Do they just charge you automatically, or do you have to authorize it? At what stage do they do that?

They actually send you a PDF of your grades, and the price increase per card (either $0 or the new fee), so you get this email prior to even seeing your grades pop...and they ask for you to approve the upcharge. Kinda neat I guess lol

My Bulk grade just popped. 63% gem rate compared to 84% last time. It definitely got tougher.

Yup, right at Q2. Maybe even at shipping before you get a tracking # and before you get grades

in terms of upcharge, what service did you use? and the value was a big different as in say if you did economy $499 submission, were the uncharged cards like in the 500+ or 1000+ in psa 10?

That sucks.
Did you feel they were 10's?
If so, this population control is getting out of control. Im really scared to see how mine does when it pops.

Can you clarify this? The total cards adds to more than 129 (44+42+3+25+40) & I don't think PSA doesn't give out .5's, so what do you mean?

Looks like PSA logged both my Collector's Club orders today, but they listed the 2 card order as CC Free and the 6 card order as Economy. I guess they're both technically economy level, so it doesn't matter?

I hit the wrong button. I meant 15 cards. PSA does give out 8.5's

I thought that had a shot at 10s. I don't think pop control was an issue. Two had never been graded before, and the third had a low pop (only 1 previously graded with no 10).

My December 2nd bullk is sitting in QA2 - but PSA told me it was only at day 100 yesterday, so a big discrepancy in your 116 to where they think it is.

Have to account for Christmas, New Years, MLK, and all the days they were closed. Sad - I know.

Yesterday from PSA:
"Your order######### was entered into the system on 12/2 which places it on day 100 of the submission process. Bulk submission turnaround is an estimated 100+ days.

But what was the day tracker in December when you submitted it?

My spreadsheet could be wrong. I have it set up to automatically calculate business days. I don't think there would be 15 holidays in there. I could go through and actually count, but it doesn't matter honestly. They will take their time regardless.

I had a Regular order that was received today (5/29) by PSA and is already in grading stage (same day). My Economy order that was received on 4/24/20 also went to Grading stage today.
