Hopefully yours follows the same path as mine where it was extremely slow through the first few stages but then quick on the back end. My current vintage submission sat in "Received" for 2.5 weeks and then Research & ID for another 2.5 weeks but then were done and shipped within 2 weeks after that.

I have a order sitting in research & ID since Sep 3rd..my advice don't use group subs for bulk. they are getting back trunk treatment, seems like the main priority for them
now are direct/gamestop/comc auction users..these other cardshop owners/breakers are getting back burner

That wouldn't be too bad man. The PSA website says 'Order Arrived' November 18, 2024. My last order took about 3 months total, so I am hoping it's along those lines.. worse case. Mine was the recent Vintage Special (1950-1979) and I had 60 cards ready to go (I split them).
I hope I also get an Upcharge email!

Still no movement, greatly frustrated seeing bulk orders sent after mine being completed and no movement on my order. The 50 business day piece is a joke when it’s based on the date they decide to check it in - as of December 5th I was told my order was “only on day 15, be patient.” Delivered 10/25/24 target 1/27/25.

I’ve canceled my PSA resubscribe and just going to go with a bulk submitter who generally has cards back within 45 physical days because of their volume. It may cost me $1-$2 more per card, but I think it’s worth it.

I just noticed my most recent order was picked up by FEDEX in NJ, not CA. They must be sending orders to different offices to keep up.

Looking forward to getting this one back. Almost entirely for resale and most stuff will auction well without the need to wait out BINs. It will pay for several additional 100+ card subs.

It's a Lamar Jackson National Treasures midnight RPA /20.

Didn't even get a 10, it got a 9.

I was actually expecting an 8 so I tried to sneak it by at the super express level (max $5000 declared value).

It didn't sneak by and got upcharged to the walk through level (max 10k).

These grading companies pay their intake and verification teams about what a 16 year old could make at McDonald's with zero work experience. They have a hard time retaining staff and an even harder time finding staff with card knowledge

Had 2 orders finish. One did great was mostly lately 90's and mid 00's. The other one was more 80's and early 90's and got hammered on that one but overall not too bad.

I do have a question though. A couple of months ago someone did an interview with PSA that said they were going to cut the inner sleeve to match that of the die-cut shape of the card and showed an example. Looked really nice. However none of the die-cut cards that are slabbed have this feature. Anyone else that got their cards back recently with die-cuts have this feature? I can find the video if no one knows what I am referring to.
