It was one of the most amazing marketing campaigns in the grading sector. SGC has always had that black insert, even before they went to the standard grading scale. I remember because I have some of their slabs from back then. The same reason many did not like them then is the same reason many who have been in the hobby before 2020 don’t like them now!

Noticing a slight difference in status between the app and the website.

For a few orders, website shows a green check mark for Assembly stage but not progressed beyond that. In the app for those same orders, still says in-progress for Assembly.

Another order I have, both say in-progress for Assembly in the app and website.

I noticed the same thing for my order. The app still has the blue clock symbol next to assembly, but the website shows a green check mark with no progress beyond that stage. Been that way since Friday, so it seems especially odd. I could understand a slight delay between the app and website, maybe an hour or so. But three days? Just plain weird if you ask me.

My first order completed since the app and site change took place. It looks like they got rid of the grade reveal thing where you swipe to show what each card got. I actually really liked the feature.

Mine has been that way for 3 weeks. 2 cards in assembly for 3 weeks.

Wow, that’s unfortunate! If you don’t mind me asking, what level did you submit at?

I had 3 in grading and 2 went into assembly today, but not the one that went into grading on 7/13 PSA has no system for moving cards through their process. No longer having QA1/2 just lets cards linger in grading longer. Today was day 51 in grading, business days and minus any holidays.

Did they damage something, or what else could this be for?

Edit: Right after I posted this, I received an email from them. I'm getting upcharged for something.
I heard that's a good 'problem' to have! Any idea what card it was?

My second upcharge, and yeah they are definitely a good thing as far as I'm concerned! The card in my current order is a Barry Sanders 1989 Score PSA10. Bought it for $40 raw.

lower the pricing, the system is going to get all clogged up with junk cards being graded (just going to create more plastic in the landfills in five years when people toss this junk out). PSA should move the pricing back up to get rid of this trash being sent in.

You can mix tcg with sports for value bulk.
