Running PSA Order Tracker

Is QA2 moving quicker now? I think my last experience was that it took about a week or two in QA2 because of the scanning.

Haven't seen you here in a while...welcome back! IF anything, everything including QA2 is slower than a month ago. I think part of the process time will be from what orders are ahead of yours in the line. If a bunch of the orders ahead of yours are smaller ones, then moving through the whole process including QA2 will be at a decent pace. But if you've got several or even one 300-500 card order ahead of you QA2, it's going to be (and feel like) you're stuck in QA2 forever. For those in group subs, think that is most likely the case, that they are in orders with a larger number of cards which slows the whole process time even more. The scanning has added more time to the entire process (I read that they are scanning every single card now).

Thanks! I was just curious because I have 3 orders in QA2 now, 1 a bulk order, 1 an express order with 12ish cards, and 1 a regular order with 70ish cards. It should be interesting to see which one pops first.

I wonder if there are different "lines" at the QA2 stage depending on which service levels...or if they're all lumped together. It should be interesting to see which pops first if they all hit QA2 on the same day...please report back!

Nobody in their right mind would pay $150 per to get most of these graded, so I guess that (barring some explanation I haven't considered) 'value grading' isn't really closed at all if you know the right people.

I noticed this. Also saw some certs with 620 which could be regular subs from around shutdown time. All cards nobody should have been submitting at $50/card.

Really really stupid people submitting cards in 2021/2022

Over a year, grades just in. On PSA cert. verification you type in #, shows info and population. Looking up a 2013 Curry card, shows info, but complete blank as to all population figures. Assume they haven't yet updated pop #'s and will be a 1 of 1 ?

This gives me hope that Assembly is coming soon on my oldest UM. Entered 3/16 and Grading 10/1. Thanks for the update!

Figured this would be the outcome. I would have cracked the 2012, but didn’t care to find out the hard way how PSA feels about surface dimples on highly scrutinized cards.

Congrats! my success rate for crossovers has been terrible over the last few years so I don't do it anymore. Always crack and submit. Had an order last year of 14 TG or better (basically). Only one card crossed. i know i know. some TG are better than others, but still not a great success

I will, I think they all hit QA2 around the same timeframe. All still in QA2.

[Boredlawyer]

Had a single CC voucher left and sent a card in with it (Express).
Arrived 12/30/2021
Entered 12/31/2021
Entered QA1 today (1/7)

I am pleasantly surprised

Seems like when you do a crossover and it goes to QA1, that means your card crossed. I've done several crossover attempts and most have gone from Assembly straight to QA2 (including 2 separate crossover orders yesterday), and none have crossed.

24 cards. Shipped 1/2. Entered 3/15. Grading 9/28.

53 cards are still in Assembly.
19 cards are in QA2
24 cards delivered to me this week.

Forgot about another small 5 card bulk modern order that also went into grading on 09/28. That one went from grading to QA1 yesterday. Didn't even see it in assembly.

So random how they are finishing orders. So far my newest subs are getting back the soonest.

[Springerj23]

When you have a mountain of packages, and then receive a second larger amount of packages, you might have to get rid of the later received stuff first to get to the other pile!!!

Just a shot in the dark...

They probably have container ships full of cards sitting on the property. I have always wondered what they did with all those cards? The cards got delivered there, but they didn't have anywhere to put them. Where did they put them?

Might be a Netflix documentary 10 years from now. Cardboard to CASH, Flipper Investors take over the world

Got a new absolute prick of a grader. Stuff from group breaks here that I went through for centering/surface

Owen Caissie refractor - 0 10s, 13 9s
Max Meyer chrome - 8 10s, 15 9s
Max Meyer refractor - 4 10s, 27 9s

went 48 10s 119 9s for the order

Another pile of low dollar TCGs with 634 certs just dropped tonight. I'm having a real hard time believing this was just some slow learning optimist who had five figures to burn on express grading fees.

[oddstuff]

Curious if any one has a value/bulk order with an entered/research&ID date of 4/1/2021 or later and in Assembly. Have seen some orders with mid to late March but nothing in April yet that are in Assembly.
