I've been out of the grading game for a bit. Do you now know the grades before QA checks?

Yes, looks that way based on the sequence in the tracker.

During Assembly, you'll eventually got an email saying grades are available, and the status should show "Completing". In the app, it looks like this for mine that popped yesterday (I can see grades, the images are up showing cards in slabs)



Steps show like this in the app for that order of mine that just finished



Same order viewed on the website under My Orders shows as "Complete" in green.

Third order popped. Two sent on 1/29 and finished today 2/28. Got hammered on this one too. 6/18 10s in one, 14/34 in another and pretty much rest 9s.

No distinguishable difference between the cards. Went from a 60-70% gem rate on the previous orders to 30% on these last few. Most of it is the same kinds of cards and my process hasn't changed for screening ��#@♂️ Not sure what's up with this.

I wonder if we can start putting notes on the order forms that have to be included in the package. "For Santa Ana only. Please do not send to New Jersey". LOL

My 23 card submission hit stage 8 on Monday. How long before I see a tracking number or they show up at my door?

I was wondering if there is any difference. I'm guessing PSA didn't send some old school/long time employees across the country to teach people how to grade cards, so My personal opinion is "NJ might be more harsh"

But curious what people think of this.

I live in Long Beach, CA so I don't think I'll ever get NJ guys looking at my stuff....

My last modern special came back from NJ i got a lower gem rate than i expected with a few questionable that i might crack and send in another special.
but it wasnt horrible.

Waiting to see where my 1950s order they obliterated me on ships from.

Yes one of my January orders came from NJ. I live in Central California and sent my sub to Santa Ana. Grades definitely seemed a little harsh on that particular order also.

For those January orders, was the makeup of the one that came back from NJ different than the other orders that shipped out of Santa Ana?

I have not seen a reholder update in months here. Any pending out there, or time estimates?

Still waiting for them to enter the photo I sent to the New Jersey office to get authenticated. They received my package 10 days ago.

Buddy had a sub come back from CA that was absolutely brutal. I had TCG from NJ that was pretty good.

I had a TCG (all 2023) order pop this week coming from New Jersey. Sent in what I thought were only 10's, maybe two borderline 9/10. Only 11/25 gem rate.

Starting to get jealous of everybody that has orders flying. My modern special that arrived on 1/26 has just been sitting in research since 2/2.

Also pretty annoyed that I got a value sub back this week with an incorrect label even though I submitted with the correct label, flagged it for them twice after they changed it incorrectly twice and was reassured by them that they had fixed it.

Despite all the progress they’ve made since COVID it’s still evident they have a lot of process improvements needed.
