Grades popped late last night. Not sure how my submission went through the entire process in under a month after delivery based on others. Thankful for that.

Also happy with grades - I was expecting five 9s so seems in line. The 8 threw me for a loop though. Hit on the big ones I needed.

Day 42 in Green Checkmark Assembly. In doing some research it seems that Ohtani collectors I’ve talked to seem to think that PSA is holding orders that have Ohtani cards ,that could be on the fringe of an up charge, until they can assess their value? Has anyone else noticed this? About half my order is Ohtani cards that would fit this description. It’s frustrating to see so many other orders grades popping after only a few days of being in Assembly.

Not sure I buy that... But I'll admit... my order is half ohtani...

[Ajbasbal]

Yeah, The two collectors I talked to said that their orders sat in assembly for around the same amount of time and they were sent up-charge emails.

What a deal! You have to wait to get your cards back so PSA can charge you more.

Did grades become ready for you early in the morning or just a bit ago?

Mine arrived in assembly on the 22nd as well and has the same estimated completion. Hoping it'll follow your submission to the finish line.

It popped sometime between when I checked after getting up early this morning and lunch. I'm guessing earlier in the morning since it QA'd and shipped by the time I checked.

More than three weeks from received per PSA to R&D for all my bulk orders. Only one that isn't in R&D yet was returned to me because the packaging was damaged (no cards damaged, thankfully), so that was resent back and logged later.

Interestingly enough, grades just popped. 10 cards were mine (9 Ohtanis) and the results are below. In true fashion, the one that graded a 5 was, in my opinion, one of the best I submitted. The scan, from what I can tell, shows absolutely no damage, but I guess I’ll see when I get it. Guessing it was damaged during assembly

10’s- 8
9’s- 1
5’s- 1

I also just noticed that when I went to save the photos from PSA of each card, they were saved in my Camera Roll for October 10th. That would mean that these photos were taken on October 10, a day after grading. Which means they’ve had these grades ready a month and a half before they actually popped?

If that's really the case, that's on PSA then cause the faster they push the orders out to finished the faster they get paid. Sucks as customers though that we have to wait so long if the grades are in fact already done and scanned and sitting in the Assembly stage for so long.

The ones I downloaded from the website show up in my camera roll as March 7th… which is not even within the timeframe my cards were there.

I’ve been in assembly for about a week. Website has green checkmark but app has blue time clock. Any idea what these mean?

I'm in the exact same boat. I guess it means we're screwed. 😂

Been waiting to start my 1 year collector's club membership again since it expired a few months ago ... About to buy it now since it's 30% off until 12/2 (so $111 total). Question is have they been doing this 30% off thing every month & I just didn't notice it? Or is it really a rare discount?

If it's every month, I would wait. If it's not I'll prob buy it now. Thanks

They say it's for new subscribers only? So renewals of expired membership may not qualify for that 30% discount.

Not sure if this is just a glitch on the order page or not, but I see that the estimated completed dates are now all gone. Makes sense as I have two orders that had an estimated completion day of 12/5 that have been rotting in assembly for the last two months. I know those dates were always estimated but still gave someone something to look forward to.

Mine are still there. As you said, probably a little glitch.

Thanks, I do see they are back again. Still not going to hold my breath but that's good they are back.
