Default Update

They've known my grades on the SMALLER order for 6 weeks. I don't care if they keep my cards for the full 65 days but at least give me the option to know grades when they do. Should be easy. Basic communication.

There was a discord server where you could peak at that info but PSA patched up that vulnerability. So, we know it's possible and probably really easy but they have their 'reasons or whatever.

Last of the baseball bulks got graded. 13/20 gems, not terrible, not spectacular.

All orders were graded before the "due date,", TBD if they all ship before then.

The four baseball orders averaged 20 days in QC, ranging from 18-24, estimate they were between 13-17 business days.

42/80 gems on the four baseball orders. Not dreadful, far from great, especially with the long turnaround time

That's a pretty fast check in/move to grading considering how others have been experiencing 3-4 weeks recently.

My grades just popped on a 114 cards modern order. 21 10’s, that is by far the lowest percentage I’ve ever received. The 10’s came on relatively low value cards as well, anything nicer got completely smacked. I inspected every card before submitting and can’t believe how badly this went for a $2,500 order.

I'm sitting at almost 4 weeks at "Order Arrived" for a 25 business day Value Plus order.

Fun times.

Thanks. Results were pretty in line with what i expected with the exception of the now obligatory NM 7.

I'm assuming my quicker turnaround is because my submission was a bunch of straightforward 90's football and basketball rookies. Nothing exotic.

I had an order pop a few days ago and received shipping confirmation on that order this morning. I just got a FedEx message that it would be delivered tomorrow. I was curious because it has always taken 3 days from California or 2 days from NJ to deliver to Florida. It shows as picked up in Boca Raton!!! How long has PSA been grading in Boca Del Vista?

Not complaining here as 1 day delivery might finally be worth what they charge on shipping.

Good to hear that early orders from Boca Raton are grading to expectation. You never know with a new site, though it sounds like they're probably borrowing some experienced graders from SGC.

Mine was a bit below expectation with 4 10’s and 9 9’s in my 13 card order. I was very picky with these cards, only sending the best out of a stack of a couple hundred that I had built up. My worst sub in quite some time actually. I am convinced that Boca Ratonians do not know how to grade 2024 Contenders football autos. 9’s all the way down the board on all 6 of those.
