I love PSA, but I'd love them even more if QA checks only took a few days max. Especially on a single card.

I think I have one that has been in assembly for about a month. It's estimated by April 16, so I'm guessing it'll go into QA at the beginning of April.

How long is PSA taking to ship cards once they hit the pop report? Does anyone have a recent order?

Four orders in Assembly, the longest for about a month that has an ETA of 3/24. No rush. I just prefer they don't all pop at once. Won't get rich from any of them but should be enough there to permanently wipe out a couple bills.

I had a submission siting in assembly for 14 days. Now it says “problem order”. The PSA website say that it may need price adjustments. Is this how they do up charges? Ive never had one.

Value plus - 6 cards

Shipped to PSA 1/9
Received back from PSA 3/19

5 - 9s
1 - 8

Somehow I continue to get more picky with the cards I send it and get worse and worse grades. Was at a 63% gem rate in 2020 and now I’m under 20% on ultra modern.

Plan to start cracking and resubbing some cards with documentation to see PSA’s consistency with the same cards

Does anybody knows how long it takes for PSA to ship graded cards to the Vault and listed in your account? I have a card it was sent on March 6 and until now it still says on its way.

My value bulk sub I paired with my walkthrough is now 2 steps ahead of my other value bulk sub I dropped off at the Philly card show 2 months earlier.
My Philly sub contains both sports and Magic cards....do you think that could a reason it's lagging behind?

Hey all,
Submitted at Value level at an in person drop off at DA in NYC on February 1st.
Zero updates and still just registering at order arrived.
Am getting kind of concerned- any one else experience something similar?
