@broccoAK@ZamielJC@getcollectrapp@ThiagoNigro Tell me you don’t care about integrity without telling me. TAG literally offers the DIG report showing every aspect of the card and what it was scored the way it was on a 1000 point scale. But yeah sure, Jeff from PSA surely isn’t skewing grades 😂 PSA fanboys all the same
@ZamielJC@getcollectrapp@ThiagoNigro I love how every time a TAG card gets posted here, there are instantly people in the comments deepthroating them as if they're getting paid. Curious, isn't it?
A TAG 10 1st Edition Shadowless Charizard (score 970) just sold in a confirmed private sale for a total value of $700,000 in a trade plus cash deal.
The card was sold by Benjamin Be to @ThiagoNigro
This is the highest graded 1st Edition Shadowless Charizard at TAG and marks a massive milestone not just for the card, but for TAG as a grading company.

@ZamielJC@getcollectrapp@ThiagoNigro Absolutely agree. An AI isn’t going to scuff a grade because the spouse is getting a divorce from them and thus ruined their day/mood/drive. It’s insane to think people have trusted PSA this long when it’s solely in the hands of a flawed human to decide what the card grades.
@getcollectrapp@ThiagoNigro Thing is, using AI as a judge is better than human judges.
It makes sense for TAG to master this model.
PSA 10 is nowhere near the precision of TAG 10.
TAG will give confidence close to 100% that the card is genuinely mint or not.
@AdamZiz The memories you make pulling cards yourself/with loved ones is worth more than any monetary value you can place on a card. Love this representation in the hobby.
@AmaTcgpoke Idk we’ve got some bangers in destined rivals. Personally Mewtwo is my top chase with Ho-Oh right behind as it reminds me of the first episode of the Pokemon anime.
PSA label is what I don’t like. I understand the liquidity, but the cards I like to collect now become less visually appealing in PSA slabs. It’s that simple. Red and white label looks like 💩 on cards with gold foiling.
@atlas_CS2@Bellsprout_Boss Realistically, most people aren’t selling their potential 10s unless they don’t grade cards at all. Also, it just feels even more satisfying to know the card that YOU pulled ended up grading as a 10!
@Crayving@Bellsprout_Boss i pulled this card and it would grade only a 7 at max. buying your loved cards is just better especially if you want them graded
@Game101Tweet@Bellsprout_Boss Personally yes because of the hits you get along the way and the satisfaction you get the moment you reveal that card in a pack you ripped. Those moments are always worth it for my wife and I.
@collectdotrip If you’re going for a master set I understand that. Or the set is out of print now so you’re forced to buy the single since you never pulled it. But it’s absurd to tell people to buy singles instead of opening packs. It’s the thrill of the chase and the meaning of the hobby.
@Crayving collectors (even if financially incentivized are part of the hobby)
But to ask "why would anyone rip" is insanely out of touch
Rip packs + buying chase cards is the way
@FABIOof119@Bellsprout_Boss Addiction means lack of willpower, which means no self control and poor decision making, which would lead to poor finance management and homelessness. Just keep coping with your bad luck and bought singles. Ripping is what the hobby is all about n
@Crayving@Bellsprout_Boss It is quite literally a gambling addiction. In 2025 alone, I ripped probably 100 packs each of every set only to eventually come to this conclusion.
Also, the only thing room temp IQ about this convo is your logic. You can be an addict and not be homeless? LMAO
@FABIOof119@Bellsprout_Boss Calling someone a gambling addict because they choose to/can afford to open packs is a wild thing to say. If it was gambling addiction, I’d be homeless with no food and forced to sell my chase cards. Room temp IQ take.
@Crayving@Bellsprout_Boss Is what gambling addicts say. Until you actually try buying the card you want and realize it’s way nicer to just have what you wanted in the first place and tons of money leftover compared to gambling on a pull and a good grade
@FlockMastaMon Guys don’t buy these if you intend to grade them. Stored in semi rigid or toploaders with the plastic still on is an obvious way to cause imprints on the backs of the cards. None of these will be 10s when graded.
@PinkDiamondz911@SkyGuyAnakin69@crazyclips_ “I do not know anything about these ‘lifts’ but I’ve seen several cars fall from ‘whatever these are’ I swear you can’t make this up.
@SkyGuyAnakin69@crazyclips_ I do not. But I do know that she was NOT supposed to be left asleep in that car— it’s a HAZARD and it’s grounds for a lawsuit. I’ve seen several of cars fall from whatever this is, and it’s not SAFE or recommended that people be left inside. Good day.
