular business later
On will be whatever size shipments you want
