God, i hope so. I have zero patience.

Dealing with PSA you best have the patience of Job. Imagine if you submitted to Beckett?? They have to wait over a year.

PSA closed until March 30th.

Graders should take a large box of cards home and grade them there! :D
I can hear it now, "Where did I put that box of cards?"!

PSA just sent an email saying all operations in Orange County, California have ceased.

Looks like we are stuck on assembly for a while.:(


:cool::cool::cool:

"Good things come to those who wait...…..and wait...…...and wait...………"

And wait....

This just in



Appears a skeleton crew is still working at PSA

Confirmed - skeleton crew at work

LOL, the crew not having eyes explains so much with my last submission.:D

LOL....How can a skeleton crew be at PSA when they have strict stay at home orders?? I don't like our order being "stuck" as much as you guys. But it is what it is. Hopefully normalcy will return soon. I haven't seen my girlfriend in almost a month now.

they've been grading and processing orders

I've had 2 head to q2 in the past week

Well.....I'm guessing the ones that actually put the cards in slabs and seal them aren't showing up....cause we have been at "aseembly" for quite some time.

Hey, at least when this saga plays out 7-8 months from now your cards will be safely entombed in slabs of plastic.

And look on the bright side. Any modern cards you sent to PSA in this "submission" will be coming back as vintage! :)

Looks like PSA is (sorta) back in business.

Dear PSA Customers,

First of all, I hope this message finds you and your family healthy and safe during this unprecedented time. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges for all of us as we continue to try and slow the spread.

Second, as it pertains to business, I want you to know that PSA appreciates your continued support. You each represent a vital part of the hobby and we thank you for your loyalty and patronage. As we previously reported, the company ceased authentication and grading operations in our California and New Jersey offices on March 20, 2020.

Following today’s corporate announcement, PSA is slowly reopening its California operation, bringing back a limited crew of employees, effective immediately. That said, safety is our top priority. We have implemented a number of health and safety measures, including changing the configuration of our workstations and limiting the number of employees that may be onsite at any time in order to maintain social distancing. We are also regularly sanitizing our offices and adopting other health and safety protocols.

During this time, while you may see some order movement, please be patient as we are still not back to full capacity and therefore service levels remain limited. Please note that we are able to accept orders at Economy service and higher, but are not able to currently accept Bulk orders. PSA autograph and memorabilia authentication services are accepting orders in California only. PSA’s New Jersey office remains closed.

We know things are slow for everybody right now, but we will survive this pandemic and hopefully be back to full capacity soon. This is a small step in the right direction towards that goal.

Be safe,

Steve Sloan
President

Looks like the Incredible Bulk cards from oct might be moving! Hoping for grades soooooon

Good luck everyone! I am new around here and have about 60 T206 that I am interested in grading (nothing amazing, except that they are T206s!). Maybe I can jump in on one of these in the future.

That's a lot of T206's...Bear in mind the dollar limit is $100 and under.

Still waiting! Better be the mother of all pops!

For what it's worth, I made a phone call yesterday. Not sure how much good it will do. Was told what I already knew. They are operating on a skeleton crew. They will be working on the oldest orders first, yadda yadda. The card is still on assembly with TWO errors reported on labels. One involves a Non-Sports card (vintage autos) that has the wrong car in the label and the other is some kind of old card that was labeled the wrong back. Sorry, so much time has passed I forgot the exact ordeal, but that is it in a nutshell. I'm not sure they are ready to move forward even without the two errors.

Thanks Bobby! We know it ain't you

Appreciate the update.

I just got an email that a PSA order I mailed on 12/29/19 has shipped.
All things considered I suppose 4+ months isn't too bad.

I keep forgetting about the submission, then get reminded when someone updates this thread. I'm betting by the time the pop comes, it'll feel like getting free graded cards!

If you subbed Michael Jordan cards, you might have to pay more due to the increased value...lol

Lots of movement over on the BO forum. bulk from december popping

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

:cool:
I'll take the over John! I doubt ANYONE thought it would take this long. Here's to good poppage

So I'll ask the obvious question. Why are December bulk submissions popping before our early October one? I understand that we have a couple of errors in the group, but is that really holding up completion by 2 months?

Jeff

At the current rate, they should go with the value when it arrived there.

If I had to guess, the research guys are non essential. As long as there aren't any issues, it's like an assembly linem. Equate it to a football game. I threw the red flag so the order is under review. Now they have to go in and see who got it right - me, or the graders. That is me guessing what has transpired.

