Looks like some December 2020 bulk ultra modern and modern are moving to completion. Sometime in September possible that bulk services will finally get to some January 2021 "entered" orders. Have a 200+ bulk modern order hit QA1 a day ago that was entered in 12/20.

Fantastic! If they keep with that 1 month for 1 month pace, and can officially wipe out bulks in 4 months, that would be huge. That would mean bulk could officially return Jan 1 2022, which isn't that far away in the grand scheme of things, especially if PSA can implement a strategy to control all service levels and guarantee service times by balancing prices for each service. Having said that, the mountain of cards at the end of March when folks caught wind of price increases is the X factor. How much bulk vs higher level services.

Wow, should be less than 2 weeks from delivered to grades popping. I think express will probably be the best value going forward since any lower service tier will get absolutely hammered and probably have a multiple-month turnaround time.

Likewise. My bulk modern ordered was entered in early December 2020. Expecting my results by mid next week. Fingers crossed we get what we want.

Just got my first order ever back from PSA. Forgot to track the actual dates but from delivery to shipped was 21 days with Express for two cards.

Pretty excited about the Trout.





Pretty disappointed about the Hurts

This is why the complete through date is dumb. According to them, everything from 11/12 has been completed. Yours’ isn’t even in QA2.. lame. Hope it comes quickly for you.

Anybody have an idea of how long it takes to get cards sent back from stage 7?

There is hope! Honestly, 11 months isn’t terrible considering what I was expecting just a few months ago. I shipped 3 orders out in mid September separated by sport. This one entered 12/16, one entered 1/5, and another 1/12. Can’t explain how the first and third(shipped within 3 days of each other) were checked in so far apart.

Edit: I will say, their shipping department seems to be on top of it. This hit QA2 late Friday/Saturday, grades popped yesterday, tracking number provided late last night.

Yeah, I feel bad seeing people with express orders in here from mid-late July that still haven't popped yet. I had a 4 card express order that was delivered 8/19 and is already in QA2, so it should be less than a week from delivered to shipped just like yours.

Sent in two submissions.

Submission1
Order Type: Express
# of cards: 3
Order delivered: 07/22/21

Research & ID: 07/23/21
Grading: 07/26/21

QA1: 8/6/21
QA2: 8/7/2021
Shipped: 8/9/2021
Grades: 10, 9 and 9 (the 10 was on a 2018 Ohtani Sapphire!!)

Submission2
Order Type: Express (Crossover)
# of cards: 1
Order delivered: 07/22/21
Order received per PSA: 07/22/21
Research & ID: 07/23/21

QA1: 8/24/2021
QA2: 8/24/2021
Shipped: 8/25/2021
Grade: Min-Grade

Unfortunately, this is my last crossover attempt. This was a Guerrero auto BGS 9.5 (9.5, 9.5, 10, 10) and looked perfect. There's no way this would translate to a PSA 9. Oh well, no more crossovers for me.

I haven't done a submission in a while, but noticed that the online instruction doesn't mention about the service level being required to be written on the outside box.
Is this the new norm with PSA?
There is a small bar code paper that needs to be taped instead, so I assume that replaces the function of service level writing on box?

Correct. Unless you are doing a CRC service, in which case you need to write "CRC Lane XXX" or whatever they tell you in your service request. The bar code replaced the need to write "Express", "Super Express", etc.
