Should I be worried? I'm kinda freaking out!! PSA/DNA.

Not getting confirmation a package arrived is worthy of concern.

The major owner of PSA, Nat Turner, has an account on Net54 and Blowout if you want to complain about the service.

The "unnecessary action" is not being concerned that a valuable package is missing. It is sending it to PSA in the first place.

Agreed.

Jim's thorough and detailed response to the OP is just more evidence to that fact that this is such a great community.

They are running behind at that office going back to before the national. They got my last order on Sept 26th and it’s not entered yet. When I exchanged emails with the rep they said they’re a little behind and should be a month to get done. That was last week. We”ll see how it works out for you, but I’m sure it’s fine.

In regards to whether it’s “worth it” or not. For resale, yes it’s worth it. Many people will not buy an autograph without the LOA with it. Also, whether we agree or not people are willing to pay more (a lot more) for any high quality signature with a PSA/DNA or JSA letter.

I can argue with that logic or I can just make money based on it. I choose the latter.

Read the original post. The photos had already been "authenticated." They were sent out to be slabbed.

When I used to send often to PSA (before they jacked up the price and the turnaround time became 8 months +, It could take 3-4 months for me before my submission showed up on their website. One reason I haven't submitted in quite awhile

The original post did not say who they were authenticated by. PSA will not classify and encapsulate an autographed photograph when the autograph has been authenticated by another company, i.e. JSA. You would have to have the autograph recertified by PSA. I have tried in person to no avail. I have a large collection of vintage (1930's - 1940's) snapshot autographed photos certified by JSA. PSA will not classify and encapsulate them as certified autographed photos without having the autographs authenticated by PSA, example attached.

I’m starting to agree with you guys.

As far as resale value, if I sold my entire collection these particular photos would be among the very last to go; so I’m hoping they do show up.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate that detailed response.
