What are the common reasons for a sub getting stuck at QA2 while others move past it?

I may be talking out of place here, but I think if any cards in the submission qualified for an up-charge, that can be a big reason a submission gets stuck in QA2. Other grading vets in this forum probably have better answers, though.

I was just in a sub that got stuck and the reason was there were 2 cards in the submission, not mine, that had issues.

QA2 is the last step that we send updates out for until the day before the sub arrives back at our office. That is when we will invoice you and pop the grades. That is why QA2 can seem to last a bit longer.

Roger that. It does look like my sub popped this morning, so at least we have progress.

I apologize if you all have been asked this 100 times before, but do you offer reholder services if I wanted to send in a few cards to get new slabs?

We can if they were graded through us.

Any update on Value Plus 2023.31? It's been about two months for a 20 day turnaround time. Obviously an estimate, just seeing if you can check in to see what might be going on. Thanks!

Thanks! I have another one if you can look into that too:

Dual Service Bulk - Dual Service Bulk 2023.17 has moved to Research & ID 09-08-2023
Dual Service Bulk Submission has been assigned Dual Service Bulk 2023.17 08-18-2023
Received at PCS : 0434351 08-12-2023

Stuck for 2 months without even going to grading. Obviously not the upgraded level, but vastly slower than any other subs I've been in.

That one is still within their turnaround time. They quote Dual Service Bulk as being 75 business days and the clock starts when it moves to Research and ID. They have to authenticate/grade the auto first before it moves to the card grading process.

What in the world is going on with Bulk 2023.409? This is the first time I've ever had grades pop (15 Nov) and then it take this long for PSA to ship to you guys.

It looks like we popped this yesterday. We pop the grades/invoice you guys the day before it arrives back to our office.

I submitted my first ever 20 cards for grading as a part of bulk submission 2023.420 and somehow got a 10 for 19 of them.

Wanted to say a big thanks to the PC Sportscards teams for all of their YouTube videos, particularly their $1000 grading challenge ones. It really gave me an idea of what to look for when submitting cards and they played a big part in my selection process. Looking forward to submitting a bunch more in the near future.
