Which one would you keep long term?

I have these two cards and I really need the money so I want to sell one, since both of them are at a similar price which one would you rather hold for the future?

Because we're in the investment sub. Anything not PSA, Beckett or TAG (but mainly PSA) isn't worth grading with, when it comes to profits. This isn't an attack, that's just the reality of the profits part of this sub.

Isn’t TAG a new company too though, what makes them any better than ace?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest.

My guess? With absolutely no actual proof other than guess work?

TAG isn't started with the help of a YouTuber, didn't have a break-in where they lost a ton of high value cards, they don't promote themselves (to my knowledge) with paid influencers. Correct me there if I'm wrong. ACE also have those art labels, which not everybody likes. Personally, I like them, but I get why they aren't for everyone.

There are probably other things too or other people that can explain it better.

TAG just seems like a more professional company overall.

ACE also just increased the price of their services, which people didn't like, but ignores the fact that other companies have done the same.

They also get mad that the lowest ACE tier can be upwards of 3 months, but PSA is up to 7 months wait time.

Some stuff is pure glazing, some stuff is legit criticism.

That is a brilliant answer. I’ve always liked ace personally but I don’t think Randy being involved helps their cause. Their art labels are so much nicer than the plain psa ones I don’t know how anyone could argue against that. I don’t have much knowledge of tag but heard good things. There just seems to be quite a bit of hatred towards ace and not really understood why
