Grading Technology

Using Photometric Stereoscopic Imaging, TAG offers an unparalleled level of grading accuracy. TAG aims to represent the objective standard for collectible card grading.

TECHNICAL AUTHENTICATION & GRADING

Completely Transparent.


Introducing the first ever transparent, paperless, flip, otherwise known as the “tag."
TAG inscribes the grade and data directly onto the crystal clear encasing.
Slabs include an accurate Industry Standard 1-10 Grade as well as a Digital Image & Grading Report (DIG).
Slabs graded with DIG Report Plus receive a precise 1000 pt TAG Score, determining card grade-strength and ranking on the TAG Leaderboards.

CARD ID

All necessary metrics for identifying a card including name, year, set, card #, and variations. All verified by OCR and our Card ID department.

PROOF™ SECURITY TECHNOLOGY

Digital security measures are embedded in every slab. Use your smartphone to instantly verify TAG authenticity.

~99% UV RESISTANT

Made from UV and abrasion-resistant acrylic, TAG slabs block most UV rays <400 nm. With unmatched optical clarity, it's like holding crystal— you have to see it to believe it.

ERGONOMIC FORM

Designed with radiused edges to maximize in-hand comfort and maintain extreme durability. The slabs also interlock and stack easily.


​TAG believes the card's appearance should speak for itself.
Say goodbye to distracting paper flips. Instead, the TAG grades
and data are permanently inscribed directly inside the slab.

Conozca al fundador y CEO

Después de sesenta y cinco años coleccionando recuerdos deportivos, incluidos más de 400.000 cromos, mi hijo me hizo una pregunta que impulsó un empeño de 10 años que se convertiría en TAG: "Papá, sé que significan mucho para ti, pero ¿has pensado alguna vez en venderlos?".

Nunca había vendido un cromos y no tenía ni idea de cómo hacerlo. A los cinco años, compré mi primer cromos con mi propio dinero ganado haciendo tareas domésticas: un Wally Westlake '51 Redbacks. Desde entonces, he adquirido un montón de cromos, muchos de bastante más valor, pero ninguno más apreciado por mí...
