TAG lists five US-direct grading tiers from $39.95 to $299.95 per card. Its September 30 update says expanded accessible services reopened, but they may be limited or paused again. Value and Bulk remain paused.
Base has a five-card minimum: 5 × $39.95 = $199.75 in grading fees. Return shipping is calculated separately at checkout. Published turnaround is estimated from intake, never guaranteed.
CardGrade is independent of TAG. Professional grading remains final.

Return shipping is calculated separately at checkout. You also arrange incoming shipping; taxes and optional choices can affect the final total. Do not treat the five-card Base subtotal as an all-in quote.
Use TAG’s official eligibility matrix for the exact card. The published sources conflict at the 50pt thickness boundary; ask TAG to confirm borderline eligibility rather than assuming either side of that boundary qualifies.
