Prizm Doncic, Trae, Zion, Morant and then various Mahomes cards. Mostly all newer - 2017 to 2019.

Yes, that's right. Tread lightly these day my friends, pop control in full effect now.


Sounds like they “flagged” your order alright.

Don't be nervous. Prizms are the main candidate for getting hit heavy.

I'm not a rookie, I know how this works. I simply meant it gave me hope that there's a POSSIBILITY my box could soon be placed in the anointed pile.

Sorry man wasn’t trying to offend you. We are all frustrated. Especially seeing bulk from February/March shipping and others having December/ January still sitting around collecting dust.

I wonder how many graders they employ. It seems like they should be doing massive hiring/training given their backlog and amount of demand in PSA graded cards.

Customer service today told me that not all of their graders are working, so they’re not at full capacity.

No worries and no offense taken. It's certainly frustrating. I've sent orders in at the same time at same rate and had them come back two months apart. First in first out would be nice. Sometimes I get lucky with the lottery and get a speedy order, sometimes it's not so lucky. This one will be rough, if there's any order I've ever sent that I'd like to hit the speed lottery on, it's this order. I just need to know what I can sacrifice to appease the PSA gods.

Default First Sub - UPDATE

This is my first PSA sub!
-------------
Two orders in same box marked "Economy" - I'm hoping the economy order expedites the promo order since they are in the same box. If it does, perhaps next time, Ill buy a single card at an even higher level of service. --
UPDATE - two services in the same box did NOT expedite the second order.
------------
ORDER #1
Order Type: Economy - 45 Business Days
# of cards: 15 (voucher)
Order received per USPS: June 8, 2020 at 6:53 am
Order received per PSA: July 2, 2020
UPDATE >> 23 business days (almost 4 weeks) to enter into Order system
Order popped: (Guessing October)
------------
ORDER #2
Order Type: Quarterly Special - Grade The Goat - time "Varies with Demand"
# of cards: 283
Order received per USPS: June 8, 2020 at 6:53 am
Order received per PSA:
UPDATE - still not in system even though in same box
Order popped: (Guessing December)
------------

I know, so crazy. It’s a collectors club order so maybe that had something to do with it? Also I forgot to write service level on the box haha

Sent a one card express order Thursday(?), and realized I didn't write express on the box, because apparently I'm an idiot.

Opinions on whether or not a mail intercept and return to sender would be advised, and then reship to PSA?

I'm thinking yes, because I really don't want my express order sitting there for a month before it's looked at. Emailed PSA last night, but obviously won't here from them until at least Monday, if not later, at which point it might be too late for a return to sender


Edit: Apparently it already got delivered today, sooooo that makes the choice null and void. Now I just have to hope they actually open the package. I've got a bulk order I sent back on 6/3 that presumably hasn't been opened since it hasn't been put into the system yet. Blah on all accounts
