It is now 2 stages backwards from earlier. It says assembly. I was in assembly, then grades ready, qa check last Friday, and now who knows. This just changed moments ago.

Earlier today my order went from assembly to grades ready, with the grades not showing under items below. I kept clicking throughout the day expecting the grades to show, but alas it moved back to assembly. PSA seems to have some bugs in their new order tracker.

Yes, this is a recent change.

Looks like another way for them to send cards to Goldin. People that get 10's on low pop cards might tend to just auction them off instead of shipping back. Everything is set up now to get the higher end cards directly to auction so PSA can grab another piece.

It is super gross. Maybe if I could vault and trade cards with a minimal fee, I would do that. I collect and don't want to a business to sell cards and buy more in the view of the IRS. Time for collectors universe to officially change their name to flippers universe.

Everybody has a vault system now. I understand big high dollar cards bring vaulted, even then I would not do it, but my excitement is having my cards in hand. I don’t play in the high-end market and when I do, it is PC which I want in hand.

Does the list disappear still with the updates? The app still shows the old method. I have a super express that has been in qa2 for days now. 2 other value orders in qa2 also.

Agree with this. What fun is it to have a card if you can't physically hold it and look at it. I guess for those who play flipping cards like the stock market, they really don't need to see it. They are just turning around and selling anyway.

I had a Barkley Star rookie in an order recently and it didn’t take any longer than any other order that I’ve sent in. I have a 1983 Star Kareem in an order right now as well.

True. Therefore, if you play the cards like it is a stock market and not a collectible, the downs will have you unwilling to sell cards at non-hype prices. Why else would people holding Zion and other high end cards that were pumped up, but production had brought the prices down. In the stock market, usually a company has a history and investments to make the investment worthwhile. In cards, if the player does not perform, there is no upside in the short flip game. I wonder how many Trey Lance investments will never get above water? Cowboys fans typically want their players in Cowboy uniforms and being in a SF uniform is even worse. Collect for the love of the hobby and invest with the understanding you might lose money. Many have forgotten that and no amount of vaulting will help a lack of production. If Kenny P dies not bounce back next week, a bloodbath is coming.

Imagine what will happen if Wemby is the bust many are predicting. ����

My 90's Special (45 cards, no Vault) has been in Research & ID for approx 40 business days. Arrived late June, checked in moved to R&ID July 19. PSA said "no issues" when I called. Anyone else still waiting on orders submitted mid-July? At this rate, gonna blow by the 65 business day turnaround. Pretty disappointing.

Yes, I have 4 orders currently sitting since end of June/Mid-July. I think there are many others in the same boat.

For those wondering about Value (or Value Plus) vs. other levels. PSA hired a bunch of people that sit all day doing Value ONLY. Meaning they should be faster since that's all they do.

The more senior graders get the Regular and above. Usually, they are high dollar cards or high end vintage with lots of fakes/trimmed cards floating around, they will take their time to examine.

Not too many fake Luke Prizm base floating around...or, at least I don't think so...

For me, I'm sending all my stuff value plus and let them just upcharge me if needed.
