You have to remember as a new smaller company you will do a lot of trial and error to find out what works best for your company and your customers so I would say just be patient and let them work everything out because that’s exactly how I started with my Perfume business, it was trial and error and I changed my labels and Bottles style so many times until I finally found what was perfect
I understand, it’s all business. I will probably be back once TAG stabilizes and become more mainstream. I think I might send to the. For PC though… then or SGC.
@@FastYouth1313-Kardz another thing I heard is they sold out of the S so they can get caught up so it sounds like they are a small company with not very many employees trying to get their feet up off the ground and get a name known for their self, and it looks like they are getting overwhelmed faster than they expected. This is exactly what happened to me.
Brother, you are missed. Im glad you still have the Griffey. Thanks for the shout out. You know how I felt about X. I came around 180 on X because they’re rolling out “click to upgrade” options for X to S. They eventually want to do away with printing the 3 digit score on the slab. X and S will simply live via the website. The downside: all slabs look the same. The upside: being able to upgrade a X with a flawless DINGS to S with the click of a button and a small fee. The slab won’t need to be resubmitted. This means you’ll be able to grade all of your cards for $12, then cherry pick which to upgrade to S.
Also, this adds a marketing aspect to serve the gamblers in the hobby. You’ll be able to sell them X slabs just so they can gamble on ruling the leaderboards.
Anywhoo brother, Im being sincere when I say you’re missed. Your video of resubmitting those cards comes up from time to time. We all hope to see you again. Cheers mate!
Hey Sean! Honestly I miss that Discord group! There were a few bad actors in there who wouldn’t hold a debate/conversation and that irritated me a little… don’t get me wrong, I was no saint… I lost my cool in the Town Hall meeting (sorry about that)
“Click to upgrade” sounds really interesting and intriguing! There is a very good chance I would start submitting to TAG again if they only had the one option, and part of that option was to pick what “10s” I wanted to see the score on. I wouldn’t unlock a score on a 9.
Dude, that Griffey won’t ever leave my collection or possession! I was gifted to me, and I would never sell a gift! That has to be bad luck or bad karma to sell a gift. Every collection should have the UD Griffey Rookie in it… mine has a small story that accompanies it that I can share about how there a great people in card collecting communities!
I still watch all of your videos! Please stay in touch and thank you for watching and commenting!
I do agree with some of your points about change but I will always fall back to what are the current grading options.
At this point you send to PSA who is more interested in growing to go public on the backs of all collectors and very little about moving the hobby forward with tech improvements. TAG on the other hand is making strides to innovate so I will take my chances (and hard earned money) and spend it with a smaller company trying to innovate over a lazy one that you can keep on resubmitting until you get what everyone is yearning/crying for - a gem mint 10. 🎉🎉
Don’t get me wrong… I love that the human element/graders opinion is removed when using TAG. That fast changes is what turned me off from them. Agreed, they are a small company and they are growing. I fear that once they show they are relevant in the hobby, someone will buy them out. All the investors get a good return from the buy and then there is no more TAG. Just my opinion though.
Totally agree with everything you said. I did two Tag orders before they came out with Tag x and haven’t sent any since. I love the Tag slabs but I had a tag 10 Aaron judge I can’t give away no one wants to pay even PSA 9 price and with Tag prices going up it makes no sense to use tag grading adds 0 value to your sports cards
I have cracked a lot of my TAG slabs to resubmit to PSA/SGC or sell raw. Agreed TAG has the best looking slabs though.
that is why I said everywhere to grab attention from TAG. Tag should lower their S service instead of X. Tag X has no advantage to compete others.
they charge too much for S service now
You can resubmit your Tag X 10s to Tag S for $25 and you'll get your 3 digit score. So basically, use Tag X to pre-screen your cards. If you get 10s...you can resubmit the X to S. So only pay the Tag S regrade for the Tag X 10s.
Thanks for sharing! The one thing that keeps me going back to TAG is exactly what you did several times throughout the video, check the DIG report! I submit a lot of cards under $100 raw and X is the perfect window for the way I collect. The last thing I want on a slab is some random 943 number, but that's just my opinion! I also have no problem with using multiple grading companies. Consumers have tabbed PSA as the be all end all so if you're looking for the best return, why wouldn't a person consider them? TAG gives me the most detailed information of my grade, is the right price and turnaround and is the best looking on my shelf...again my opinion. That being said, I'll definitely continue submitting to PSA and SGC as well.
