Tag grading submission kit

Dohboi, missed this earlier, but i appreciate the reply. I suspect it will take a while for TAG to gain traction with collectors, just not enough out there yet. Need them to do well in the comparable marketplace but i do love the tech and the service.


That said i just asked how my order as doing and received this note back about 20 min afterwards

Your order is on deck for slabbing today, after which the slabs will be inspected, imaged and shipped. Your order has an expected shipping date of tomorrow, 11/23.


i will probably not stop pressing the refresh button on my page to see if grades etc are up. Again the point of this from my perspective is to see where they find fault and if that lines up with my expectations, especially since i will be able to see where they have identified the issues.

This is very exciting! I was told mine would be shipped this week as well. I assume they will be closed on Friday so I have two more days to hope.
 
Booo, my cards now are in slab assembly. Shot out another question on timing and got a response (which is fantastic!) that they were pumping out orders as fast as they could but mine wouldn’t be shipped til Monday and grades would be available at that point.

I’ll take a break from refreshing the tag page til Monday.

Happy thanksgiving to my American friends

Mine was to be on track for slab and ship today but didn’t update at all. Will see on Monday.
 
Grades are in, package is on the way back to me, i will post scans when they are in hand. I have a ton to learn as you will see but super happy with the overall grades. I have looked at the information supporting the decisions, but there is a LOT of data. Need to understand more but love that its available.

Overall super happy and cannot wait for auto cards and vintage to be accepted

marc-andre fleury young guns 723, 7
patrick kane young guns 586, 6


Malkin and a Mcdavid both 4 points out of 1000 below a 10 grrr. An ovechkin, the fleury and the P kane laughably poor and ill review my scans, back in my hands and TAGs data on the cards.

Overall awesome experience, remember if you submit (unlike me) that the timelines 30 day 60 day etc are business days, so 60 days will typically be more than 2 months return if that makes sense. Great communication and cant wait to get them in hand and ill post pictures then

any and all comments are appreciated!

Absolutely gorgeous slabs. Wished they had "Series 1" or whatever instead of just Upper Deck.

As for the grades, unfortunately but as long as their tech grades everything the same and aren't faulty then it shouldn't really matter if there are low ones...if they grade tough, all of their stuff will be graded tough, and the 9s and 10s will be valued super well.
 
and package received

each card is in its own thick foil pack and then in a sleeve . cant say enough about the packaging and the overall experience. Just felt more comfortable from beginning to end.

Now to spend some time unwrapping each of these.

If anyone has any questions let me know

I cannot wait for auto and vintage cards to be accepted

Those look really nice. Do the QR codes give the grading breakdown?

Really like the way everything is packaged back. Very professional.

So the cutoff for 10 grade is 925? Anything less drops to 9 with no half grades if I'm understanding this correctly.
 
No there are half grades as well, but no 9.5. I hade a few 8.5s and a 6.5...

If you want some fun, scan the QR code, there is a ridiculous amount of information on the grade, also you can click on the chronology, card rank or population it tells you the overall rank amongst the same card, if it was 1st second 3rd etc graded, you can also see where in the country it resides.

ive reached out to them saying they need an FAQ to understand all the data they are publishing.

Here Ben, as advised, TAG provides high-res dslr images right from the DIG reports
