Will PSA get back to grading non-national submissions?

I'm basing my post on personal experience. You're basing yours on....?

Pack your patience. Unless you are submitting at one of the premium levels, it’s going to take a while. If you’re submitting at the value level, you could easily be waiting for 4-5 months.

At least, that’s been my experience lately.

It's PSA, I waited almost 2 years for a sub to come back. If you want quick turn times go with SGC.

Seriously, almost 2 years? I'm not sure if there's any excuse for that. Was there a crazy pandemic excuse by PSA?

Just curious, when a submission is made, does PSA provide some type of turn around time on submissions? I would think they could put something on their web site indicating an approximate return time. You have to figure that they know how many cards are in process, how long it will take to process those cards and then adjust as the orders come in.

It was a group sub during the pandemic so not a normal time.

I have a submission that was received on 03/02, went to grading on 03/09.....not bad and went to assembly on 06/22. Over a month in the assembly stage. The wait continues.

The most disappointing thing is ultimately the lack of transparency. My assumption is that PSA knows they are the industry leader, so they don't feel any urgency or need to provide a better customer experience, because they know people will keep sending in cards, and they aren't really facing any real pressure from the other companies.

I have 2 orders there now, and a third I will be shipping off in a week or so. I will probably hold off on any other submissions for a few months to see if things improve on their side or not.
