Nope and it gets worse. They called and said my order was in two boxes and they lost one of the boxes. The next day they called back and said they found of one of the cards.

When you are grading 1M cards per month, I am surprised it doesn’t happen more, or does it?

I am sorry man. I hope for your sake they were not super high end stuff. However, they should definitely have a locked right system whereby this never happens.

Regular order arrived today. About what I expected with one glaring exception.



1 1 71097172 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 2018 Topps 700 Shohei Ohtani Hand on Helmet Card
2 1 71097173 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 2020 Panini Donruss Elite 134 LaMelo Ball Status Card
3 1 71097174 MINT 9 2022 Topps Brooklyn Collection Autograph JP Jeremy Pena Red Card
4 1 71097175 MINT 9 2019 Bowman Draft Chrome 30th Anniversary Autographs Cja CJ Abrams Orange Refractor Card
5 1 71097176 MINT 9 2022 Topps 215 Raymond Series 2-Ultra SP Card
6 1 71097177 MINT 9 2022 Topps 300 Swinging Friar Series 2-Ultra SP Card
7 1 71097178 GEM MINT 10 2022 Topps Update 150 Screech Sssp Card
8 1 71097179 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 2022 Topps Update 200 Blooper Sssp Card
9 1 71097180 GEM MINT 10 2022 Topps Update 205 Fredbird Sssp Card
10 1 71097181 GEM MINT 10 2022 Topps Update 278 Orbit Sssp Card
11 1 71097182 GEM MINT 10 2022 Topps Update 288 Bernie Brewer Sssp Card
12 1 71097183 MINT 9 2022 Topps Update 288 Bernie Brewer Sssp Card


Shohei had corner issues, I was thinking 7, but 6 doesn't shock me. Still, needed it for the PC and wanted it in the slab regardless.
LaMelo had a print line on the back. I was thinking 8 and dreading 7. Pleased to get the 8, all things considered. (It's the 2/2... I also have the 1/2, which is a PSA 9.)
Pena and Abrams were both borderline 9/10 I thought - so I'm not upset with the fine 9s there either.

But Blooper? A 6? Really?

Oh well.

Movement on $15 bulk that I didn't ship til Jan. 10. Entered to Assembly in ~10 business days.

Feels good to be on the right check-out line at PSA. Hope those with much, much older bulk subs see some sign of life soon.

Anyone sent cards in under Regular with their estimated 10-day turnaround time? How close are they on that 10-day? I sent in two cards that were received on Friday and they haven't hit Order Prep yet. I'm not concerned, but I just wanted to get an idea on how long Regular typically takes.

Unless something has changed, the official clock doesn't start until the cards hit R&ID so your 10 day clock hasn't started yet.

Ah, well, in that case it just started. I received an email just a minute ago confirming my order. When I went to check it shows it's in R&ID right now. Thanks for the info.

Had my 113 15$ special arrived on 11/30 pop this weekend
about a 68% gem rate which was nice.
Here's the weird thing
I live in Burbank CA and sent the shipment to the normal place
here is Southern CA
The tracking states that my package is coming from NJ?
So did PSA ship my stuff to NJ to get graded? I know they have an east coast office now, I've just never had that happen.

It's possible. I've had one order sit in QA2 for just a few hours and a couple orders sit there over a week.

To preview your grades early (prior to popping starting at the assembly phase) you can always use the PSA registry "hack" .

This won't surprise anyone, but if you have small orders they go much faster through the system! Seven business days for Value Plus from when it was marked received to when grades posted.

Received per PSA: 1/23
Research & ID: 1/24

Grades Posted: 1/31

Happy with my result.

Unfortunately this no longer works. The loophole was fixed several months ago.
