I noticed this. Also saw some certs with 620 which could be regular subs from around shutdown time. All cards nobody should have been submitting at $50/card.

Really really stupid people submitting cards in 2021/2022

Bulk orders with entered dates of March 25, March 26, and March 31 all sitting in grading for a good 3 months now. Hoping to see Assembly in the next month or so.

Anyone know what it means if the PSA set registry trick for seeing grades early isn't working for 1 cert in an order but is for others? Maybe not graded due to minsiz or some other reason? My express order just went to assembly and trick worked for 1 out of 2 cards only.

That has been my experience. That card didn’t get a grade. Check again after it clears QA1. Things have changed for me where a card originally graded a 9 in Assembly and was invalid in QA2. The card ended up being minsize.

Is QA2 moving quicker now? I think my last experience was that it took about a week or two in QA2 because of the scanning.

Haven't seen you here in a while...welcome back! IF anything, everything including QA2 is slower than a month ago. I think part of the process time will be from what orders are ahead of yours in the line. If a bunch of the orders ahead of yours are smaller ones, then moving through the whole process including QA2 will be at a decent pace. But if you've got several or even one 300-500 card order ahead of you QA2, it's going to be (and feel like) you're stuck in QA2 forever. For those in group subs, think that is most likely the case, that they are in orders with a larger number of cards which slows the whole process time even more. The scanning has added more time to the entire process (I read that they are scanning every single card now).

Thanks! I was just curious because I have 3 orders in QA2 now, 1 a bulk order, 1 an express order with 12ish cards, and 1 a regular order with 70ish cards. It should be interesting to see which one pops first.

I wonder if there are different "lines" at the QA2 stage depending on which service levels...or if they're all lumped together. It should be interesting to see which pops first if they all hit QA2 on the same day...please report back!

I will, I think they all hit QA2 around the same timeframe. All still in QA2.

Over a year, grades just in. On PSA cert. verification you type in #, shows info and population. Looking up a 2013 Curry card, shows info, but complete blank as to all population figures. Assume they haven't yet updated pop #'s and will be a 1 of 1 ?

Curious if any one has a value/bulk order with an entered/research&ID date of 4/1/2021 or later and in Assembly. Have seen some orders with mid to late March but nothing in April yet that are in Assembly.

Update on sub through a group submitter:
11/10/2021 entered assembly
01/09/2022 still in assembly

This company! I know there will be negative comments, but there is no way this company would maintain their strangle hold on market share in any other industry.

I know you’re frustrated. But you’ve posted about this five times already this year. We get it. Everyone else is waiting too. You’re not alone.

I think you should have your own dedicated thread:

"is The_Reverend's TCG order still in assembly?"

then post Yes or No.
