TAG makes sense to me. It might not seem important now, but some of these cards can be worth a lot of money one day and I rather know exactly what I'm getting and not just someones opinion. If I had to choose between spending 10k on a PSA slab or a TAG slab, I would go with the TAG slab in a heartbeat just because I know exactly what I'm getting. They look nicer as well.

I just bought a Michael Jordan flare sticker rookie today, and I told the guy the same exact thing that I would rather have a card graded correctly, rather than just the number thrown on there, because who knows what will happen with the hobby and PSA in the future

Tag slabs look so good in my display case. Tag and PSA are by far my favorite slabs - both because of look and feel - bug Tag gets the edge over PSA as the tag label doesn't distract from the card. I also feel Tag is much more consistent. I bet you could submit those same cards back to PSA and get different grades.

I appreciate the vid, man! Super interresting stuff. A few observations: why is the Keegan Murray a 5.5? The corners on both sides, the edges on both sides and the centering on both sides and the back surface was all nearly perfect, which makes up 7 of the 8 graded categories. The other grade category, the front surface graded a 529: so why does this one category seemingly trump all the other ones? That single category represents what the grade is. Can u, or anyone else who knows explain this? Secondly, do u know if they grade the fronts more importantly like how PSA does? Overall, it does seem that TAG is onto something big, and that we all should be using them. They do seem more precise which should lead to more accurate and consistent grades. The big concern is if it's "too good" and, thus way more strict and stingy in giving out 10's. The weird, wild, arbitrary world of grading will be fascinating to follow over the upcoming years, indeed...

Thanks! Good question, the Keegan Murray had some gunk on the surface of the card. You really can't see it that well on the video, but It was something like splotches all over it (and it was like that fresh out the pack)! I just sent it in to see how TAG would respond.

Love love love how detailed and advanced TAG's grading equipment and how transparent they are. Would personally love to use them but at times I worry about TAG grading too harshly but I'm willing to accept the card's fate under AI grading... my concern is that yiou did level up on a few cards, but what's the price differences between a PSA8 vs a TAG9? TAG still seems to get no respect and their cards are not as 'valuable' as PSA graded cards. Hopefully one day soon, TAG's cards value will be on par with PSA, BGS or even SGC.
@WalkerTheCollector

That is a good point! The original purpose was to see how AI would grade the card versus the human approach. However when it comes to value, nothing rivals PSA simply due to their longevity in the hobby.

Do u know how the 1000 point scale converts to the 10 point scale? What gets "rounded" to what? A 948 doesn't get rounded to a 9.5? Why? Does TAG also not do 9.5's? Do half point grades have to traverse the '50 mark? Meaning, a 849 gets an 8 but an 850 gets an 8.5? If so, i find that pretty fucking nitpicky; just round an 849 to an 8.5! And, does an 876 get rounded to a 9? I see that a 875 gets rounded to an 8.5.
@WalkerTheCollector
Ай бұрын
Good point on the rounding in relation to the 1000 point scale. I definitely need to look into that to see how it translates. Another thing that caught my attention is the new service that moves away from the 1000 point scale and adheres to the 1-10 grading scale. They still have the 1000 point scale but it is more expensive now. I think the 1000 point scale was an industry identifier that separated them from the competitors.

Great Vid and Crossover Reveal! I also have used TAG for grading and love their transparency in the process. I see you have the 1000 point grade as I did with their S tier; would you consider the X ten point scale? I would definitely use TAG again but only for S not the X even though the slabs are 🔥regardless! Keep up the great work Walker!
@WalkerTheCollector

Agreed. I was able to get in on a drop and it was for the the S tier which was 100% worth it in my opinion. I would only submit using S tier going forward as well. Transparency is the ultimate value here!!!
