PSA complete through dates stalled

[chadeast]

This was posted on Blowout. July $18 special order graded and assembled in 3 weeks ,now sitting in QA. The theory is that there appears to be little of the backlog left in Grading, and what's left of it is downstream after Assembly. PSA seems to be very close to getting through the 2021 tsunami, if they aren't already there.

I have no confidence at this point. Bobby’s swingin sixties group has lingered in the grading stage for darn near 6 months now. We moved to grading on or about 3/1/22, and nothing.

PSA has had the Swingin' 60's sub for 1 year 4 months and 16 days.

The American Civil War lasted 3 years, 11 months, and 4 weeks.

Over/Under?

Forrest Gump ran for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours. Lieutenant Dan's legs will grow back before we get this one back.

[Mike D.]

I wonder if most of the subs that are lingering are really large?

I sent two July special orders in (21 and 24 cards) - they arrived at PSA on 7/29, and one of them just went into grading today.

So, the backlog jam isn't gone, but things seem to be flowing. Hoping they wrap up the backlog soon so people can get their cards right. After them having my last vintage close to 16 months, I know that feeling sucks.

Wow.

I have a 7 card economy crossover order from 4/29 still in grading, well past the 90 day estimate now.

And an 8 card economy raw card grading order from 7/7 still in grading as well.

And those are the Reasearch and ID dates.

Wish I had your luck.

it's hard to follow what's going on over there.

i have a 26 card value submission that was logged in early july, and it's in QA1 already as of today. but i also sent a 4 card $50 submission in the exact same box, and that's still in grading phase. pretty bizarre, though i'm certainly happy to get the bigger lot back so quickly.

hopefully they'll sort out the crazy backlog for all the folks here who have been waiting seemingly forever.

It seems to me they are now going in no order at all. People getting back $30 submissions while My order at $20/per has been in grading for what feels like eternity. The complete through date for value vintage has been at April 4, 2021 for well over 1 month and if that date does not move how could I possibly expect my order to ever get done. Jeff W

There are delivery and completion anomalies across the brands. I sent CSG an order on their express service that was completed a few days after they completed an economy order that went in the same day as the express order. I figure that one of the cards in the express order presented an issue in terms of either identification or grading. Or they just do stuff at random...

I have a 62 card order at the $150 level, YES $150 per card of $9000+. It was entered on the 20th of August and as of just now is still in Assembly. The site says Express is 14 calendar days. Maybe they shoul teach the graders to count before they teach them to grade. They are not good at either!

Because misery loves company, I have a similar situation. Express order for 6 post-war low pop oddball cards, entered 8/24. Still at the grading stage. Based on progress to date, unless they get inspired to move really quickly right away, I'm guessing it will be closer to 45-60 days.

I wonder whether the special offer they ran for the National at $18 per card has resulted in some increased volume and slowed down their throughput.

In another example of their inconsistencies I had a single card express order arrived August 4th and got it back within 2.5 weeks or so.

Unfortunately the holder came back cracked and was obviously cracked in the PSA cert verification image as well. Spent 3 whole days in QA2 and no one picked up on it.

Now it's back at PSA for a free reholder and after a week still in Research and ID.

And now just today, my submission jumped! Popped up to QC1 phase. So apparently they jumped to the front of the line and got graded and assembled in a couple of days. If they blaze through the last couple of steps, maybe they'll come close to hitting that 2-week mark...

Would be nice if PSA charged for the service they actually provide; if cards submitted at 14 day turnaround but takes 60 days then down charge to lower rate. Great way to build PR and enhance CS, but I don’t think anyone cares.

We care enough to complain about it here…

If they gave people a refund who submitted cards at higher service levels for extra $$ thinking they would grade higher than they did. I mean they call you for MORE $$ if you underpaid, right!

The above ideas are a pipe dream.

you really like when they will POP and Pop in general. Hop on Pop. POPOPOPOPOPOP. Can't wait for ya to POP. Forget this assembly stuff. Let us know when they Pop? For 9K I would expect Popage of some sort? AND FAST
