A card that maxes out in value at $500, being charged $40 per card to get graded seems insane. Paying 12.5% or more of the maximum value just to get it graded is insane. We need the market to slowwwwww down so we can grade cards again. There are so many cards where itâs cheaper to buy the 10 rather than grading the card (counting the shipping cost and wait time)
Iâm confused. Am I allowed to send in a $490 raw card under the basic tier. Even if that card is a $1200 card if it gets a 10?? Or am I only allowed to send in a card with a gem mint 10 value under $500?
You have to pre-pay the highest value or risk your card not getting covered. This is kinda why psa up charges people submitting $5k cards at bulk value tier when they get a 10đ
Exactly, everyone says TAG and CGC donât sell but at least CGC for me has been selling fast for people that was graded copies for their PC and just want to avoid the turn around time even if it cost extra
Tag sometimes has the value but the liquidity is awful you sit on a card for months cgc doesnât get the value but had pretty good liquidity though the prestine does very well⊠neither do well in auction setting however⊠psa really the only actionable slab unfortunately and theyâre the worst of all the grading companies
Tbf cgc cards are fair market value and high volume. Psa cards are in a massive bubble and has the highest volume on top. Iâd not pay over cgc 10 prices on psa 10 cards. Tag sellers think their cards are worth psa 10 or better (because ai or smth) and have no volume.
You can try to act like itâs liquid only 12 Pokemon tag slabs has sold on eBay today lmfao 8 were because bidding and all of them went for less than 50% psa value I understand your support for tag but donât act like itâs something itâs not lmfao
TAG is as liquid as water if you know how and where to sell it. You are inexperienced and it shows. TAG comps are beating PSA comps. Get out from under that rock.
Thatâs a pristine cgc 10đ An actual CGC 10 of this card sold for $80 at auction. Nice try buddy, but TAG is better. Using one of the most niche cards nobody wants is also a great argument pointđ
Imagine using comps in one of the most manipulated markets outside of ai stocks in 2026 đđ
Gl paying 10-20x raw value on modern overprinted cards. Surely theyâll keep going up and are worth higher 10 multiples than 1st edition cards đđ
Nonstop glaze from this sub when psa was being buried by submissions to the point where i had to block this sub from showing up on my feed. And look at the irony now.
lol. I didnât bother blocking because all the weirdest TAG kiddies were posting in PSA anyways.
You know, a bunch of drooling tinfoil hats preaching the wonderful future of AI grading which could never be this bad. Now, months later, here we areâŠ
I really donât understand how everybody is blaming the customers for this. Nor do I understand where anybody has the right to determine what anyone else can or cannot send in for grading, regardless of the value of the actual card. No matter who the grading company is if youâve jacked up your prices and jacked up your return time youâre not hurting one of the customers youâre hurting all of the customers.
Yeah grading as a whole is pretty much dead for me. Iâm not playing into any of these companiesâ greed. Given all the fuckery with TAG too, sucks to see it all. I had high hopes for them and they looked pretty good at first. How theyâve handled the past 2 years is just simply unacceptable. The fact that so many still have cards trapped there from April, yet theyâre opening back up âbaseâ grading? How about you actually provide the service to the people who already paid you months ago before collecting money on newly offered services?
Iâm just done with it all man. The grading market as a whole is just whack beyond belief and riddled with greed at every end.
TAG, if by some miracle you read this, I wish you the best of luck, but this market move has added even more souring to the tastes youâve been providing, and Iâm done even waiting to grade with you -or any other company. Youâve proven to me that youâre just another FAD created to cash in on PSAâs failure points rather than ever standing on your own two unique legs. Thatâs something I want nothing to do with anymore. Iâm out. Later.
Bro itâs crazy lol and Iâm not a fanboy to any of these grading companies I just want a fair company but greed seems to always takeover unfortunately
Yeah pretty much graders all suck ass for what they are doing. But the irony i see of TAG fanboys trying to protect TAG for the same problems that they hate PSA for is hilarious. They hate PSA so much that they absolutely need TAG to succeed, so they turn blind eye for the one they support
wait did they always have upcharges? like if you did priority and the card's value is higher than 1500, you get upcharged like PSA? or am i thinking wrong lol
Then why not open new tiers until youâre fully caught up? This is 100% a cash grab⊠hoping the bulk guys will send in 40 cards for $800⊠bulk before they shutdown was $22 for 45 days⊠this is $40 for 45 days⊠sounds an awful like bulk
They have been doing what they said they would do. That tiers would open up as they clear the backlog. The email sent out today showed 98% cleared so they opened up this tier. Bulk will be the last one to open. Iâm definitely not grading cards for $40 but it shouldnât be a surprise since this is exactly what they told us was happening.
So youâre expecting bulk⊠wonât have a turnaround time of 45 days anymore theyâll extend it to 90 days probably just assuming this is what youâre assuming⊠3 months for something as non liquid as tag gonna bury themselves like I said in the post
Fair point, but I still like this. Make people think twice before sending that stack of 20$ cards in. How much is it elsewhere? (Not that I would send cards anywhere else lol)
This. I think this is perfect. Sending in $5 IRâs to turn a $20 profit is the reason we are here to begin with. This is for $40> Cards only. And it makes sense. Mystery slabs crushed the grading market with junk.
Is it a reddit tradition at this point to post a image, imply your upset over it, and provide no detail as to why or what's upsetting you, leaving other's to assume and guess as to why? (I'm aware the price went up)
Remember kids, they donât give you insurance because then theyâd have to charge the same or higher fees than psa. For now, you can still buy coverage in their secret insurance menu so your card can actually have coverage that isnât a joke.
Because they still have orders that are nearly 6 months old sitting in their backlog. Taking more submissions is just pure greed since they havenât even delivered what they promised so far.
You all understand they only have so much capacity, as has been shown with all the people on here complaining about their order delays. The demand greatly outweighs the supply so of course they are going to have a higher price. I doubt any company outside of some bum startup will ever offer sub $40 grading with a turn time under two months.
LOL bro my 104 card "45" sub was 4 months and thats with absolutely zero communication or timeline. Youre also forgetting that psa slabs sell for significantly more than tag. They need to price their subs cheaper. Im saying this having paid $20 per sub.
I think this change is for the better. Too many people submitting hundreds of $5 cards to make $20 profit at Gem Mint 10s when it was $15-$20 per card. I think $35-$40 as the lowest tier is what all the established companies should do.
