About 2 months in image processing.

My stuff shipped quite quick

psyduck has a small wear on the bottom left corner. to compare, my nami somehow got a 9 with noticeable dings on the top back of the card. what are your thoughts??

edit: i did look at the report previously. i’m talking about in comparison with my one piece card. Especially since an 8 would be granted if the card looks clean to the naked eye. I wouldn’t understand how my nami scored higher than my psyduck in terms of the noticeable ding. I definitely feel like a 7.5 is too harsh, but im not sure, even after looking at the report. I just wanted to know your thoughts.

This is the timeline for one of my tag orders (I have 2). I sent them at a convention in Vancouver. I haven't been able to contact anyone from TAG and this is getting very frustrating. The store I sent them with said that this isn't their fault (which makes sense) but that also means there's nothing they can do about it. Any advice?

For context, I submitted the Dragonite SIR from Ascended Heroes, fully expecting a grade 9 or 10 due to the great centering and no dings/scratches. I paid for their Priority Express and submitted the card to them last week, they received the card 6/30/2026.

I just received the grade for the card today, 7/2/2026, and the card was graded a 5. I’m speechless, frustrated, confused, all the above. The “dings” identified look to be incorrect as they capture the border and the Pokemon logo on the back of the card. These dings are not visible in the video and photos they provided.

Would love to hear from others if you believe this card deserved a 5. Would also love to hear from anyone who has regraded their card or inquired with TAG about a regrade. Attached are photos of the card.

Got this back, I've seen other cards with slight dings get 10s and I cant even see this one not mad just curious

I honestly expected it to get a 6 or lower I graded it so it would be protected because I think its super cool, also I cant really find a price on it at all

you guys think these are worth sending in? both are super clean and have good centering

I got this 151 venusaur sir at a card show and after looking at the report and all the sub divisions with scores it seems like it could be a pristine 10, should I send it back to tag? If so how would I do that?

As you can see from the pic, I see I’m not the only one having issues. But aside from this, their customer service and support is about as bad as herding cats in the rain.

I’ve submitted to Beckett and CGC at the same time. I’ve gotten both my orders back from them over a month ago…this is ridiculous

Here are some of my favorites from the sub I had posted in here that has now gotten back to me - I do have one gripe , and it’s pretty major - numerous of my cards that just got back do have small hairs , threads , etc on the SURFACE of them, now encapsulated in a slab. A couple (including my pristine 10 bulbasaur) have literal grey marks on the back , that could be best described as a fine tip grey sharpie - I obviously wouldn’t be complaining about all of this if the image scans from TAG didn’t very clearly show that this wasn’t there , and was absolutely done in their slab assembly process. I’ve already reached out and hope they will do something to make it right - i do not care that much about the other couple cards in all honesty. They’re very small flaws here and there - it’s a shame that it’s there knowing it is TAGs fault though. It does make me very upset that the bulbasaur has such a bad surface though. I counted 7 mistakes from them on the back of the card between different smudges , ink spots(?), small scratches , etc. Well see what happens next !

According to Monica, they hope to have them available for grading by the end of 2025 🤣🤣

I recently got back into collecting Pokemon (after 20+ years lol) so I'm totally new to grading. I picked up this Porygon on Ebay because that's my favorite Pokemon and I liked the clean minimalistic slab. This was graded X so I'm wondering what people think the actual score would be, and how much would be taken off for the centering and ding. With a front 55T/45B centering and a minor ding, I have to think that this card was super close to a 9. I'm curious what others think so I can understand the grading better. Anyway, I'm super happy to have it in my collection now.

Do you think this card could get a Gem Mint 10 from TAG??? Planning to use their priority service and see if it’s truly faster.

They imply my cards are still there but no evidence provided. Maybe 2 more months?
