TAG offers three straightforward pricing tiers. Competitive rates make professional grading accessible. Prices shown are approximate and may vary.
The most affordable TAG option. A solid entry point for collectors who want professional grading with advanced scanning technology at a competitive price.
Faster turnaround for cards you need graded sooner. A good middle ground between cost and speed for mid-value cards.
The fastest TAG option for high-value cards. Get your grades back in about a week with priority handling throughout the process.
Prices are approximate and may vary based on declared card value, promotions, and submission volume.
TAG brings a technology-first approach to card grading with competitive pricing and a growing collector community.
TAG uses advanced high-resolution scanning technology for card authentication and grading. This technology-driven approach helps ensure consistent, accurate grading across all submissions with detailed digital documentation of each card.
As a newer entrant to the grading market, TAG offers some of the most competitive pricing available. Standard grading starts at approximately $18 per card, making professional grading accessible to collectors who might not justify PSA or BGS costs.
TAG holders feature a distinctive design that sets them apart from other grading companies. The modern holder construction provides strong card protection while offering a clean, contemporary presentation for display and storage.
TAG is steadily building collector trust and market acceptance. While still newer than established companies like PSA and BGS, TAG's focus on technology and competitive pricing is attracting a growing community of collectors and dealers.
The per-card grading fee is just the start. Here are the additional costs that add up quickly.
You pay to ship cards to TAG and they charge a return shipping fee. Insured shipping for valuable cards adds more. Expect $10-$20 minimum round trip per submission.
Standard shipping insurance may not cover your cards fully. Declared value insurance through TAG or third-party carriers adds to your total cost, especially for cards worth $500+.
TAG requires specific submission supplies including card savers and packing materials. Factor in roughly $5-$10 in supplies per submission batch.
As a newer entrant to the grading market, TAG-graded cards may not yet command the same resale premiums as PSA or BGS. The resale market for TAG slabs is still developing.
A raw card in great condition may sell for more than the same card slabbed with a low TAG grade. Pre-screening helps you avoid paying to grade cards that will not benefit from a slab.
AI pre-screening identifies your best cards before you pay TAG prices. Only submit cards that are actually worth grading.
Result: 3 cards grade high, 7 cards grade poorly. You paid $126 to grade cards that did not benefit from a slab.
Result: All 3 cards grade high. You saved $136 by only submitting your best cards.
TAG grading ranges from approximately $18 per card for Standard service (30+ business day turnaround) to $100 per card for Premium service (5+ business days). Their competitive pricing makes them an attractive option for collectors looking for professional grading at lower cost.
The cheapest TAG option is their Standard tier at approximately $18 per card with a 30+ business day turnaround. To reduce costs further, submit in bulk to spread shipping costs across more cards, and pre-screen with AI to avoid paying for cards that will grade poorly.
