well they received my cards (standard on 7/27) and they are shipping today... I think that is pretty damn quick... but here's how little i actually know:

I sent in what I thought was a "perfect" Kobe Topps RC - got an 8.5
I sent in a "nice" Kobe Skybox Premium - got a 10
I sent in a "nice" Kobe Bowman's best - got a 9
I sent in a "nice" Kobe Fleer - got a 9

Basically I have no fing clue what I'm doing... but at least I got a 10 on the premium. I think I need to invest in a better spy glass!!!

Ranges from 1 day to 1 month. My order that popped today was only in QA2 for 24 hours.

Does anyone have estimates of:

20 Day = ?? Days
10 Day = ?? Days
5 Day = ?? Days

I’m pretty sure it varies by who you submit with.

just a general question about vouchers with CC. when they send you the email with the voucher code, do you need the physical copies of the vouchers to arrive by mail before submission or can you simply put the voucher numbers on the submission form and send them that way? another way of asking, do the physical copies of the vouchers need to be in the box with your submission or do they simply need the voucher numbers?

thank you for the answer, i haven't yet received them and was wondering if it would be possible to send out now as opposed to waiting for them to arrive so i haven't physically seen them, but the FAQ was as clear as mud. i'll just be patient.

your vouchers should be there when you are filling out the form for submission. there's an option for you to choose the voucher or pay different service.

when you get a voucher, they literally mail you a voucher with a serial #. the serial # is what goes into the form, but they also ask that you mail the physical voucher in with your submission.

How much over declared value is normal before an up charge in service level. Im thinking specifically on express, but even in general terms. Probably a broad question. With the wait time it’s hard to know what to put anymore with prices going crazy.

Nice! Congrats on the gem rate. Looks like I’ve got a few more months to go on my order that’s been sitting in research since 6/10

I've never sent in the physical vouchers with any of my CC orders from the past two years (2 memberships with the vouchers spread out over 6 orders). If you fill out the submission form online, you get the option to select your vouchers to use for the order.

aggie4ever just beat me to it. You don't have to wait for any vouchers in the mail just click on your account then my membership then you should see Total Vouchers on the right. Click on the Unredeemed and you'll see your voucher number,voucher total and expiration date.

Joe Orlando is now saying that the current PSA backlog is now up to 1.5 million cards.

Finally popped today!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny thing is, the order is so old the CC that I had in December is expired. The best part is, they dont publish the grades until I call with a CC number. There goes that loophole
