Well I did the registry trick and my value literally just got graded, should move to assembly any time now as well.

Did PSA say that the $30 value orders would not start being finished until after the entire backlog is cleared? We could be sitting in QA2 for months if that's the case. My 3rd Value order just hit assembly as well.

Yes I'm pretty sure that was made clear to folks when they rolled out that service to stem the potential uproar.

same. my value is still in grading but i can look all the cards up. hope ours moves soon.

side note: does anyone know what it mean when the grade is a weird number like 9.833 or 9.477? have two cards with this anomaly. is it because i have cards already in a set / stored in my app?

Yeah it's averaging out an existing set. You can still guess the grade based on whether the number is going up or down though. If you want a clean number start another set that includes the card but is empty.

It's not accurate. I've lost count of how many people post the sneak peak grades and then when PSA officially lists them they are completely different.

Already looked up my Value results, they were not generous but probably pretty accurate/fair.

Agreed, I wouldn’t get excited about anything before QA2 it gets much more reliable at that point, but still not 100%

I’m shocked at a value order going from receiving to assembly in 9 days… typo?

I've yet to have a grade change on a bunch of TCG cards on separate orders

Thats because they can bump down your grades during the QA stages. Just another way to control pops.

I've seen instances where the grades end up higher than the preview grade too.

Thanks for the info regarding the registry trick thingy.

Would there be a specific direction I can follow to check my current 4 cards in the Grading stage at PSA? would love to see if it works for me! Thanks

Nothing interesting. A few Pokemon cards and some basketball inserts/parallels for sets/runs I’m building.

Anyone else experiencing a really slow process for dual? Pretty sure this is exceeding the original turnaround time estimate. I've sent an email to PSA, so hopefully that expedites it a bit.

Anybody did a crossover at the walk-through level recently? Tried searching in the thread but nothing that's not months old been posted. If anybody did, please let us know what the turnaround time was

Yes, dual is the worst thing going for PSA right now. You’re an entire month ahead of me though, im closing on three months that they’ve have had my 4 card dual order
