@@steelehere1 the cards that i submitted were from someone else. I got them from a guy in California. They weren’t my original cards! I wanted to do that on purpose…. Guess I should have mentioned that in the video
After seeing a few videos about tag and never doing a submission with any company. Its safe to say this video sold me, TAG is a cleaner look and a better product than what PSA pushes out. Great vid!
Yes totally! I don’t agree with the multiple resubmits to try and get the grade you want. The card should get the grade it earned and that is it! With TAG and the machine grading that’s what we are getting!
AWESOME!! This video gotta get out!!! This would be a major sell point if I were tag!! Screw PSA. Tag won me over for sure now!! And thanks to you my brotha for your work and video!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for the kind words! I am actually thinking of sneaking a previously graded TAG in with each order so see if they catch it each time. The cards they caught for resubmission weren’t mine to begin with. I got them from a guy in California, then cracked and subbed them.
I was to! Then I never saw it happen so I decided to burn the $40 to see if what they (TAG) said was true about their “fingerprints” technology. These resubmitted were not cards that I submitted in the first place. They were from someone in California that sent them to me for the test.
Nicely done. Yes, TAG is the future and i'm impressed it detected the same card on resubmit. TAG adding new TAG X service, I'm still concerns they are opening up more pop that will overshadow what a good thing is with TAG S.
Honestly, I was bummed when I found out what TAG_X was. I like the 3 point score. I have the approach that not all 10s are the same. If I have the highest scored card that would be awesome. TAG_S is what I prefer
Bomb squads and the home field advantages are all I really collect from Panini when it comes to baseball. Glad you enjoyed the video! I plan to make more!
#boycottPSA This was amazing. Great job. I have a bunch of 80s Topps will be regrading with TAG. Have some of their premium product already. Great video.
It is the future for sure. I’m willing to bet bigger companies will start doing something like this as well. PSA announced that they use a machine determine centering, and another machine takes pictures that look for polishes and waxes.
It’s a really bummer the submission kits used to be free! You don’t need to purchase a sub kit though, you can pack and send them in yourself to save some money.
Those 2 resubmits I did were from another collector (somewhere in California) and not me. I’m in Georgia and had them shipped to me, and I cracked and resubmitted. Really glad you enjoyed the test/video results
It also keeps the population report from inflation artificially. Most people crack the cards and just send the card out and not the serial number. So now you'll have a 9 and 10 of the same card. Artificially racing the population report on the 9.
This is a perfect argument that while TAG might be seen and mathematically more accurate but FLIPPERS really don't want accuracy they want 10's regardless of accuracy.
I love the way the Slabs come in Packs! I noticed they seemed tight when I watched previous videos but when I got my TAG Order back in August they weren't that bad to open. I have to admit that I think TAG & AI in general are the future of grading. I still like both of the LeBron James Cards and I think the Slabs are really sweet. The Ohtani is a really nice Card and I love the bump up! How do you feel about the 1000 Point grading system TAG uses? I really enjoyed watching your video, it was really interesting. I also like the transparency of TAG, some of my friends think it is "overkill" with all the reports but I like it. Keep the TAG videos coming, please! Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the kind words! I absolutely love the 1000 points scale, it speaks truth to “not all 10s are created equal”. For example a heavily graded card (89 upper deck, Griffey jr.) if I had the highest graded 10, I think it would be worth more than a 10 that got a lower score but is still considered a 10. I plan on making more TAG videos. One will be reviewing the new TAG_X grading tier…. Which I’m not a fan of, but it might grow on me.
That is a good idea actually, but the cost to send a card in now for TAG_S is 25-30 dollars just for one! When I did this test, it was 14 dollars for one card. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
Do you think TAG will ever grade raw vintage cards? I don't really want to submit or buy cards anymore from PSA or even SGC. But it's great that they were able to detect item(s) that were previously sent in for grading to a different company. I don't agree with resubmitting cards and cracking out of slabs to get better grades. PSA seems to be really bad at being able to realize it was previously a SGC or BGS graded card.
I don’t think TAG will grade vintage, and here is why: they are big on AI grading and a machine doing most if the work. It’s easy to make counterfeit vintage cards and it takes a real specialist to determine if a card is legit or not, I don’t think they want to rely on a machine to determine if it is a fake card. They would run the risk of grading a fake card… that would kill a little company
Scary thought. Maybe put a micro water mark on the cards when you use TAG so they can identify them, The fingerprint identifier i dont see how that would work because most people wipe and use gloves when grading, here are no finger prints...that would not be good
TAG identities very microscopic errors in the card (that don’t affect the grade) and they use though as “fingerprints” to identify a card that has been submitted in the past. No actual fingerprints are used to ID a card.
