Some information for you
Advantages of AI-supported grading at TAG
TAG's AI-powered grading offers greater precision and transparency than traditional grading methods. Automated image processing and high-resolution scans ensure cards are assessed objectively and accurately—without human subjectivity. Each slab contains a detailed digital grading report that explains why a card received its specific grade. Additionally, TAG's tamper-proof technology with QR code and NFC ensures maximum traceability.
Perfect for collectors seeking absolute accuracy, consistency, and modern innovation!
Cleaning service from TAG Grading
TAG's card care service includes the careful and meticulous removal of any dirt, fingerprints, or residue from your card's surface. Residue on the card's surface can negatively impact its overall grade. This includes a protective, sealable record sleeve to prevent future scratches. TAG also uses a process called "deionization" to reverse the static charge on the card's surface. This makes the card less susceptible to attracting dust particles.
Shipment
Your package will be sent directly to us in Cologne.
After we have secured and processed your shipment, we will prepare your cards for shipping to TAG.
At the top of the page, you'll see a timer for the next submission. If you submit your cards and they arrive before the timer expires, they'll be included in the monthly submission. Otherwise, your cards will be processed with the next submission. You'll receive an email when your cards have been received and processed for submission, so you'll know when we've processed them.
We love transparency! That's why you can see where your cards are at any time on our website.
You will only be charged at checkout for the return shipping of your cards to you after we have received them back from TAG.
Processing time
Unfortunately, the processing times stated can be significantly changed/influenced by the following factors:
- Processing by PSA/BGS/CGC/VGA/TAG
- Customs offices through return shipment
- Miscellaneous
We're doing our best to make things happen quickly, but unfortunately, sometimes our hands are tied. We hope for your understanding.
Card Grade Form (optional)
The card grade form is OPTIONAL, so you don't have to use it, but you can if you want.
You will receive the form via email after placing your order. The easiest way is to fill it out digitally, print it out, and simply enclose it with the package you're sending us.
Then nothing stands in the way of your degree.
