Since it took a while to log the submission we're only at about 30 business days at this point depending on how many days they work around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Could possibly be another month if they take the full 50 days. Of course...on the other hand, it could pop Tuesday too....

The guys keeping track on Blowout have shown that all submission (bulk and even 5-days) are getting delayed at PSA. PSA is moving buildings right now and didn't have good monthly specials the last couple of months to try and slow down submissions, but they're still slammed. I agree you're probably looking at another calendar month.

I signed up for the PSA collectors club in October and submitted for a 10 day turnaround on 10/21. Submission was received on 11/8. I'm at over 30 business days with no word.

Wow, I guess I need to be more patient. I joined the PSA collectors club in November and took a bunch of my 1972 STP cards to the Philly show in early December. My account shows that the cards were received on December 12, and I anxiously checked the last several days to see if the grades popped yet.

I had never submitted anything to PSA before, so I really didn't know how good they were with turnaround times.

Most of the 1972 STP cards are not big value cards no matter what they grade, but I am anxious to see what the Lorenzen with car card and the Bobby Allison card grade.

BTW, did you submit the Richard Petty card for grading? Just curious to see what it grades.

[Arazi4442]

My first submission as well. Total value was well less than 1K for all 15 submissions. Yes, I did submit the Petty card, I'll let you know when (and if &#128512 I get my grade. I've emailed PSA multiple times and received only robot replies. I hope they are as busy as was mentioned above. It makes want to work with another tpg exclusively.
I know PSA brings more $, but I got back into collecting just for me. Not trying to turn a profit on anything.

I completely understand your point. That is largely how I feel as well. I mostly collect obscure cards outside the big four sports because I love the impossible to find, even if it may only be worth $100-200.

I decided to get my STP cards graded because there is only one other complete set on the registry (the owner also posts on this board) due to the extreme rarities of a couple cards in that set.

When I dropped off my cards at the Philly show in early December, the line at PSA was huge. As far as the value of the total submissions, if the cards would somehow get lost in the mail, there is a good chance I would never find another example of a couple of the cards.

Don't send them to Beckett if you're worried about turnaround. Their bulk grading services are taking an average of 90-100 business days right now, so right about 5-6 months.

TTT.......appears to be 53 days, not counting holidays, since submission was "logged" (11/11). Hopefully this will pop soon. Patiently waiting.

[toledo_mudhen]

So Im figuring today is day 50 accounting for 2 days thankgsiving - 2 days Christmas - 1 day New Years?

I saw this a top of thread and and was thiniking woohoo - they have popped

[bobbyw8469]

You HAVE to account for holidays. PSA was not open for those days (and probably more, ie Black Friday)....I fully expect this to go the distance, and then some, due to the fact that I had to get "Shelia" involved. We had some cards that were so rare, that PSA did not even have specs set up for them. They had to photograph and catalog the ones that were in our order. It happens.

[bobbyw8469]

PS - It wasn't ME with the rare cards...I never have any rare cards!!!

Me too....

[bobbyw8469]

I called PSA today. They said possibly some time next week. Thanks for everyone's patience.

[bobbyw8469]

If anyone doesn't object, I will post the grades here in this thread when they pop soon. If anyone objects, speak now or forever hold their peace.....

[bobbyw8469]

Not sure if these will pop this week.....Joe Orlando has sent a memo out and I am not feeling very confident right now. Someone else on here said a 10-day order took 45 days!! That is insane!!!!

I’ve corrected PSA’s quote.
