At this point, it is what it is. If my 13 card order is costing me more than someone else's 100 card bulk order, then I am guessing that is how they are justifying it. And this is coming from someone who has 3500 cards still in the queue at PSA.

Yeah I'm just frustrated that something that arrived to them September 24th 2020 is still in research

When did they mark it as received? All of my bulk orders that got to them in August-Oct are in grading or assembly.

They didn't mark it received till January 5th so It just sat there 3.5 months before they even entered it

Likewise. Yesterday my value order received 10/18/2020, entered 1/25/2021 went into grading. All five of my orders entered in January are now in grading. Hopefully February and March entries are not too far behind getting staged accordingly. Those are my bigger 100+ card orders.

Seems they have very clearly allocated a lot of resources towards working through value modern. I suspect that is the biggest pile there. Wonder what the deal is with value TCG. Seems very neglected.

I had an order that was received by them late September and wasn't entered into system until jan 8. I emailed them about why it took so long to enter in an order and they responded with, some orders take the 12 weeks to enter into system.

The following day I saw movement on my order (06/03/21), and cards shipped out on 06/14/21.

Email response is usually a day or two, but definitely worth trying

BTW, mine was an Economy order

I have tried messaging them a few times I usually just the same generic "due to unprecedented volumes yadda yadda yadda"

Default Economy Order of Vintage Cards from November

Grades popped today. These were submitted through a card shop. Grades as follows-

Cert Grade Description
52423142 FAIR 1.5 1964 Topps 50 Mickey Mantle
52423143 VERY GOOD 3 1964 Topps 50 Mickey Mantle
52423144 GOOD 2 1964 Topps 125 Pete Rose All-Star Rookie
52423145 VERY GOOD 3 1966 Topps 50 Mickey Mantle
52423146 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1967 Topps 150 Mickey Mantle
52423147 EXCELLENT 5 1968 Topps 50 Willie Mays
52423148 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1968 Topps 247 Reds Rookies Johnny Bench/Ron Tompkins
52423149 EXCELLENT 5 1968 Topps 490 Super Stars Killebrew/Mays/Mantle

The first five belong to a friend and grades are about as expected. He knew they wouldn’t grade well, but wanted them in a slab and to have a good handle on value if he decides to sell.

Last three are mine and about what expected except for the Mays. I had predicted 6-8 and really thought it had a shot at a 7 or 8, but I’m brand new to this and I’m sure I missed a flaw.

Now I am waiting on 14 that were submitted at the same time at the Value level. I suppose I’m in for another long wait.

My 1 card regular is on the same schedule as you but still in grading. 3 card regular is in grading 4 days after yours.

Hopefully mine move out of grading by the end of next week.

Indeed, BOL to us both! I suppose I should pipe down now in the CTD Tracker thread.

9 Month wait? You must have sent them super express to get them back that fast.

Went into the shutdown with 11 submissions at PSA.

Yesterday, results popped on a "Regular" level submission.

Good News: To date, 6 submissions have completed... 2 each of CC Special, Regular & Express

Bad News: All that remains are 5 "Value" submissions. 2 Modern and 3 Ultra Modern. Arrived dates range from 10/7/2020 to 3/17/2021... NOT A SINGLE ONE of them has left Research & ID since logging in. The oldest will hit the 6-Month mark in Research & ID on Sunday (logged and moved to R&ID on 1/11/2021)! At this rate, I'm losing hope those last 2 value subs I mailed in right before the shutdown will even be completed in 2021
