My order was received 6/20 and entered for research/id 7/6. But they obviously don’t do fifo so it’s kinda luck of the draw.

Seems strange some people are in and out of QA2 in a day, I’m stuck in QA2 for over a week now with list one but seeing posts of people entering QA2 after mine and popping. Any idea the avg time for some that get stuck in QA2?

I am relatively new to grading and have only submitted 5 orders to PSA, but my latest is a 40 card Value Bulk order that was received on 6/30 and is also not entered. I imagine it will take another week or two. Did you submit Value Bulk?

I also submitted a Regular order for 6 cards that arrived on 6/26, entered on 6/27 and is in QA Check 1 right now (est. 10 business day turnaround).

Had 3 orders of 60 cards each sent for the $15 special (1990-modern) finish and ship in 9 business days.

9! How is this possible?

In the same box was a Value Plus order that is still in grading (as it should be), but I wouldn't have wasted the extra $25 per card knowing the speed of the other orders.

I finally received Order #2 back last week. One of the slabs wasn't scanned/photographed, so there is no cert image associated with it. That is mildly annoying.

The bigger issue is the 2019 Opening Day Acuna Sock it to Me insert that looked perfect received a PSA 3. It took me a while to find the issue with the slabbed card, but then I noticed the very subtle diagonal crease across the entire length of the card. This was not there when I packaged the card - I check my cards closely before subbing and would never have slabbed a creased card. Hard to image it was damaged during shipping, as it was the 8th card in the sub so it was between other cards and none of the others were damaged. So I can only guess it happened when the card was removed, or when being handled during the grading process.

I've emailed PSA regarding both issues, but I'm not optimistic. It's a tough card to replace, but certainly not the rarest card in that sub so it could have been worse, I suppose.

Has anyone had a regular stall out in QA2?

Usually regular had been pretty quick until the latest hiccup in the machine. Wondering what people's turnaround on that has been lately. My order was received 6/22.

Thanks

I had 1 card Regular entered a day after yours. It went into QA2 on 7/7 and hasn't moved since.

Happy to get 17/22 10's and the rest 9's. I threw in 4 "set up cards" that I thought would get 9's (which they did) distributed in front of cards I really wanted and thought would get 10's. Figured I'd test it out. Have no idea if it helped or not. LOL

So in reality I only missed on 1 card out of 18 that I thought would gem...unfortunately that card was a Elly Chrome 1st...but it's fine...I'll take it!

items PSA do not grade due to being an obscure issue or not fitting in PSA holders (N9).

Anyone know how long this $19 bulk special will last? I’m waiting on a few cards in the mail to see if they are worthy. Thanks

$19 / Bulk at $199 DV is the price for the foreseeable future if you are sending in 20 cards.

The 80s special at $15 / card is probably good through July.
