How long currently for PSA to enter order into their system?

PSA must not be facing any significant competition is my take on things. People would rather wait a long time for PSA grades than use the other services.

AMEN PSA dominates the market
I live 20 minutes from SGC Florida in Boca, same guy who greets you when you walk in sometimes is the same guy as the "Grader" if you have a question , the Facility is surprisingly quite small , I am sure if you went out back , same guy may be also packing orders and maybe taking out the trash.
Lower overhead ,normally equates to lower a quality product .

My 10-day order was delivered on 2/22. Still not checked in.

No, it's not funny at all.

As someone who has almost always worked for small businesses, and who has done high quality work, I think it's really offensive.

What I do think is lousy work is not planning well enough or at all for a move, missing due dates on work by well over a month, not getting things right a lot, and apparently taking the customer service (Disservice?) position of "just get over it"

Substandard in every way and yet some people just fall all over themselves for them.

I said "NORMALLY" not always , Mom and Pop Shops and small businesses were the back bone of this country, but times are a changing , as I said SGC are cheaper ,much quicker , sure their holders look like some thing out of Walmart , sure they have no cert look up , sure on Average the same card grade in a PSA holder gets a lesser price verses SGC "apples to apples"
and their customer service is excellent , obviously having 130% less submissions a month than PSA has a lot to do with it ,
100,000's thousands except PSA with all their pitfalls
could they improve absolutely , will they I doubt it
thank god SGC is ready to snap up the 100's of never using PSA again customers

So today, my 26 card 7 day order pops after a month and half {maybe 2} So if that's bad enough, many of which were beckett RCR 8/9; are now in PSA 6 holders.

Thank you sir, may I have another............

With Vintage cards - I have never had a good experience trying tp cross BGS/BVG over to either PSA or SGC

The few bvg I've tried have come back trimmed/ sheet cut

Anytime I go to a shop that's one of the modern high overhead palaces I know I'm not getting good service or pricing. But yeah, times are changing and a lot of them are closing.

Umm... Yeah....
Comcast and Verizon and BOA are market leaders too, and routinely rate in the bottom 10 nationwide. Maybe with some effort and longer delays PSA can crack that list.
I've never seen SGC cards in Wal-Mart, but have seen PSA cards there..... So their holder is quite literally "something from Wal-Mart"

Does PSA dust their holders with meth or something? The level of denial is pretty high with their "users"

(Not currently a big fan of any of the three grading companies.)