One quick example. There's currently a card listed for sale that I really want to add to my collection, which used the TAG S service, but I won't buy it because it says 907. I'd much prefer the cleaner look of a 9 that used the X service. I can look on the DIG report if I want to see where any notable blemishes were.
Great video and it all makes for some very key talking points in the hobby! I suppose this puts me in the TAG Bot category now!
I do love DIG/DINGS reports! Knowing exactly why my card earned the grade it deserved is nearly priceless! That rapid change, and no more free SUB kits it was turned me off the most. I do value the 3 digit score though, it lets me know where I stand with other cards that are same print.
There is no doubt about it… TAG does have best looking Slabs in the market. I agree, people should send there cards to whoever they want! I have stuff sitting at PSA, SGC, and CGC (doing a graded card/comic book thing). Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
So if you get the X level, does it at least have the 3 digit number on the dig report? I get both sides now. At first I wasn't crazy about the 3 digit number on the case. It reminds of the old sgc grading. Well, is it in an 8 or 9, no it is a 88. Keep it simple and clean. But I do like knowing that number. So I get that to. I like the accountability of knowing why a card got the grade it did.
I stopped using them once they went tag X with no sub kits anymore. It's just not that white glove service anymore.
Exactly! Once that concierge
Service left so did many of the early adopters.
Tags top to bottom centering is harder then any other company
I agree.. Tag X is a mess and completely ruined their biggest advantage in grading. I am still slabbing my PC cards in TAG S though - but not doing anything I'm going to sell in TAG anymore.
I have the exact same feeling. I’m slabbing and selling PSA/SGC stuff now
Great video! It's exactly how I feel about TAG now. Was a huge buyer of them but have gone away since the shift to X vs S.
I feel they went to TAG X to get more cards in and out of the door for more money, I get it it’s a business, but to much change to fast pushed a lot of people away.
wow what a wholesome intro, great review!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Tag is for me . always .
I might have a change of heart…. I heard they are going to allow people who submit for TAG_X to be able to view the 3 digit score
I agree with your assessment. I haven’t used TAG, but am ready to make the leap. However, once TAG charged their TAG to TAG S, it ruled out using TAG for lower priced cards. I have a few cards that I want to grade using TAG S, but every time I check the website, the S service is “sold out”. Now, I’m seriously thinking about not using TAG because I don’t know if their business model can be sustainable with these changes. Almost everything that TAG advertised and set them apart from other grading companies is dissipating.
People that didn’t like the 1000 point grading system probably won’t be using TAG X either. I haven’t heard anyone saying now that TAG has changed, let’s use their TAG X service.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Dude… I was big on TAG but to many changes so fast ruined it for me.
Also, even though if you cannot get the tag S when you get the tag X, it gives you the ding reports so you can compare each cards. Ding reports to each other to see which one is actually the better grade card without having those three digit numbers from tag S. At least they give you the option to see exactly what is wrong with each card.
The ding reports or “graders notes” are something I love about TAG. Makes it easy to see what I missed. I just don’t like the rapid changes and price fluctuations is all. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I recommended they just do an S type service except if you have a 9 or 10, then bump to an X type service and upcharge. Who really cares how good your 8 is? There's a competitor to Tag now called Arena Club. Very similar service and style.
S is what attracted me to TAG. Now that seems like it is dying
My biggest issue with TAG is that they are creating a new grading standard. Example a PSA10 is a TAG8/9. With the price hikes and all their new additional fees they are close in cost to a subscription based PSA. What is the motivation for me to stay? Ive had 4 submissions with TAG and only sold 2 of those cards. The price of grading with them isn't worth the return on investment
I agree with everything you said in this video. I was thinking the same things. TAG caught my attention with their original way of grading and now I will not use them at all unless they bring the TAG-S pricing back to where it used to be. I can understand removing the free shipping kit, that had to have cost them a ton of money to do it that way, but TAG-X and the price increases killed it for me. So, as of now, I am using CGC exclusively until TAG makes some good changes, but it doesn't look promising.
I have a few cards at CGC now (I’m doing a graded comic/card that go together). Interested to see how CGC does for me. Honestly before TAG, I liked the CGC slabs the most, but the way TAG has there Slabs is top notch. I think TAG_S is going to go away all together unfortunately 😢. It will only be TAG X in the future… just my opinion thought! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
The TAG X was needed for the market. While some collectors like the detail, the market has shown the overwhelming majority want a simple one number score. For TAG to survive and be relevant this was the right move. CSG does the same thing but their cases aren’t as nice and their grading faces the same inconsistency problems as other companies who don’t use automated machine grading.
