Phase 2: Remove lottery keep same price
Phase 3: Lower price

We haven't seen Phase 3 yet in this new era, but we will for certain tiers in the future.
Bulk with new label CSG is $12. I am watching how the hobby will accept them from an ROI position. All I need them to get is close to SGC and I am good. PSA is the king currently, but I will not send them 50 cards @ $50 per. I want to see if Nate lives up to his word! He said they want to be back down to $10. I can wait! I am not a pure flipper so I am good.

It really doesn't matter... no matter what PSA does (and doesn't do), there will be continued complaining.

I'm still waiting on $12 & $15 level bulk subs from last year... Bring on that $25 per, $499 MV lottery!!!

Oh just USPS express delivery. Express can be delivered in 1 business day (essentially overnight) if it gets to the local post office by a certain time. I busted a** reviewing ~250-300 cards I just got in to see what could make the cut. But, at least they are in the queue and on their way.

Arrived - 3/05/21
Entered - 4/19/21
Did not write down the other steps, but have been at graded for a long, long time!
Assembly - 4/23/22
QA1 - 5/10/22

If anyone is interested in 1988 Fleer off-centered Pippen rookies let me know. I slabbed some nonsense in this order. Still net positive though and have a few nice cards in there.

Same.

My order is about the same timeline as yours. But one card will more than pay for the order. The rest... well - let's say I made some questionable sub choices mid-pandemic.

All open orders. It does feel like things have slowed down, which surprises me that Economy opened up. They are beating the 90 day estimate by a lot, but what used to be a consistent 4 week turnaround time and ~2-7 days research --> grading period is now looking like 6 week turnaround time and minimum 12-16 days research --> grading period. Unsure how that will affect time to assembly --> qa1 --> qa2

Dual service is just not prioritized at all. After sending in all that I have, won't be using that service. Most recent order had decent candidates for dual service but 90+ day wait times are not worth it. Oldest order, my very first 5 card economy allocation, still hasn't left research which is just nutty.

One of my orders that went into grading today had a serial number starting with 649. That's a substantial jump since my last one.

PSA must have gotten a ton of orders in the past 1-2 weeks. All couldn't have been economy. Had to be, (speculating), a big submitter backdooring stuff in. That's quite the serial number boost from the 641-644 numbers I've been seeing. Maybe not.

FWIW they aren't running sequentially. I've had March orders with 642xxxx., and April orders with 641xxxx.

Finally got my images in from my economy order entered on 4/8/22. Grades popped on 5/10. Pretty happy with the Grant Hill considering it was pack pulled by my teenage hands, survived multiple moves, and sometimes stored in not so great indoor environments.

Yeah I posted about this a few pages back. The math doesn't work to keep the 90 day turnarounds if its all Economy without sacrificing the majority of the effort on the backlog. They graded 826k in April per Gem Rate and the certs between orders Entered about a month apart on my orders almost jumped 700k. I went from 642xxxxx on an order Entered in late March to 649xxxxxx on an order Entered in late April. I doubt they decided to just skip 500k certs for no reason.

Did a regular sub.
Date received: 4/22/2022
Date shipped: 5/12/2022

Did pretty good
14 total cards
9x gem mint 10’s
3x mint 9’s
2x 8’s

Both 8’s were from the mid 80’s and I thought they could have been 9’s or better. Back in the day PSA probably would have given them 9’s but it’s ok. Still pretty happy overall.
