Has to be a much smaller group of graders they let grade/authenticate autos.

You don't need to use dual service for pack pulled autos...I assume there's some advantage to doing so though?

Anyway I messaged Nat on IG about this issue and to his credit he responded very quickly...here's what he said:

I've got an Economy Dual order for 1 card with just the Auto grade. Been sitting in research and ID now since 5/3... Seems like it would be easy enough to knock out these cards in a timely manner. Kind of regretting not just spending the extra money on express at this point if I had known it would take up to 4 months like some are saying.

Moved to QA1 today! When will I know if there are up charges? Also, do I need to be careful to avoid spoiling the grades? Will they email what the grades are? Brother and I want to be surprised when opening. This is our first submission.

No. They will email you that grades are available but you have to go look to see them.

Any insight on when I can expect grades to pop on an order that was accepted 4/27/21. It was a Value Modern 13 card submission.

Another month, probably 2 if I had to guess

Economy TCG finally in assembly. Used the "What If" trick to get an early peak at grades, however, some of the cards don't show up (even though they're in the same set). I get the following error: "Cert # does not upgrade any of your sets."

Anyone know what this means? I doubt it's an up-charge as a PSA 10 for these wouldn't exceed the max declared value amount. No cards are duplicates so that rules out two grades canceling another out.

3/29/2021 Pokémon order popped yesterday. I have three remaining orders that are probably a month or more out as they fell into the avalanche.

The backlog is down to about 16 weeks remaining and PSA won't want to run out of material for all the graders. Have a good feeling we will see lower prices at some point this summer.

Have an order that payment was charged yesterday, but still in QA2.

I have always thought charges do not go through until complete?

Usually that is the case. All my orders to date including one on 5/16/22, I've received a credit card charge alert by email from my credit card company and then shortly after that, an email from PSA saying the order is complete and grades ready to be viewed.

The other possibility is you already have a copy of that card listed in that set and the grade isn't any higher than what you already have. You need to remove any certs from your set before checking.

That is how it went for every submission I have ever had. It's strange that the charge went through days ago and order is still in QA2 today. I'm wondering if it's actually shipped and just never updated.

At what step in the process do they pop in the pop report? I’m in a group sub and just saw one of my cards popped, so they should be shipping soon I assume back from PSA?
