CARD DECERTIFIED
NOTICE OF CAUTION
This TAG Certification number is no longer active.
This item is NOT covered by the TAG Guarantee and is
NOT considered an active TAG-certified card.
Decertification exists to protect collectors and the secondary market.
When a slab is compromised, altered, or cannot be confidently validated,
TAG may deactivate its certification to prevent uncertain or fraudulent items
from circulating. This ensures trust in graded assets, safeguards long-term value,
and maintains integrity across the hobby.
Why This Can Happen
- The slab was tampered with or compromised.
- The card was removed from the original slab.
- The slab was cracked, altered, or resealed.
- The card or slab was labeled counterfeit or altered.
- A mechanical/clerical/data processing error required decertification.
- Ownership disputed or flagged as stolen.
- The certification was voluntarily surrendered.
What This Means
- The grade displayed should NOT be relied upon.
- No representation of grade accuracy is made.
- This card is NOT eligible for TAG protections.
- Market value should be viewed with caution.
- Buyers should perform due diligence.
