Wow, earlier it was blue check assembly, now I checked and it's already green! I thought I'd be waiting for the green check for at least a week!

Now you probably have that week or more wait until you get the grades. I doubt assembly is happening that fast since the billing side should be the fastest process in that chain.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I think you're right.

I was worried about the rest of the cards since guys seem to be getting hammered lately by PSA. The whole order was a 75% gem rate, all 1980's cards, so a big win. The wait was worth it. Now one more to pop soon.

Incredible! Any chance you could post the cert# run so that we can view them on PSA's site? I just submitted 10 iconic baseball cards from the '80s and felt fortunate to get back one 10. I identified 2 or 3 others that had a good chance as well, but with all the horror stories of '70s and '80s cards getting hammered, I am relatively pleased.

I’m planning to send my second submission to PSA on Monday and wasn’t sure how to go about send two submissions in the same package. I want to send 20 cards as bulk submission but then also sent another card at a different service level. I’ve seen something online about generating a multiple submission barcode but not sure where that option. Also; can this only be done when using my own label versus using PSA one?

They will email you and direct order to service level

When you have submitted 2 or more submissions via PSA's online system, you will see the option to generate a "shipping barcode" which you tape to the outside of your package. When PSA scans that barcode when they received your package, that is what updates their system that whatever number of submissions you've put into the single shipping has been received. Didn't understand your question about "my own label versus PSA one". The shipping barcode printed from their system is how they scan your package and submissions into their system. If you fail to put their shipping barcode on the outside of the package or put something other than their barcode, you will delay your submissions from getting into the system and most likely cause all of your submissions in that box to get delayed.

Also, you need to have a different submission for your 20 cards bulk and the other card at a different service level...so TWO different submissions.

Mix of Modern, ultra modern, and two vintage pokemon
Grades according to the upcharge email. hopefully don't change during next steps
Expected: 10x 10s and 14x 9s
Receieved: 15x 10s, 6x 9s, 1x 8.5, and 2x 8s.
The 8.5 was spot on, hopeful for a 9. the 2x 8s were 1989 Upper Deck Griffey and Johnson. The Kaboom and Downtown I sent I expected to 9, both got 10s. The two pokemon got a 9 and a 10 as expected. SO overall, it was better than expected.

Is the only advantage of choosing to list your graded item on ebay immediately after it's finished grading vs sending to Vault and then listing it on eBay the speed at which it'll be put up for auction? So if you want a card put up on eBay ASAP, you'd choose "Sell on Ebay", but if you aren't in a rush, you could just send it off to your vault and then decide to sell it on eBay later?

You can only list for auction right now using the first option. You can do auction or BIN if you ship to vault first.

[Seatown206]

Yeah, I vaulted some of my cards because I had multiple copies of the same card and didn't want to flood the market by listing them all.

Gotcha, thanks.

Just in case other people encounter the same thing, after my order went on hold for upcharges, my estimated completion date went from April 17 to May 12. I called to see what is going on. The CSR said that once a hold is placed for any reason, the computer automatically resets the clock. It doesn't have any bearing on when it actually finishes. He also said that a card in my order had something on it in Q checks so it had to go back in for re-assembly. So i'm not really sure what to think. If it's like he said, or if it did actually get pushed back because it needed to be reholdered/regraded after someone saw an error...just something for you to be aware of

Cards were marked as received on 2/7 a month later and they still have not hit research and ID...

Wow, that's almost as bad as the USPS right now! Glad it got there!

[CardWizard]

What does it mean when on your orders page the submission says assembly blue check, but then you click into it and it still says grading, just a glitch?

It's not a conspiracy, that's what happens when they're put on hold.
