I have a card that is borderline Super Express/Walk Through and have seen time frames posted on submission timelines for super express and see it takes about 10-12 days currently door to door. I can’t seem to find anyone post a time line on Walk Through. I’m pretty sure I’ll be up charged so was wondering how much quicker Walk through is? Thanks in advance!!

Nice. I'm in the same exact situation with a borderline card, but figured I would just go with the Super Express in the event it ends up being a PSA 9 then I won't be overcharged for excess shipping insurance. Of course I'm more than happy paying the upcharge fee. I'm not sure how fast walkthrough is currently, but my Super Express is moving quickly. See details below.

This hit all in one day. It’s only one card but it’s moving quick it seems. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like FIFO is a thing. Still waiting on my express order that was delivered on 3/25 to be received by them.

wouldn’t be surprised if psa employees saw the post here. 2 hours after it was posted it was shut down?

That's what I thought too, but it seemed it was just the registry server was having issues for about 10-15 mins then it came back up.

I sent an Express, Regular and Value Modern together.

Express is in grading. Just got an email that Value Modern is in research but nothing on the regular. Weird right?

Weird if we haven’t seen this happen a few hundred times by now. Not weird.

Assuming this is accurate, a couple of my "what ifs" had a grade of...11...one higher than gem mint...I assume that is to avoid db entry errors of 10 vs 01

On the plus side, I did manage to get it in before the price hike, printed out all the forms the night before.

9 of 15 graded GEM MINT, the rest graded MINT. Very happy with the results. One of the rare occurrence where I'm happy to be charged more then what was the original service fee.

I’m shaking — just got my first order back from PSA. 8/10 Gem rate on a regular order. The 2 that didn’t Gem were 9s and PC Cards. Such a relief. So excited for next batch.
