COMC Now Accepting TAG Graded Cards For Consignment!

Posted on by

COMC is thrilled to announce that we now accept all TAG (Technical Authentication & Grading) graded cards! TAG is known for their patented automated grading process, transparent (inscribed) slabs, and unprecedented range of tools to help you understand a card’s grade.

TAG cards receive a standard 1-10 grade prominently listed on the right side of the slab as well as a precise TAG Grade out of 1,000 which is visible on the card’s scannable TAG. The scannable TAG offers a comprehensive Digital Image and Grading (DIG) Report. This showcases the card’s position on the TAG Leaderboard and “digs” deep into its condition, detailing surface defects, centering measurements, corner and edge metrics, card population, chronology, and more. TAG also provides submission kits, high-res photographs of the finished slabs, and returns each slab in a sealed pack for a fun grade reveal. Learn more by visiting taggrading.com or following @taggrading on any social platform.

We hope you are as excited as we are to see your TAG cards on the COMC marketplace! Submit your TAG cards today for consignment at a fixed price or through our auction services!