To be honest, if I was a company like tag, I would look for resubmission from the same person. I think for a truly objective result, someone else should submit one of your cards to them because their system could easily flag that you have submitted that particular card before!
Yea man they are pretty on par with matching “industry standards”. They are definitely not one of the pop grader companies that over grade everything. They had price changes 2 times in past 3 months. They are trying to find a sustainable footing though. If you are looking to flip cards fast, probably not TAG…. Hold cards for awhile then sell, maybe TAG…. Slabs PC Cards, TAG is probably the way to go.
Yea man! I was skeptical at first reading their fingerprint technology, but it worked! They spotted them! These weren’t even my cards to begin with. I got them from someone in California.
Hey buddy I was actually gonna make a video about a submission I did with Tag next week, mind if I shout out this video/your channel in my video? This is really cool, people should know about this.
Yes sir go right ahead! I think people should know about what TAG is doing! I’m not a fan of “grade fishing” it seems TAG has found a way to stop that when you grade with them.
@@FastYouth1313-Kardz my video goes live tomorrow at 8am pst! i took two screenshots from your video and plugged your channel/vid in both my video and the description! Thanks again man, really cool video and people need to see it haha.
I wonder what the resale of tag slabs are, can’t imagine it’s as high as psa. Not a psa fanboy at all, I’m a money fanboy lol, definitely would not be cracking and resubmitting psa 10’s for tags. Jmo though. Nice video.
I hear ya! I collect cards but I like to collect Benjamins 💵 more! Certain TAG cards are somewhat comparable in price to PSA, but most are not. I think in a couple years TAG will break into the top 3 graders.
Only watched a few tag opening videos. Some slabs are in a clear sleeve after opening from the original package and some are not. One video was from a year ago and all were double bagged and these were not. Did they stop doing that.
They did stop doing it unfortunately. Now they offer a $1 “up charge” Card Care option per card. if you opt in for Card Care, TAG will wipe off the card of smudges, fingerprints, debris and supply you with a slab bag. The slabs are not placed in the bag though… they just come in box and the customer has to put the slabbed card in the bag. If you decline Card Care then you get no slab bag, and when open the card from the TAG wrapper, it will look like what you see in this video.
Interesting company, I like their slabs a lot. I am still lost on how the "fingerprint" works and is used to catch a resub? Especially if a raw card was sent from 2 separate accounts? Or what if I had 2 of the same card and sent the other one in? Thanks
From what I can read from their website, their AI scanner identifies Non-human observerable defects (NHODs). It maps out the NHODs and saves them is a repository in their system. If the same card comes back and it matches to the stored NHODs of that particular card, the system flags it as a resubmission. With the cards that were flagged in this video, they weren’t mine to begin with, they were donated for this experiment. I didn’t do anything to “touch up” the resubmitted cards… who knows what happens if you try to clean up a cracked TAG slab card and resubmit it….
Just saw this video… looks interesting. Can you crack one out and have a buddy resubmit it. I wonder if TAG’s technology can only catch your own resubs or if it can catch a card resubbed by another person.
So that is exactly what I did! The cards that were resubmitted came from California, I’m in GA. They were not mine to begin with. I really wish I would have mentioned that!
@@FastYouth1313-Kardz that’s good to hear! Yea your video just came on my algorithm and I clicked on it so I just thought you submitted 1st time also. Keep up with the content!
@@kly1994 I did make another video about how someone tried to beat the fingerprint technology. Interesting stuff on that! I have 2 more videos queued up! Thank you for the kind words!
To be honest I’m not liking it. I do a have sub of 6 cards I’m sending in. I’m going to do a review when I get them back. I’m very interested in the new “DINGS” report that they say will simplify the “why” you card graded the way it did.
So… comps are sort of all over the place depending the card. PSA is on top with ultra modern and probably TCG. Where SGC dominates is the vintage market. CGC is the place to go for TCG, but if you have a PSA 10 1st edition charazard vs a CGC of the same… PSA will be worth more. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It was to see if TAG would grade it its same as the industry standard PSA. It was an experiment. Also, that PSA 10 barely worth the plastic it holdered in.
If you watch some of my other videos… I have sworn off TAG. I have cracked a lot of cards out of the TAG slab to resubmit to PSA or sell RAW. TAG does have the best slabs though!
Wish I could post a picture to show what the website said about the resubmits
I have to say, seeing the both cards come back with IDENTICAL scores and identifications. This company is the future. Great video
Thank you good sir! I really think TAG is onto something with their grading!
Impressive that they caught resubmit. I wonder if you used some else's account and address if that would happen.
@@steelehere1 the cards that i submitted were from someone else. I got them from a guy in California. They weren’t my original cards! I wanted to do that on purpose…. Guess I should have mentioned that in the video
That's what I was thinking. I was reassured that their process is valid.

