The turnaround time seems to have slowed.....

I submitted 5 cards to SGC as part of a larger group on either Jan 2 or 3. Grades are online and cards due in hand later this week. If that is slower, I’ll gladly still take it Trent King

THEY have slowed. But yes, they are still way faster than competitors.

Bob, must be dependent a little on the holidays and weather (transport mainly as they are in FL). I just received an order back that was processed amazingly fast.

Does anyone have experience in sending in vintage, autographed type 1 photos to PSA for classification and grading? If you want a nightmare experience, try that. I just received back the attached photo. I had reached the conclusion that it had been lost and was contemplating the next steps in filing a lost item claim. Of course, the photo came back with a crease through the middle that wasn't there when I sent it in - see the before and after photos - but I got it back. It was received by PSA NJ in early July 2022. This has turned into a "just glad to get back" situation.

I think most who use them believe the quick turnaround times from SGC is a good thing, and, of course, it is. But my concern is whether my cards have spent enough time in the grading room being looked at by someone who knows what they are doing. I fear that the SGC business model might put more emphasis on quick returns than doing the card justice by the grader and they are harshly grading vintage to be on the safe side. Certainly, a T3 Matty deserves far more grading attention than a Mike Trout base RC.

Travis, your nice '54 Jackie was raped by PSA. How any grader could give that a 3 is beyond a travesty.

I ended up sending it to SGC after rolling my eyes at PSA. They gave it the 4 it deserved at least.

Agreed.....he might have gotten a premium for it in the PSA slab as it looks really nice for the grade, but then again, you have the label snobs that are like "That is only a '3'. It is worth yadda yadda". Long story short, that card DID NOT look like a '3'. PSA's grading standards have tightened and doesn't really do their product justice.

With how many cards PSA does i would be surprised if any card got much of a serious look.
Their backlog was into the millions of cards.
At 2 a minute, each grader could do just under 1000 cards a day.
