PSA Grading Specials

thestickman1 · 08-31-2022, 12:20 PM

Hi Everyone...any rumors on the next PSA Grading Specials for the fall season?

Thor34 · 08-31-2022, 02:23 PM

This is one thing that never seems to get leaked.

Keep an eye on their social media accounts. I'd expect some sort of announcement very soon, be it a lower priced tier or specials to gradually bring in those stacks of cards. The backlog is largely exhausted, most of the $30 subs appear to be in QA, and many of the $18 subs are in Assembly or later. Even if they managed to somehow get 2M cards from the special, probably 1/3 or more or them are already past the grading stage leaving perhaps just five weeks worth of material remaining.

Zero $30 subs have shipped.

my $18 special sub of 20 cards was received on 8/6/22 and went into assembly (5) on 8/26/22. That is ahead of what was estimated

I hope you're right! I sent in a bunch of cards at the $18 level. I miss the quarterly special. Even if it was 80's Baseball or 1964 Topps Football only. I'd like them to bring that back soon.

There was a post or two of someone's $18 or $30 order shipping already. It's hair splitting regardless. I have two in QA2 just waiting for a shipping label. The point is they might only have a month's worth of cards to grade. And, even if they have two months sitting there, they probably want to have at least a few weeks of backlog sitting around to ensure a supply of stuff to grade.

A post or two now equals "many". Id guess those aren't real either and now you are trying to save face. We have a lot of those subs in and expect that when the backlog is cleared the $30's will pop fast.

FWIW if there were any (not even many) there would be an uproar about it and there isn't. Stop posting false statements, it doesn't help anyone.

Post edited to satisfy your reading way too much into it. The fact remains most of those are in QA and the statement was factual with or without the OR in there. I will reiterate for the second time, PSA has weeks, not months worth of cards sitting there to grade regardless of what has or has not shipped to this point.

There was one guy who posted an $18 submission back on YouTube. It was probably an outlier, but at least 1 has gotten through the system.

Someone in NYC cannot authoritatively state what's been shipped out of Sana Ana, and yet, he gets particular with my word choice. No wonder more and more people are saying eff it to social media.

You said "MANY $30 SUBS WERE SHIPPED". That is a false statement. End of discussion. You are the problem with social media, when people make false statements and then other continue with what was said the false statement becomes true in many people's eyes. Just stick to facts and we will all be ok.

I said OR shipped. It can rain OR snow and at the end of the day, it's wet. QA or shipped meaning LATE IN THE PROCESS. You read into that too much like some PSA PR stuntman. Put the damn ego away.

imbluestreak23 · 09-01-2022, 12:08 PM

Not many $30 subs have been shipped, that's a fact.

But many will in the next 2 weeks, that is a fact. My only two have been cookin' in QA2 for over a week. Once that volume pushes through, it's on to $18 orders baby!

Specials will return. (In Bane's voice) "They will need it"

I agree with this. Id say they start late next week to come back and come in hot and heavy. I also would guess that before they start coming back PSA will announce some kind of special.

Hi hope so! Thanks!

The_Reverend · 09-01-2022, 01:32 PM

I wonder if $30 that went in after $18 special will be of higher priority? I would say no, but that would be interesting. Josh, I am not even much worried because my order was heavy hockey, so January/February is fine by me. I wonder did I have the biggest hockey order? Lol.

Hey only 47 days until the puck drops! Feels like it just ended.

Mine was. I sent in two - $18 specials subs (>1996 and <1996), one - $30 value and one - $50 econo in the same package. The $30 are in grading today, the $18 values are still in research and I already got back the $50 Econo. They were sent July 29.

Who pisssed in your cheerios today? An $18 special has already finished and shipped. The submitter posted screeenshots and a video of the reveal. It appears many orders are in the QA stages right now in the Value / July special levels. I have 4 July special orders sitting in QA1 right now. It was a factual statement...

One $18 order has shipped! Wow! Thats many?!

Glad the lies and misinformation is being called out.

zdawgs · 09-01-2022, 08:12 PM

Tired of people getting orders back when I still have an order from March 2021 sitting in grading. That sucks.

Self submitted or through a 3rd party? What's the "Entered" date?
