TAG and CGC grader here, I'm been very interested in trying for a black label. No card is exactly 50/50, so what are the margin range for a black label? For example, with CGC if I get with 48.5/51.5, I have a good chance for a CGC Pristine. TAG has a very specific range for a Pristine, within 49/51. I was thinking of sending this Gundam card in. Would love to hear from anyone who got a Black Label what you think the margin range is and any advise on this card would be great. Learn a lot from CGC and TAG, starting to learn about BGS so anything helps.

The card has good centering but has an edge issue on the back bottom right. I know CGC cares about the front more but how much of a ding will this edge issue cost? Are we taking about a possible 8, 9, or 9.5? Any suggestions or advise would be great.

Submission 14 - First Time Using Standard Service - This was my first time using Standard Service which I found to be a bit risky so I don't know if I'll do it again. I have several bulk and economy still waiting to be completed. All 3 cards came out Pristine 10s. I have them posted on my ebay for anyone interested https://www.ebay.com/usr/ferni5 I used the standard service to try to be first, for anyone interested I got my submission done in 13 days, so just slight delay to the advertised 10 day turnaround.

With this happening with TAG and PSA, I had a feeling this would happen so I've been checking daily. At lease they didn't increase the price. I can only hope they are working to expand operations. It would be nice if they send out some sort of communication.

Can I get some help on this card? I don't know why it got an 8.5. Centering is good so it must be a dent or major print line on the back but I can't find anything.

Just checked the website and saw turnaround times have gone up.

I don't know if this is a smart move or not. I do appropriate them doing something about their wait times and making moves to grow. I believe this growth should have come sooner but at least they are doing something about it.

This submission was 35 cards, with a 10 Gem Rate of 80% and a Pristine rate of 45.71%. I got 16 Pristine cards. This submission was a mixture of Pokemon, small amount of GI Joe 1991, small amount of Weiss. I crossovered the Magneton Pokemon Center and Giratina Vstar from PSA 9s, happy with the results. Thank you for answering all my questions here! Most cards are on my ebay at https://www.ebay.com/usr/ferni5. Feel free to reach out if your interested in anything.
