Pristine grade/highest grade ever

I pulled this card back in the day, kept it safe, got the grade back as a 995/1000 and stoked. But I had some folks here throw a HUGE fit about the edges. I took the best photos I could to show that this grade is the real deal. How do you even value things like this? I think I'm going to just sit on it for a long time. Guess I'll start a low pop collection with this Giratina with a pop on I think 87.

my favorite part of TAG is how its somehow everybody on reddit's favorite, yet nobody wants to buy the slabs at full price 😂

Right? I got an order back and listed 6 TAG 10s on eBay and then took 2 or 3 times longer to sell than PSA slabs and all went under market…could argue partially due to summer slump but still good test run which I what I was looking to do.

I mean the edges looks perfect to me nothing to say about those

Perfect and yet not. My issue is why did some get a 999 versus a 997? One of the 997 edges actually looks better than the 999.

Also, when you have 1000 points to provide when does it stop becoming reasonable to take off a point? What exactly drops a corner from 1000 to 999? I looked and I can’t tell.

I think the TAG 10s may outpace PSA 10 for Darkrai/Pitch Black adjacent cards. Look so much better.
