Vintage card & video game collector. Also work full time in Sales & have a beautiful family! I have created this channel to share my successes, failures, and experiences in the collecting and to support others who just want some nostalgia. I am also a huge car fanatic and first RU-vid subscription was TJ Hunt. Highly recommend.
Is it normal for CGC slabs to have one or two half cm smudges on their edges? I just picked up two CGC slabs and I can't tell if someone tried to pry the edges or if they're just regular seal marks.
wrappers on each card i lowkey annoying as f*ck... is that optional? imagine sending in hundred+ card bulk order and having to unwrap every single card
At least they caught the defects. I'm not exactly in agreement with pit damage being a nine. It's my understanding a 9 is supposed to be a representation of "mint" condition, meaning the condition which it was minted in, or close to minted expectations. Also I was previously under the impression that sevens were supposed to be Near Mint which is usually also considered "pack Fresh" at least in terms of selling/ listing on eBay. So it's feasible a pack Fresh card could... Have some surface scratches, print lines, whitening, and silvering. But it's not really fair to say it should have a binder ding or a pit, which aren't pack Fresh. So I do agree with those issues (dings & pits) being an automatic 6 as with some of the other grading companies standards.
Congrats on the 10 Zard! The Zard with a binder dent, even if a slight binder dent, a gouge of a scratch, and another decent scratch I would not call Near-Mint. Very interesting results. Thanks for sharing your test grades with TAG!
lol that 10 zard is pathetic. TAG is trying its best to jump in to the market and get all the press they can by grading BIG cards easier. That top Right back corner is a 10? Cmon man, that wouldn't even dream of a 10 at PSA, even shitty CGC wouldn't make that a 10. Be objective, the bias is unreal. "Better than most PSA 10s ive seen", ridiculous blanket statement. Dent now also means its 8 - NM on that Zapdos as well as a 9 on that other zard. WILD system they have there, we call that damaged where I come from. Thanks for letting me know to never touch a TAG slab. I already have to keep turning down trades at shows for that CGC trash, can't wait until they and TAG are laughed out of the space. The youtubers and people trying to push this terrible system to get eventually get a piece of the company is so obvious lol No one wants this shit lol
Just get the TAG sponsorship bag and call it a day 💪🏽 at this point regardless if you “like” them, you have been giving them some serious attention for something they’d most definitely pay you for. The CEO himself says how grateful he is and they won’t forget it. Can’t imagine dude wouldn’t pay you for a few honest reviews of what they claim to be the future of grading! Super interesting to see TAG Analytics and grats on Zard 10!🤙🏽🥬💩
Great video mate. One criticism of TAG - there's ZERO shot that a pen indent that punches through to the back of the card is a 9 while your Zappy is an 8. The 8 grade feels artificially low in comparison to preserve reputation imo.
lmao still cant find youre vid were you explane the ding on the card and if you have it on hand show the dam ding in the tag case wtf keep it real what are you reading show the letter email click bait is right lmao
I showed the letter. Screenshot it baby if you really care that much lmao my video uploading today at noon shows the latest grade from TAG and another note from their CEO. cheers.
That was my rule, last PSA submission. Nothing with whiting or print lines. a couple were 60/40 on the centering, so i took a chance. But i got 7/7, 10s
that sounds good im bout to grub on some medium grilled and bbq dabbled on after chicken wings with kens buttermilk bleu cheese in the tall togo cups. those togo cups are specislly made and the only ones that taste that good. you can buy the same kind in the bottle and its tastes totally different. so they have to be the togo cups but the tall bois, kens bleu cheese cups tall togo ones......but i digress
True that. Appreciate the nerdy rich people, but if that guy is a billionaire I'm guessing he probably has more traditional investments compared to anything else like collectibles. I never really liked Logan after the entire fake 1st ed base boxes fell through and then he seemed to only be concerned with profiting off Pokemon using this Negative spotlight to his own benefit during the pandemic.
@@hunterhass04ofc he has Ian invested interest in talking about collectible investments, he has a stake in goldin and owns many himself, but the man isn’t stupid he knows stocks are the real safe holders of money
Thanks for the video with paul logan, super interesting...man the guy is so passionate, amazing... he truly believes what he does and put all his energy!
I finally crossed off my holy grail card I ended up winning the crystal lugia cgc 1.5 off of probstein auctions on eBay a few days ago super stoked to finally have a copy in my collection again next is to get a better condition one down the road but just owning one again means so much to me! 💯
I never understand black ops 3 and black ops 4 on ps4 is under 10 bucks. I just don’t think your going to get someone who wants to spend more than 700 dollars when people are used to getting these games cheaply
