Gave GS a shot after reading a couple months of promising posts here. As usual, I got in exactly at the shift into nightmare turnaround times. 100% would not do it again if I'm looking at a 5+ month wait. Nothing time sensitive but just not worth the trouble tying up cards that long.

Nice! My order that was dropped off on December 9th just hit R&ID yesterday!

My other two, dropped off later in December, are still in 'Arrived' status.

Hopefully yours gets some traction!

Last week. It’s moved a step per day since. Once they hit grading they do move fast.

My first order with GameStop just hit QA. When I goes to ‘graded’ will the grades pop on the website or do I have to wait until I pickup the cards?

You will get an email letting you know your grades are ready, and when you go to the order details page on GameStop, there will be a link to look at the grades if you want to.

Unfortunately I think I may have jumped on the Gamestop x PSA grading train a little too late. Seems the 2 month turnaround time no longer exists. With prices increased to me it looks like there's not benefit to doing Gamestop anymore. Hopefully my orders are processed soon.

I think we, as a whole, need to pump the breaks personally. A lot of recent submissions also overlapped with the holiday season which should add a minimum of 2 weeks. AFAIK, the price is still cheaper than going through PSA directly + PSA membership (given the number of cards i submit).

First GameStop order popped today. Happy overall, but I really need to take a look at the Dale Murphy and one Ohtani card to see what happened. Really excited about the two Ginter 1/1s at the bottom! Given this was all over the holidays I really can’t complain and is all around easier than submitting myself. As others noted once cards moved into grading things went pretty quick.

It was OK, about 50% gems, the bigger cards gemmed so that was good. Got one $75 upcharge.

Congrats!

I can't wait to see what happens with my second order. Part of the order was Marvel and 1 Pokemon, they categorized those all as TCG.
