How's almost 2 months to 'arrived' acceptable? That's crazy.. and why I stopped subbing to PSA. That makes zero sense.. this isn't covid.

I'm wondering it there's something going on with the tracking vs. there actually being no movement. I also have a 12/21 order and it's been frozen in Grading for a few days. Other orders i have haven't updated from even being shipped out of GS.

Interesting... if i use your example then I should see action tomorrow. Identical RI day (thursday) and tomorrow would be the same amount of time that your status changed.

Grades popped yesterday.

4 - PSA 10
4 - PSA 9
2 - PSA 8

One of the bigger cards grabbed a 10. But the biggest card in the bunch, got a 9. It is like a $1k difference between a 9 and a 10.

I've found it best to minimize expectations.. tremendously, and that'll help.

My first 'experimental' order of 10 cards from GameStop was a disaster, but that came from New Jersey. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I think it's difficult because I've had multiple grading orders all come back in 2 months flat... and this is my first one where it's dragged on 3+ months.

Mine was almost identical to this movement. Subbed on Dec 17 and picked up today, March 24. It went from grading to shipped all in a week. Unfortunately it went to NJ and there were definitely some things under graded and only 1 over graded. (IMHO of course.) 9’s everywhere!

Order from Nov. 29th has had grades completed for almost 2 weeks still no sign of it at Gamestop. THey sent my last order to the wrong store, since original store closed. Who knows what will happen with this one or where its at right now.

Yea and if you email or call them you will get a call center in India where I wasn't able to hear or understand the person. If you contact them via email they will tell you its within the 75 business days or whatever and to wait. Then once its after 75 business days they will still do nothing. Never again.

I've been calling my local(ish) Gamestop every week for an update.

Today I got "yea they sent a bunch of orders to the wrong store, so on Monday they are being brought here, your order MAY be in there"
