About
Proof of what you own.
Boss Tag makes a record for a thing you own. A record is one page that says what the item is, what shape it is in, and that it is yours. Anyone can check it with a link or a QR code, and it goes to the next owner when you sell the item or give it away.
Why it exists
Most things worth keeping change hands with almost nothing to show for them: a folder of photocopies, a receipt in a drawer, somebody’s word. So buyers offer less, insurers ask for proof you do not have, and the story of an item is lost the day it leaves the family.
A record fixes the small, boring part of that. It keeps dated photos, the item’s condition and its history in one place that nobody can quietly change later, including us.
Who runs it
Boss Tag is built and run by one person, Isaac Hughes, in Indiana. There is no sales team and nobody will phone you. Questions are answered in writing.
What works today
- A record for almost anything you can photograph. Your first one is free.
- Gold, when the grader says yes. Gold today: coins and banknotes graded by PCGS; diamond and gemstone reports from GIA; sneakers, bags, watches, jewelry and clothing checked by LegitGrails. We check the certificate with them directly, and the record names who confirmed it. We never turn a record gold on our own say-so.
- A short video kept with the item. Someone signs it, or records a message for a gift, on their own phone. The video shows what happened. It is not proof that a signature is real.
- Handing it on. The record goes to the next owner by email or by a code they scan.
What does not work yet
- Not yet: trading cards graded by PSA, and autographs certified by PSA/DNA. Those get a plain record for now.
- The marketplace is not open. It opens when enough owners have asked to sell.
- A check by a named human expert, and an appraisal for insurance, cannot be bought today.
The full rule for what a record may claim, and who confirms what, is The Boss Tag Standard.
