TAG is a newcomer to the grading industry but provides the most transparent grading scale without the effect of human bias and skew. All of their grades are performed electronically with extreme amounts of detail and proof to back up every grade they produce. Additionally, they also provide two tiers of grading, TAG X & TAG S, where TAG X is the more typical 1-10 grading scale familiar to most graders and TAG S is on a 1000-pt scale and allows each graded card a more detailed grading report and a position on their unique leaderboards.