They are really onto something with grading! Check out my other video where someone tried to beat the fingerprint technology
Incredible. PSA is a joke next to this. The fact that they caught the resubmit and pop reports stay real is amazing. Seriously considering TAG.
I agree completely! It is amazing that there technology can catch it!
I love that they caught it. This is great news!

I am liking them as well! I am interested in their new grading tier called TAG X. I will be doing a video on that as well when my cards come back.

I agree, thank you for watching!
That is awesome! Love the two cards they caught. I think I'm completely sold on this company.
I really enjoy them as well! Cutting down on the crack and resubmit is one of things that attracts me to them. I just had to test it out for myself

That would be awesome if it did! I’m just happy I found a grader that is transparent and can spot the resubmit.
Excellent video. Gave me the information I was searching for and then some.
Glad it helped out! Thanks for watching!
Man, really loved this video man. Ordering my submission kit right now, no joke.
It’s a really bummer the submission kits used to be free! You don’t need to purchase a sub kit though, you can pack and send them in yourself to save some money.
Super cool … Thanks for sharing
Check my other video about the resubmissions…..
This is the first time I seen resubmit been waiting 🤩🤩🤩
That why I did it! I wanted to know for myself! They posted about their technology but no one (outside of TAG) ever tested it!
Great test, curious to see if the resubmits would grade the same if submitted by another collector. I really want to use TAG for all future grading.
Those 2 resubmits I did were from another collector (somewhere in California) and not me. I’m in Georgia and had them shipped to me, and I cracked and resubmitted.

That’s impressive that matching.
Yea man! It’s kind of crazy how they can ID micro defects and map them to create a fingerprint to aid in stopping resubmissions
Great video, thank you

Thank you watching. Hope more people with grade with TAG now
Tag is a real one.
Whoa can’t believe they caught it. So interesting.

Next test -
Crack one out and slightly brush the surface or edge to “lower” the grade and see if they catch it.

TAG THE BEST
Little late, but curious why did Tag say that Lebron should be a 7? Does look a little OC, and BGS gave that a 8.5. The rest seemed fine.
So… they said it was the corners… I don’t agree with them on that. The machine said they were bad though and that’s that I guess!

Why would you crack a PSA 10? ddd
