Can't seem to find comps on this...any advice on where?

[MRich1976]

So I recently got a return on some cards I got graded. There's one in particular I cannot seem to find comps for anywhere.

I've checked 130point, eBay sales, and a few other places. So what I'm trying to do is find out where I can get a comp on a card like this, or how to establish a price if no comp is available.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get/establish comps on this? And what they might be? As far as I know, this is the only one of this card with this grade in existence (TAG Pristine 10) anywhere. The highest PSA I've found is a PSA 9, and there was one of those (PSA 9) listed on Goldin auctions at $75.

So AFAIK this card, with this grade, is a "Pop 1". I haven't decided if I want to sell this one or not, but I'm trying to figure out a good dollar figure in case I do.

This is the card:

Well if you want top dollar the thing to do would be to resubmit this and get it graded by one of the top two grading companies out there. I never heard of Tag and hence you will have trouble finding comps as a PSA or BGS 10 is going to sell way more than a 10 of some off brand grading company. If this company becomes legit and moves into the third spot and inches upward then you will be able to command top dollar like those two companies do for their 10's. Of course now many folks probably would not give you much more than a 9 from those two. So, my suggestion if you truly believe in this company hang onto it.

Nice looking slab and technology is the future but that not where the folks with the dollars are grading yet!

TAG is making some inroads. What I love about them is their grading reports. I know of people who are actually selling TAG 10's above PSA 10 comps.

But the bigger issue is I can't even find PSA 10 comps of this card.

Have any comps of Tag 10’s selling higher than psa 10’s.

Yes, there are some TAG 10's that sell above PSA. Besides that, this is a Pristine 10, which I don't think PSA has.

It also has a grading report that shows why the card is a Pristine 10.

Again you are just saying this and did not offer me any screen shots or photos to show actual cards of 10 TAG selling higher than PSA 10. As it probably a good opportunity to promote TAG grading but if your not showing facts no one going to check it out. As if folks see sales with prices more for TAG than PSA you will get some eyes to say perhaps I should try them. Again I think if your looking to sell a lot more folks would be willing to press the BUY button on a PSA 10 versus a TAG 10 as many folks love the whole PSA database and they have their whole collection in them. Many of those old time collectors will never switch their grading habit to a new format no matter how nice or accurate it is in grading. Just my opinion but good luck with whatever you do with the card as it a beauty.

Here's an example. Aaron Judge TAG 10 that sold for $90:


Same PSA 10 sold for $85 and $60:


Or how about this TAG 10 Pristine (sold for $120):


VS the same PSA 10 (sold for less than $35):


I can show even more examples, but I think this is sufficient for now.

I would agreed with you if you had shared Emmit Smith cards or older cards in tag holders (like 90 stuff). Many folks who put the big dollars in grading like the the big two PSA and BGS. Personally, I see too much of this stuff imo and think computer grading is the way to go to take out the human equation. Problem is I still do not trust computer grading either as I truly believe if someone want to set the difficulty on grading they could LOL.

Here a recent example of a PSA going from 9 to 10 after resubmitting from a local group on Facebook.










Of course it great for the sale value.

If you base it on current grading standards, you get consistency across the board, though. Digital grading eliminates most subjectivity.

But that being said, I think I have shown that TAG slabs can (and do) sell for more than PSA slabs.
