While submissions from the spike we saw following our pause announcement are still arriving, we have received fewer than anticipated. Our current backlog is at approximately 12 million units and trending down, as our operations team is working overtime and weekends to ensure continued progress.

$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.
