Do you have any cards 1985 and older or unique cards in the orders? I had something similar happen to me where I had combined some 80's and modern cards in a 1980> bulk submission and the order sat in assembly for nearly 4 months. All other orders I had submitted after that one had all been completed.

Nope,
2 orders divided per their requirements of pre 1980, and post 1980. The post 1980 (4 cards) is the one that has been in Assembly so long. The pre 1980 (cards) just went to Assembly. All 50s and 60s Topps baseball. I get the vintage usually takes longer, but something isn't adding up.

Wow, this was my fastest order ever with PSA by far.

Modern Sports New Year Special 2023 (10 card order)

Arrived: Jan 5, 2024
Entered in: Jan 9, 2024
Estimated completed date: Mar 20, 2024

Grades just popped today Jan 25th!

For reference, I also have a a PSA/DNA order open that arrived Dec 7, 2023 and it's still in Research and ID.

Looks like I got the good grader too for this batch.
6 GEM MINT 10
4 MINT 9
1 NEAR MINT 8

All cards were 1998-2001 or so, so not bad at all.

Thanks. Ohtani led the way with 25 cards, Acuna 22, Wemby 6 and the rest a mix of young Orioles players and Corbin Carroll.

I would love to see this special extended for the quarter.

PSA seems to be flying through. Still have a December 11th order stuck in grading for going on 30+ days, so yeah, that unfortunately keeps happening, but love that these specials aren't creating 2-3 month TAs like previous $15 specials. 1 month door to door means we in business!

Agree, it seems like their volume didnt get hugely backlogged as it did last time they had this special. I think people are wising up to the value of grading.

Yeah that sucks. Sorry to hear that. It is unfortunate that PSA doesn't lay out their process. As you had noted earlier and we all share in that frustration how some orders are processed very quickly and then others just seem to get lost in the shuffle. I have been on both ends of it as well and it just never made any sense.

Anecdotally, do you notice stage changes occur more often early in the morning than the afternoon?

Funny how 2 orders, shipped together, once with auto grades was 3 days behind. And PSA crushed the expected completion day by 2-3 weeks.

Also Fed Ex is totally incompetent... also amazing that Canadian Border Services now charges duty/tax on the cost of grading services... LAME!
