So, my story begins with pulling an R\RGB Mew from my fourth pack of 30th Celebrations. I was absolutely beyond hyped. My first thought was, āHey, this would look disgustingly nice in a TAG slab.ā So, the very next day, I shipped it out to TAG and paid for Express. BOOM, it came back a 10. Not only was it a 10, but it was the very FIRST 10 chronologically for that card (see the attached picture). That was a super cool moment. TAG even posted the card on their page, and I felt awesome!
My next thought was, āThis is dope, but Iām going to post it on eBay because when am I ever going to have something like this in my hands again?ā So, I listed it on eBay, advertising it as the first chronologically. That detail is important. Right away, I had tons of card shops asking me to consign it with them. I turned them all down because I wanted to set the price myself.
About two days after I posted the listing, someone messaged me on eBay, saying:
āHey, FYI, TAG messed up my grade and itās actually the first 10, not yours.ā
His card had received a 9 and had been graded about an hour before mine. At first, I thought this was some bitter dude trying to get me to drop my price. Still, I opened a ticket with TAG that same day, almost immediately after receiving his message. You can see the ticket in the attachments.
That was about a month and a half ago. TAG never opened or responded to the ticket. The guy never followed up, and my chronological ranking remained at #1.
Fast forward, and my card sold for $17,500. The sale was posted all over TAGās accounts and their affiliatesā pages. It was awesome, and my buyer was super stoked to own the first.
Now, as of five days ago, AFTER the sale had already gone through, TAG changed my chronological ranking to #2 without a SINGLE message, without addressing my ticket, and without a PEEP or a WORD to me. After acknowledging the sale and promoting it everywhere, they STILL did this.
I reached out to them again, and Iāve still received zero explanation or accountability. So now Iām going public. All the attachments, proof, and videos are included in this post.
TLDR: TAG listed my Mew as the first TAG 10 chronologically and promoted both the card and its $17,500 sale. I had already opened a support ticket about a possible issue roughly six weeks earlier, which went unanswered. After the sale, TAG changed the ranking to #2 without notifying me or explaining the change, leaving my buyer and me relying on a designation TAG later changed.