Maybe we'll get the december sub back before the october sub..

Both errors have been resolved. The cards are in assembly still, but seeing the labels corrected to what they should be is promising.

Apparently, the submitters are responsible for catching their own errors. I caught two, but out of 500 cards, many of which I am unfamiliar with, I apologize if I missed some.

But you caught the one on my card, so thank you.

I have no clue what I submitted!:eek:

Found my list


1. 1910s Wall, Nichols Company – Duke Kahanamoku Hawaiian Souvenir Playing Card
2. T207 Terrance Turner
3. T207 George Mogridge
4. 1909 Ogden’s #55 Jack Johnson


Phew!

There are two outstanding subs. Was this on the Oct sub or the December sub?

Since we have turned a pretty major corner, let me pose THIS question. As usual, I will post the grades here, with the cert numbers omitted (Thanks to some joker deciding to add cards on the group sub to a phantom registry). If there is ANYONE who is not cool with the grades being posted here, SPEAK NOW or FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!!

No problem for me. Thanks.

Just post that ishh

October

I dreamt that the October sub popped!

Has any one been getting grading submissions back from PSA? SGC? If so, what level and how long? Thanks!

I'm hearing they are 2 weeks behind in shipping alone. If that gets your Hopes up

I thought we would see some movement since the errors were corrected. That's what I get for thinking. I would HATE to see their backlog....I am imagining a room with cards stacked to the roofs....

Did You Know?

Dreamt is the only word in the English language that ends in "MT"

Did you know Rhythm is the only word without any vowels?? I don't know if that is true or not....sounds good.

Wow, Bobby (post #143 Feb 17th)

The second coming of Carnac the magnificent

LOL....It was pretty easy to tell.....actually....the virus helped quite a bit, which I didn't see forthcoming.

Yeah, it's pretty bad, but I'm told they have "top men" working on it...

Excellent reference!!!

Next submission, instead of shipping to PSA, maybe send the wad to the monkey house at your local zoo. They might even be faster processing and returning the sub and . . . big and . . . their collective grading couldn't be any worse. Just toss in a few bananas with the cards to speed up the process. :D

Post #37

Shhh...our card grades are dropping with each negative post.

I think PSA is the bestest in the whole world! ;)

Jeff

You haven't heard anything negative from me. But then again, I have long learned with PSA you best have the patience of Job.

Update.

Thank you sir!

Woot!

?
 

what are you actually saying about the October sub.?

What do you mean??? Did you read the header?

That was fast...on to #2.

Henry, he's putting the update in the title of the thread. So it's progressing through the steps and is almost ready to show the grades.

So if I'm reading this correctly, a submission from last October is still in process at PSA? I sincerely hope that isn't true.

I submitted a 20-day order to SGC that they dated as received for processing on April 1st, and I just got an email notice that the submission has been shipped back to me today. So that would put their 20-day order at close to 40 days.

It most definitely is true. It was almost a 500 card order, with two errors, going through a pandemic.

Thanks john
 

I didn't know what QA phase whatever meant in terms of it's progress. I also didn't know if "woot" meant "woof" or something else. I'm a dinosaur....

LOL!!!! It means we are really really close now.

Woot! Is a synonym for Hurray!

QA: Quality Assurance. People now refer to the PSA phases as the Domino's Pizza Tracker.

"Woot" is like "Yee-Hah!" to the young kids.

QA = Quite A Long Time

How long does QA Check 2 usually take?

Who knows.

I hope they are paying you guys interest on your money, considering the obscene wait time.

They actually dont charge your CC until the cards are completed.



Just to poke another hole in your anti-psa sentiment bubble

That's good of them. I do like their Autograph and Photo Authentication, FWIW

Mark...are you on this sub?

*** SPOILER ALERT!!! If you don't want to know the grades, DO NOT click on the links!!! ***

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

The first link is cards 1-400. The second link is cards 401-484. Apparently the limit is 400.....lol

There's an amazing amount of variety in that sub - thanks for tackling this, Bobby!

Different strokes for different folks...I'm a little pissed....some no grades that should have been graded. Although I did get a PSA 10 on my Billy Ripken F**k Face bat.

Thanks for running Bobby.. much appreciated.

Very interesting results on my end

a Trout 2012 Heritage that had a corner nick got a PSA 10, while my 1989 Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck, which i thought was the best of the bunch got a PSA 5. And my 1982 Topps Cal Ripken which I pack pulled got a N6: Minimum Size Requirement.

I got some N6's as well that shouldn't have....grrrrrrrr.
