For centering it said your top bottom was 40T 60B on the front as well as 39T 61B on the back for centering. That alone will drop your grade

When you reviewed the Dings Map section of the report, you never toggled to the back of the card, you only stayed on the front. I'm curious if the issue was on the back of the card. #TheHobbyist

Good point. If you're talking about the Kelce card, the back shows top/bottom centering to be slightly less that 40/60, but the section labeled "DEFECTS IDENTIFIED OF NOTABLE GRADE SIGNIFICANCE" only shows the front centering as being the issue. I don't know if this means they don't grade the backside as strictly as the front, or if there is something else I might have overlooked. I have another order coming from TAG tomorrow so I'm thinking about doing another video with more focus on the reports now that I'm a little more familiar with them. I honestly didn't think I'd be so overwhelmed with the amount of information the first time I looked at it!

further proof that even tho people think TAG is giving them a flawless report card, in the long run, it is probably just trumped up data that isn't properly applied when it comes to a final grade...as you say, how can a card get a 9 with all of those high subgrades? 999 for a rough corner?

It would be nice to have them explain why it's like this. Having the numbers is nice but still leaves collectors guessing as to what they are looking for and what causes which grades.

The back centering dropped it down 1 full point I think.

I think TAG dropped the ball on that Kelce card. I don't know how you look at that back bottom corner and think "yeah, that's a 999" when it's clearly damaged in the picture. I don't think the card received a 9 because of back centering. Their grading standards say a Gem Mint card can have 70/30 centering on the back for sports cards. So you're in the clear there. IMHO, the card got a 9 because of that corner. It's just their grading report doesn't accurately reflect that numerically.

That's a good point. I showed my friend, and he was also confused about the score, but we hadn't considered the report itself might be the real issue.

@@funcle_kevin I mean it's just a guess on my part obviously. I'm not that familiar with TAG. I've used PSA, SGC, and CSG (or whatever they're calling themselves this week). The few TAG digg reports I've looked at made sense as far as why the grade is the grade. That's the only one I'm stumped by.

@@JChamberlin I think it's a pretty good guess and at least satisfies my curiosity for now. I might send in another batch that I look over more closely, using this batch as sort of a baseline. Hopefully there will be consistency.
