Advice on submitting a card to PSA.

If it matters, DO anticipate a VERY, VERY, VERY long wait to get it back. I have a card I submitted with a $1K grading fee - "supposed" to be overnight turnaround - was expecting about a week. Tracking shows they received it March 5th. As of yesterday they still don't show it as "received"! $150 level, I would expect AT LEAST 2-3 months.

I would call PSA if you have a $1000 fee submission that has not progressed. They now have daily updates of all their non premium services so you can get an idea of how long it will take.

According to their new through date Walk throughs ($600) are all completed through March 11th, so yours should be way ahead of that.

Best of luck.

And $100% agree to everyone else's answer on the OPs question, pay for lower service if money is what matters most but keep in mind the waiting period is probably over 3 months at this point for express due to the heavy increase right before prices increased. It looks like only 1.5 to 2 weeks for super express per the chart.

I believe the dates are from when the subs are logged in, they are holding some of the subs for two months before they even log them in.

I have the same dilemma with a couple packs I want to grade to sell one.
I don't really want to grade them, but the price difference is just too big. But the fee is pretty steep, and if prices drop a lot while they're out it could be pretty bad.

Part of me thinks prices will drop once people get back to doing other stuff, another part thinks that what I've seen over the years is that the really good stuff doesn't drop quickly. Someone who can afford 1000+ for a hobby item can usually afford to hold it when the prices soften.

The dates are when the order is logged in as received I believe (the date that shows up on your my order page).

The orders that take months to get processing are not $1000 fees. They are they value, bulk, quarterly specials.

He did say that his order isn't marked recieved yet so the clock hasn't started but if it arrived 10 days ago it should be marked recieved long before now.

I had an express card order that USPS delivered on the 10th and was marked recieved on the 10th.

If you mark on the outside the service level, it will get entered quicker for higher service levels.

This is true. It's like paying for "Faster to the Fun" on a well known cruise ship. They are supposed to treat those subs better.

Submit at the lower fee and hope they call to upgrade fee. However, if prices crash by the time you get it back - I'll buy it from you!

Yes but according to their chart they are at 40-50 days on the express so it's safe to log yours in but the walk-through they probably wait until they are ready to grade it to log it in.