@@paper_and_chrome there is still a large following who only want TAG_S. On the TAGs page then TAG_S option sells out instantly anytime they open it up. TAGs use of penetration pricing worked very well to break into the niche hobby… but they were quick to change it seems. I gather that TAG_X has most likely garnered the TAG brand much more money which in turn makes the investors happy. It’s business, and I understand that… the changes were to fast and to dramatic for me is all. Thank you for commenting and engaging in the comments!
If I’m going to sell cards I’ll send my cards into PSA.
I’ve never been a fan of grading PC Cards but TAG slab’s definitely have me interested.
TAG has the best looking Slabs hands down!
very good point. i am also a fan of TAG concept.
But the change isn't good. S level should be cheaper to gain market %.
Especially not a lot people trust in TAG slab now.
TAG X should not exist if you eant to do something different than others.
And TAG is trying so hard to promote their custom photo slab, it is off the point...... eventhough i like the idea.
they should concentrate on the TAG S, and tell people why choose TAG.
they have good designer but not a good story teller.
TAG -S I think is going away, they are pumping TAG X really hard right now!
@@FastYouth1313-Kardz i am with TAG because of TAG-S and that is the selling point. TAG X has no advantage than others.
TAG-S is too expensive and it wont help TAG gain market %. growing TAG-X is making TAG off their concept
@@FastYouth1313-Kardz growing X will make TAG far off from their 999 score of card and make that score leaer board a joke. It makes TAG no more special compare to others.
the leader board only interest ppl when there are enough pops.
There's a pricing option for the three points grade. TAG will be the best. PSA OFFERS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY A CARD GOT A GRADE.
also in their fine print, they take no responsibility for their graders or their graders actions.
It's a card mill. Graders at PSA are treated like Amazon employees. Unless you send in something super special, their job is to get through as many cards a day as as they can.
PSA... Ok for authentication services. Stop sending your cards there.
So do they grade any cards? I couldn't find anywhere on the types of cards they grade.
They do standard thickness cards 35pt and some TCG cards with rounded cards. They don’t do any patch cards or “thick” cards
Nice slabs. Thumbs up and bell hit.
Thank you! I I am loving my super rare topps holiday 10s bummed about my Trevor Bauer Auto though. Thought for sure that would be a 10!
Who made your mat?
Hey man! Thanks for watching! I also paid for the digital enhancement.

Thank you for watching!
it takes time. try your PC to TAG. don submit cards to sell

Dude… it has to be coming right? He has offered to play for free now, donating his league minimum check back the club or any foundation the club chooses. He will only keep his incentive money earned.
Trevor Bauer left to right centering. Just like SGC you have to have near dead nuts centering on the front.
I’m finding that out, I used the website that checks for centering now and it’s been a life saver
@FastYouth1313-Kardz what website are you using?
You lost me on the Trevor Bauer comment.
What do you mean? Hoping that he comes back?
@@FastYouth1313-Kardz yep. He’s a horrible human being. Baseball (and the whole world, in fact) is better off without him.
The mistake was made by you for grading with a gimmick company. Bunch of trust fund toddlers start a company and this is what you get. Congrats on you raw value slabs.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I enjoy my cards in any slab they are in.
Gotta love the flak from PSA fanboys about a company that gives almost anything a 10 including a very clearly off center 1/1 Wemby only so they can charge an extra premium. No thanks.
TAG ... THE FUTURE
Maybe… just not right now
I made the same mistake and I wasn’t happy at all. X is not worth it. My complaint made it to the owners of Tag and they gave me 15% off on my next order which I’m probably not going to use.
Thank you for subscribing!
I didn’t think there would be that many people agreeing with me on this matter. There just needs to be a TAG slab. No more X/S junk. Just TAG. Even if they don’t put the 3 digit score on the front, if I scanned the QR code and then it showed three digit score that would be awesome!
Hey, if you're not using it. Can I use it?
I tried finding it no luck but pretty sure the code was TAG15
@@JustDanielOG what do you mean?
Tried to find it, but pretty sure it was TAG15 code to get 15% off. Daniel
