This is a snippet of MyOrders page:
Received 8/22 was delivered to me 11/16
Received 9/03 ... less than 2 weeks later ... no sign of movement whatsoever 3.5 months after the last delivery.
Am I to understand that 2 weeks cost me at LEAST 4 months?

I understand delays and such. It it what it is.... but this is pretty silly imo. (I know this isn't close to as bad as many... just thought I'd vent)
Wait... thats what you think is weird about yours? How about the order that apparently took 16 years to be logged....

I dropped cards off to PSA at a show last year the person accepting my submission said anything wrong with the order, # of cards listed vs amount in order, cards not listed in correct order ETC can cause major delays in Research and ID, not saying that is the case here, but little things can bottleneck and order along with the other major covid and demand delays.

Does anyone know how PSA assigns submissions to graders?

For example, I just submitted a regular order that has ultra modern, vintage, and TCG in it. Is that done by one grader? Seems like it may take more time to process that order because of the card mix.

Did PSA just stop Grading the economy submissions they already have? They have had my submission going on 7 months on a “20 Day” order. At this rate, might get my Ultra Modern Bulk that I sent in October before I see this economy order complete.

I was told my bulk order from last January took so long (9-1/2 months) because my order had to go different areas because I had some vintage baseball, vintage hockey, tcg, modern baseball, modern football, modern basketball.

Not sure what is true and what isn't when PSA says something, so take it for what it's worth.

I was told this as well. FWIW I was also told that when it goes from vintage to modern or sports cards to tcg, etc that it goes to the back of the new graders Q.

Thanks. This goes along with what I was thinking. Explains why FIFO doesn’t apply. Although I think there are probably other issues at play.

Training more graders to be competent at more eras and types of cards would help tremendously.

Love this thread, really helpful. Thanks to all!

Quick question - I'm about to send in about 25 Jordan's. Am I hearing that there is no point in paying Express vs Regular right now for Modern?

Thanks!

There might be a 2 week difference, so I’d go the cheaper $50/card route.

I feel your pain. I had a large express submission hit the same day and I'm in the same spot. I sent in cards for a friend and I think he is getting tired of the "no movement" answer I give him. Now he feels our pain!
