[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

In Texas they told me to stop at Buc-ee's for gas.

I have been to shrines. I have stood in temples that took two hundred years to build.

I was not prepared for the gas station.

There were one hundred and twenty fuel pumps.

I counted them because I did not believe them.

A man beside me was filling a truck the size of my first apartment, and he was not filling it because it was empty.

He was filling it because he was here, and here is where a man fills things.

Inside was a hall so vast I lost the horizon.

A wall of jerky. A wall of fudge I did not know the country produced.

A brisket sandwich handed to me by a man in a beaver costume.

And I want to be clear, the beaver is not a mascot.

The beaver is a saint.

The people speak of him the way my grandmother spoke of the mountain behind her house.

And the bathrooms.

I had been warned about the bathrooms and I had dismissed the warning as the pride of a loud people.

I was wrong to dismiss it.

The bathrooms are famous across the whole state and they have earned it.

I have slept in worse hotels. I nearly bowed upon entering.

A janitor was polishing the floor with the devotion of a man tending a garden he loved, and when I thanked him he said "welcome in," which I have since learned is what Texas says instead of hello, and also instead of I am glad you exist.

I went in for gas. I was inside for ninety minutes.

I came out with fudge, a shirt printed with a joke I do not fully understand, forty dollars of jerky, and a feeling I can only describe as having been to church.

I did not need any of it.

I needed all of it.

I have walked through the great cathedrals of the old world. I lit no candle there.

I lit no candle at Buc-ee's either.

But I did fill the truck.

And I understand now that in Texas, this is the same thing.

@NerdyPopsRuss Usually a card will say do something for “each energy” or “each energy card” attached. I think it is understood that special energy is a specific card type and only ever counts for one at a time.

[TAG @TAGgrading]

$660,000, Record Breaking sale. Now, crossed to a different Grade.

Originally graded by a manual grading company and sold as an 8 (NM-MT).

Now regraded as a TAG 933 (9 Mint) with the transparent data to support it.

The card didn’t change.
The industry standards and level of scrutiny didn’t change.
The method of evaluation did: TAG technology.

For decades, grading has relied on human judgment.
Experience mattered. Reputation mattered.
But subjectivity was unavoidable.

Manual grading gives you an opinion without any explanation or data to support it. Collectors should not be left wondering “why?”

TAG was built on a different premise:

If a grade matters, the process behind it should be measurable, visible, and consistently applied to every card. Each grade should be accompanied by a report identifying the meaningful defects.

On this Tom Brady card, the surface is exceptionally clean.
The corners and edges are sharp.
The centering narrowly qualifies for Gem Mint, measuring just within 55/45 (F 46.25L/53.75R 45.98T/54.02B B 51.05L / 48.95R 50.32T / 49.68B)
The primary DING was the back right corner which had some slight corner wear.
A manufacturer-origin holo line is present along the top edge — a common Kaboom characteristic that does not prevent Gem Mint qualification.

This card does not, and should not, qualify as Gem Mint. But its quality exceeds the grading standard of an 8. The card is now TAG’d as a 9 (933), with its grading data accessible to everyone in the pop report.

Trust shouldn’t be earned through branding or legacy.
Trust is earned through transparency.
This is the standard of grading every card, and collector, deserves.

DEFECTS IDENTIFIED OF NOTABLE GRADE SIGNIFICANCE (DINGs) Included:
FRONT RIGHT - CORNER WEAR BOTTOM RIGHT - CORNER WEAR

OTHER ANNOTATED DEFECTS:

TOP FRONT - HOLO LINE (ORGANIC/MFR.)
BACK SCRATCH
BACK SURFACE DEFECT

CENTERING:
F: 46.25 L / 53.75 R | 45.98 T / 54.02 B
B: 51.05 L / 48.95 R | 50.32 T / 49.68 B
