The package is in the building, but I don't think they've opened it.


This happens to be a crossover, but I don't think they would take longer to enter it. But I do think it may take longer to be completed than a typical Express order with raw cards. Time will tell.

Since this post on 4/22, it went to Research & ID on 4/23 and Grading on 4/26. Nice to see some movement, as if PSA heard me

Still nothing. Not even entered. It's my first submission to PSA. Definitely frustrating since it seems like nearly all other service levels are moving faster.

Finally got one Express order arrived on 3/27/21, checked in today 4/29/21. However, my two Express orders arrived on 3/10/21 still not checked in, go figure!

Mine that arrived on March 16th has not been checked in either.

3/8, no check in!

[redgem]

Just got an email from PsA saying they are checking in Express and Regular orders arrived MARCH 6th right now so hoping mine check in next week or so. All the Super Express orders coming in since April 1st are ‘jumping’ the line.��

Time to shut down super express!

3/11 still marked as arrived only.

Same here 3/11 - Arrived

Wow things has really escalated in Feb and March.
No wonder PSA stopped most its services before April.

I had 3 orders (Super Express/Express/Regular) back in February.
Arrive Feb 10th, Entered 2/12, 2/24, 2/24 respectively.
Shipped 2/17, 4/09, 4/19 respectively.

Guess things are a lot different at PSA now. (sob)

Moving pretty quick once they get entered. But its only 2 cards. Express was shut down on April 1st, so hopefully the Express orders that were submitted in March begin to move quicker. My personal thoughts are that alot of cards are being submitted since April 1st (Prizm and Select) at the $300 level and jumping in front of the Express orders from March. But alot of these cards are only getting '9s' so its actually a losing proposition at best or maybe just a wash for the submitter. That could slow down the pace of Super Express submissions going forward.

I think PSA will keep Value level suspended indefinitely until they can work through their backlog. Express and Regular may return at $100 and $150 July 1st as they will be caught up on those levels by then.

My latest Express sent right before the price hikes.
3/10 Arrived
4/30 Received
5/3 Grading

[defpotec]

My three-card express order was finally entered today. Now in research and ID. It was delivered on March but wasn’t marked arrived until March 15.

I had a four-card regular order in the same package. That one hasn’t been entered yet.

[IndySportsCards]

I have two express orders I've sent in since my first one on 3/5 that are already in the grading status, the initial order isn't even checked in yet, but shows received.

The fact that they grade out of order, first in, first out means nothing to them. Clearly.

I haven't seen any movement on my Express from 3/10, but you guys are starting to give me hope, it is only 1 card.

[The_Reverend]

Both my super express are on the way back. Took all of 7 days for a 1 card and 6 days for 4 cards.

[Cardboardalstar]

my express order was received 2/19 entered 3/19 and has been sitting in QA 2 for nearly a week (I think tomorrow is a week). it got through QA 1 in a day... at this point I almost feel like they are taunting me.

What do they even do in QA 2?

[TheTCGenius]

Looks like they are finally getting through the express orders that showed up the first week of March. it was weird cause i had all my bulk orders entered into the system 2.5 weeks ago. The influx of regular+ orders must have been enormous

How were grades compared to expectations?

I read an article on VICE yesterday that was talking about Pokemon cards and their impact. Maybe it's been mentioned before somewhere, but a lot of people are sending in Pokemon. So while we're worried about sports? Magic, Pokemon, etc.... are also flooding the major grading companies.

[DiamondDonovan]

Got my grades back last night on my Express order after being in QA1/2 for almost 2 weeks! Order arrived on 2/5/21.

Ironically, I also submitted a Regular service order within the same package but got those cards back already last week.

[D0rkz]

Arrived via UPS on 3/10. Zero movement. Just 1 card too.

It's getting down to what time of day on the 10th did yours arrive, mine showed arrived at 945am lol

ps: i dont know what time mine did arrive... but have a seen a few people with arrival date of the 3/18 and 3/19 already moving along well past ours, which is complete BS

I feel your pain. Sent a small 2 card express order with a 129 card value order in the same box. Both marked as arrived on 3/15 but the Value order was entered on 4/26 and the Express order still hasn't been entered. Should I be worried since they were in the same box???

3/11 arrival just moved to Research this morning then grading this afternoon. One card order
