Cracked my CGC GM10 Pikachu that I sent to grade with CGC in May 2024 and that I’ve had since June 2024 thinking it had a decent shot at a TAG 10 … 🥲

Got my hands on my other chase card I've wanted for years super excited to finally own of of these 🎊🥳

They stack together too. Bought these from quietcustoms

I submitted ONE card in March back when express was advertised for 10 days! It’s been 39 business day!! And I still have not received it! On top of that I saw that they just changed their expected date to 30 days estimate. So my main issue here is as a customer who paid additional money for a service that advertised quicker time should atleast be reimbursed for what tier it actually fell in.

I reached out to support and they gave me a 10% percent off code(like hell I’ll do another submission). Only one card… lost a customer for a life time.

But for those that are pleased with the service I hope they keep treating the community well! Good luck !

Just checked my tag grade results and I got this chinese torkoal card in a perfect 1000 pristine 10. As far as I can find, this is the first ever 1000 graded. Here is the report: https://my.taggrading.com/card/H1756824 . This is crazy...

EDIT: Update on the card, TAG contacted me directly and we spoke about the discrepancy in card’s displayed grade and actual grade. After some discussion, the card has been returned for proper grading and will update this post again once the actual report is revealed. I know everyone was excited about ( I definitely was ) but I wouldn’t want to have a 1000 graded card if it wasn’t the actual one. TAG has left a response below, feel free to read it.

Hey everyone,

For the last few months I’ve been building a site called CheckAGrade because honestly… I got fed up with how bad most Pokémon price tracking sites are for graded cards.

Everything either:

• has terrible data,
• only tracks raw cards properly,
• is insanely cluttered,
• or feels like it was built in 2009.

I collect graded cards myself (PSA/BGS/CGC/TAG etc) and wanted something that felt more like a proper modern collection + price checking platform specifically for graded collectors.

The idea behind the site is to:

• track actual sold prices from collectors/community submissions,
• build real market data over time,
• let people search graded cards properly,
• and eventually make it a genuinely useful platform for collectors instead of another ad-filled mess.

The site is still early and I’m actively building it every day, so right now there’s currently no TAG or eBay sold data integrated yet — only RAW pricing data while the database gets populated by the community. That’s actually one of the biggest reasons I’m posting this now instead of waiting until later.

I’d genuinely love collectors helping shape what this becomes from the start.

A huge thing for me is that I don’t want this to turn into one of those soulless investor/flipper platforms. I want it to feel community-built and genuinely useful for people who actually love collecting.

So if anyone wants to:

• test it,
• break it,
• roast it,
• suggest features,
• or upload some cards/prices to help build the database,

I’d massively appreciate it.

Would genuinely love feedback — even brutal feedback.

All of these cards, are cards I ripped open (50k+ spend on ripping). Including my god pack. I send them for TAG grading since their slabs are cool and they provide archival protection and stuff. And paid extra so that I can get them quickly, 2k down the drain. Now I just want my cards back. I don't care about their reasons, they are my cards, I ripped them, it was so stupid of me to send all of them at once.

I have decided to request them to return the cards to me.

Rip. I'll keep one tho

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.

So finally after about a month my card got shipped to me and HAPPY TO SAY IT GOT A 10!!!

I figured out how to get my grading to go faster…. Just send them more… This will definitely work right?

Sent a couple of my PC Cards to TAG. Sent them via express and took a little over a month to get back. Overall very pleased. The slabs feel amazing! And great quality. My Umbreon Vmax also is now ranked #1 breaking the tie at 984!!!!

I was expecting a 9, maybe a 10. But not a Pristine 10!

Any recommendations on cases/guards or displays?

I didn’t even notice the ding on the bottom until I looked at the report, really like tag for the detailed data. For those experienced, how close was I to a mint 10 or a pristine 10 if it wasn’t for that ding?

Can’t tell if there’s a big white print line on that right side edge. Also would this be good to get graded? Back is clean. Thanks

Sent 16 cards in (13 from ascended) got back half as 10s. Paid for the 15 day took a little under 2 months. But they look great.
