I think between Stroud and Purdy, I have submitted over 10 cards between two orders and all come back at 9.

Ive noticed from various subs that they tend to be SUPER tough on 2023 donruss. Ive seen people send in 50 at a time and get 2-3 10s.

I have an order that is in the assembly stage and just got and email from PSA saying they are waiting to receive the order. Has anyone had this happen?

50 card baseball special from 2/20 popped a couple days ago. Shipped from Santa Ana. 45/50 gem. One oops 5.

[trouts2]

Anyone have an order being stuck in completing way past the original due date? I have a walkthrough order that has been in completing for about 7 business days

Was it a rare card?
I had a similar thing happen several months ago. I subbed about 6 Pretty Rare cards and it went over a week past the Turnaround Time ETA. I spoke to them a couple times and they said it was 'to do more research.'

[bigunitcards]

is there any reason to do Value Plus over Value right now?

I had two $19 bulk orders both move to blue check assembly on 2/27. One popped the next day on 2/28, the other one is still sitting in blue check assembly 3 weeks later. I'm dreading downgrades or the "Sorry, but we damaged your card(s)" email.

For the one that did pop - it's came back from California. 30 card sub, was expecting around 50% gem rate and got 18/30 gems.

I just saw one my orders is "Problem order: Order is currently on hold, a PSA representative will be in contact with you." What does that typically mean? I had two previously graded Topps cards that only had the auto authenticated/graded and not the card. I sent both in to get the card and auto graded and thought I selected the right service. I did crossover and dual grading for the service. Thoughts?

I had that happen to me two months ago in January. For me, PSA damaged one of my cards in a $19 bulk order and they reached out to see if I wanted to keep the damaged card encapsulated or returned raw, plus notifying me the grading fee would be refunded. I'm not sure if that will be the case with you, but the email came within less than a week from the Problem Order status.

The oddities of PSA continue! I have 5 orders there right now. Three of them, including the Vintage Special weren't even into R/I for 10 days. Now, the Vintage went from R/I to Grading in less than 12 hours. Then, the 4th Bulk order has been in R/I for 2 weeks and the final Bulk order has been Grading for 10 days. Since PSA re-opened fully, I've never had orders move this slowly.

I had a TCG special that arrived on Feb 15th and completed today. It was from the NJ office and I went 55/57 gems.

I have a regular order that arrived March 11th that is sitting on the complete step and should finish any minute now.

Both orders look to be about 3 weeks earlier than the estimated completion time.

[jjo1776]

My PSA order popped 55% gem rate…. Some questionable grades will be cracking some and resubmitting

Several of us are in the same boat as you are and then we can see how other orders move swiftly from start to finish. I have several modern orders that have been sitting in assembly for 5+ weeks, however had two other orders that were received at a much later date fly through and complete.

I have a current 2 card order that has been sitting in the completed (shipping stage) for 7 business days. PSA's process will never make sense.
