I have 2 express orders received 2/26 and 3/1 still not ‘logged in’ and this was after they sat at the post office for a week each. PSA has no handle on their business at this time, it might be best to wait a few weeks/months unless you don’t care about turnaround time.

They are playing games with the CTD tracker. The slower they log them, the easier it is to show movement on the premium orders.

Are you kidding? Ugh! I sent in a super express on 3/24 (along with a regular order). USPS said it was delivered and PSA said it was received on the 3/25. I had high hopes for a quick turnaround. I totally misunderstood the “received” date vs the “entered” date. So now I understand that they will continue to sit on my cards for 2 weeks before they even enter them. Then another 2 weeks for them to get graded. So I am paying $300 a card for what then?

I’m at the point where I’ll just start sending stuff to SGC even though I know I’ll only get 50% of what I would for PSA. I can flip 5 cards in the time it will take to get 1 regular order back from PSA.

You might get lucky, I have a feeling my order is under the mountain of mail they received right before the price increase. I should have used fed ex. I have seen fed ex orders get entered the day after they arrive and be sent back like 4 days later, at least for super express. At this point I have been waiting so long I wish I would have just gone with normal express.

21 Card Economy Order
Delivered to PSA: August 19, 2020
Entered: September 17, 2020
Grading: October 12, 2020

Been in Grading ever since. Hope it moves soon. They have to be close as the Entered date is just about two weeks away from the CTD and its been stuck in Grading for 5.5 months!

2 weeks? If you're lucky!!

My Super Express order was checked as received by PSA on 3/10 and it still hasn't been entered for R & ID, so you're going to be waiting a minimum of 3 more weeks from today *just to have your order entered into the system.*

It is an absolute joke.

I had a super express order submitted on 3/1 overnight, and got there on 3/2. It was proccessed and got the card back in hand on 3/18. It was just 1 for super express. I had about 6-7 more orders in the overnight package, dont know if that had anything to do with it. Good Luck!

Mine is a 6 card sub that was entered into their system 10/16/20 and moved to grading 11/16/20 and stalled out. It was 6 Luka cards i hit an absolute home run on, and they all looked to my untrained eye to be maybe a 9? If i hit a 10 on one of them i'm going to be so happy. It's my first time sending something into psa so we'll see what they get graded. The wait is unbearable though, i pretty much expect to see "BREAKING NEWS: Luka Doncic tears both acl's" on a daily basis the way my luck goes. I just want them back so I can sell some of them before that happens lol

Super jealous that your subs moved to grading last year!! What's that like?!? I'm over here in Research like a hobo. Maybe they had to call in the experts to research my 2007 Topps Jeter (with mickey mantle and GW Bush in the background) lol.

Are we being punished for getting in on their cheapest grading level right before they jacked up all the tiers?!?

Its clear they got hit flat footed and were not nimble in adjusting their business model. They did a poor job of managing and we awarded them by sending more and more cards. They ran two back to back specials that absolutely hammered them with cards (MJ and 90s Basketball) and allowed group submitters to continue to use Economy long after they stopped the general population from doing it. On the PCSports cards thread I am pretty sure I read that they were submitting more cards at this level than bulk on a weekly basis (let that sink in). Either way you cut it, its going to be a long wait unfortunately.

PSA just expanded their facility apparently. They still need to hire workers.

I swear they just stopped working on Economy orders for about 5 months because I have one entered as of 9/22 still in grading. I had an Economy order entered a month before this one in August that was shipped back to me in October.

Alright guys, who else is sending cards in toploaders as opposed to card savers. Running down to my last 60-70 card savers and need another 800 for my next orders

yeah, the post office is really backed up. Best to use FedEx or UPS as they have less packages to go through at those offices.
