Does anyone else have first view pics that don't match the card listed. I have five vintage cards that are in the grading stage. If I click on the first view link for the '74 Nolan Ryan, the picture of the 1964 Bob Clemente pops up. If I click on the first view link for the '64 Bob Clemente, the picture of 1979 Dave Winfield pops up. Each card has the wrong pics associated with them.

First view is likely a well intentioned feature, but is going to lead to an incredibly large volume of annoying and unnecessary phone calls to PSA CS

Are we sending ALL cards in sleeves now if they're going to manhandle them for scanning pre-grading? (or did I miss something about where in the process this scan is done?)

EDIT: Whenever I try the "what if", is says Cert# XXXXXXXX does not upgrade any of your sets

All 4 of the cards I sent have others on the pop report but aren't shown in the Master Set I started. Am I missing something else here?

Anyone having issues with recent submissions not appearing? My order was delivered on Monday morning, yet hasn't been entered into the PSA system still (not arrived yet). In my experience, it usually shows in 1 business day.

Yes, always use new penny's, found 2 images with the fingers in the pic. They must be going at mach. speed. Can't imagine what is causing those horizontal lines, I know penny sleeves are sensitive but wtf...we will see how the grades pop.

Needs to be in a registry set. Sounds like they are not in the registry (player master) set? If not, thats why...they wouldn't upgrade your set.

I have a shipment that was delivered to PSA last Friday. It's showing as arrived in their system, but hasn't been "entered" yet. Says awaiting processing. Don't recall a delay at the beginning stage before.

Yeah I recently had a TCG value that took 12 days until they entered it into their system. The regular sports and modern sports value were entered the next business day.

I have two of the same card in an order. When I enter one in via the "What if" trick, it gives a result. When I enter the other, it says that it dosen't upgrade any of my sets.

Unfortunately, I'm getting the feeling that PSA is going to claim something like min size or whatever else might prevent them from slabbing it. Is there any other reason why that might happen? Maybe an upcharge preventing it? I can hope, can't I?

Mine was entered pretty quickly within a couple days but they gave me the "no spec" designation on almost half my order so they might as well not have entered it and just sent it back to me.

You don't have the card added to the set, right?

If you had added the card with the same or higher grade, then checking one with the same grade or lower would not upgrade. But if its not in your set, then sounds to me like it may not have a number grade.

Correct, I just used the "What if" feature on both. Definitely looking like they decided not to grade or slab it for some reason, which really sucks since it's a crack and resub.

That makes sense, thanks

It's been so long since I've sent in my own submission. My Regular order of 4 cards went to QA2 recently but as of an hour ago, the cards disappeared from the order itself. Is that normal when the grades are about to show up?

My value plus order of 3 cards went to Grading yesterday and those cards/certs are still visible, just not the regular order. They were visible a couple of hours ago which is what threw me off.

Question on this. I added an existing "Luka Prizm Rainbow" set to my list. The base one is listed on that set. I then tried to search 2x prizm lukas that are in QA2 and its giving me the "won't upgrade" message.

Am I doing something wrong in this process? Thanks!
