Bought this off eBay, seller definitely didn’t mention this, but also TAG completely missed these smudges on the card. Doesn’t come out that well in pictures but there are a few smudges or discolored spots on the bottom of the card. Not sure if someone used like a marker to fill in whitening or something but you can see these smudges from most angles in person.

Also there is a bit of whitening in the top right back corner. Maybe I’m nitpicking there but I think that might have to affect the grade. This seemingly barely came out in the DIG report but it’s also more noticeable in person.

Not sure if I should reach out to the eBay seller and/or TAG and if I am qualified for any sort of compensation anywhere.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I’ve bought 3 other TAG 10s off eBay and none looked like this, I’m honestly thinking TAG just messed up on this one since in some lightings, the discolorings aren’t noticeable.

Ive seen friends’ names here be yellow, white, green, and red. Is yellow your original partner? My Charizard was yellow and I believe he was my buddy but it was so long ago I can’t remember. And white I believe is already in your party? I saw a few friends in red but it was mostly legendaries. Does that mean they are too big to join the party?
