Running PSA Order Tracker

Incredible how inconsistent PSA is at this point, standards vary way too drastically from grader to grader. I got a good grader on this one, 25/27 Gem's on an order that was primarily 2021 prizm football parallels, which tend to have a very low gem rate. In addition I cracked and resubbed 2 8's and a 9 from a previous order- all 3 got 10's.

PSA is by far the most inconsistent grading company just based on the luck of draw of which grader you get. Congratulations on getting one of the more easy graders. What were the grades on your last order, types of cards?

WTF?

When the CSG pumper gets good grades , CSG is the best ,strict and most consistent graders. BUT WHEN someone else gets good grades from PSA , it is easy , inconsistent and a lotto luck.

What a a-hole CSG pumper thinking. Have to love how these CSG pumpers think. Talking about inconsistent human, CSG pumpers are the most inconsistent humans .

*PSA gets the most consistent prices.

LOL

Update! Looks like they were working late last night.

Uhhh I only sub with PSA, have never subbed with anyone else and don't plan to. All the other grading companies aren't worth it with the trash prices they bring in on the market. It is possible to criticize PSA's inconsistencies without being a shill for the other companies.

This is probably the goofiest video I've ever done, but you have to at least laugh/enjoy the Ls you take. Dropping in a few hours like hot sauce on tacos

Gave them a try. Talking about inconsistent.
Cracked 5 slabs , 8's from CGC/CSG last month that i subbed last year.
They all came back with higher grades .5-1 higher and had different labels from last year.

Talking about inconsistent. lol.

I stand corrected, those csg slabs are CONSISTENT for horrible prices realized , super consistent.

How disappointing- my July special went into R&ID on 8/3 and still has not moved to grading

Something similar happened with a recent submission.
Express Sent USPS 8/6. Arrived 8/8. Under the order number, step one moved to blue.

No receipt confirmation email that follows 24 hrs from scan.

As of yesterday, still no movement. Even last year, express typically moved to Step 2 24-72hrs of receipt.

Finally called, 5 hr wait for callback (109 callers ahead as of 750am PST/1050am EST). Rep was very helpful. Emailed trk #, she personally called back to confirm receipt as my main concern was it being missing/lost.

Issue as told to me is it incorrectly went in the Value pile. As of yesterday they were working through value as of 8/3 so expect mime 5 days later to go Step 2.

Certainly delayed, but great customer service rep. A side note, seemed they got a ton of volume from July from how it was described to me. Expect delays on lower services.

Mine arrived 8/2 and hasn't even gone to R & ID lol

[clocsta2323]

The silver lining with PSA being shut down was we only had to suffer with about 25% of the bitching about dates and stages everyones orders were in.

[Skipscards]

Question, at what point does PSA charge for the order?

$50 card order popped. All previous BGS 9.5's and I think five of the six were at least true gems....

All six got PSA 9's

[bravesfan#1]

I have 3 $18 value orders in assembly now. Using the registry trick, grades look exactly as I expected. Will track in a spreadsheet to see if any grades change in QA2/poppage. So excited to get these, tons of PC cards, Jordans, and a few to flip.

Still waiting on call back from PSA on my reslab Hold. It's been 3 weeks and two phone conversations with "promises" that someone from Customer Care will call me back. Nothing.

Economy order shipped. Woohoo.

Damn that’s tough. My $50 Economy order was delivered the same day as yours and still in grading, wish the entire process was just a tad bit more consistent…

Ouch indeed! I am not surprised by this. You could have easily gotten a different grader and they all got 10. That is the main issue I think many have.

Meant to quote OP.
