Brutally Honest TAG Grading Review & Reveal! | What you NEED To Know! | Part 3
114📦 This is it! The FINAL part of my TAG Grading journey – and it’s time for the brutally honest review. After submitting 20 Pokémon cards to TAG, I finally received my graded slabs, and I’m opening them live with you. Did we finally get a TAG 10? How does the process compare to PSA, CGC, and Beckett? And most importantly, was it worth it? Let’s break it all down.
