Supported grading companies

Every grade dropdown in Mintlytics supports the same four grading companies:

| Company | Colour | Verification | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | PSA | Gold | In-app cert lookup (Elite) | Industry standard, premium pricing | | BGS | Blue | Deep-link to beckett.com | Sub-grade focus, blue label coveted at 9.5+ | | CGC | Violet | Deep-link to cgccards.com | Mid-tier, fast turnaround | | TAG | Emerald | Deep-link to taggrading.com + QR-code hint | AI-graded with laser-etched clear slabs |

How grade detection works

When we scan an eBay listing, we look for grade tokens in the title:

• PSA 10 matches PSA 10 (with optional spaces)
• BGS 9.5 matches BGS 9.5 or Beckett 9.5
• CGC 9 matches CGC 9
• TAG 9.5 matches TAG 9.5 or Technical Authentication 9.5

The detected grade drives bid analysis (uses that grade's market value), Sniper margin computation, and Sold tab filtering.

TAG slabs

TAG (Technical Authentication Grading) is the fastest-growing grader in 2026. Their slabs are clear with laser etching — no coloured label — and each has a QR code on the back that opens a full digital grading report instantly. We support TAG 10 / 9.5 / 9 / 8 across every feature.
