This page stopped showing the old status around July 8th or 9th. I had been checking on my computer and phone without issue up until then and now goes to account page on both. So not a browser issue, PSA must have decided to make that status screen no longer accessible.

UPDATE: All orders are now finished with Assembly, however, none have yet moved to grades ready. That seems like it should be a more automated process??? Either way, moving much faster than I originally anticipated for several of the larger orders.

The run of Gabriel Moreno Transcendent Chrome Variations (/25, /10, /5, /1) all gemmed. A few different parallels of the Wemby Mezzanine that gemmed. And a few Robert Calaz autos (2 Ref + Purple) that gemmed. The rest were 2024 Bowman Parallels/Autos that gemmed or got 9s.

Nothing massive, but some good ones. The run of Gabriel Moreno Chrome Variations is really cool.

Same. Much lower Gem % on my most recent order, and they damaged a Shohei on me. Wasn't a big card but it was a RC that was a 10 and turned into a 3 during encapsulation. Wondering if the order was also mishandled in general between damage and low GEM%. I'll have to scrutinize when it arrives back.

what are they going to do to correct that for you?

2 questions:

1) Any idea what current time frames look on dual service? I sent two in back in early June that are still in research and ID.

2) Anyone ever had conflicting info? Another value standard order that was shipping in same package as the above referenced dual order went to grading on 07/03 and both the app and website updated to “Assembly” as of 24 hours ago, but when you click on both to see additional details it still says status: “Grading.”

Just got the upcharge email on this one. The Paul Skenes 2024 Bowman Mega Green Auto got a 10 so they bumped it up to a $99 grading fee. Not complaining.

Nope, a mix of 2024 baseball and basketball. I combo shipped this order along with a single card order that I had graded through the regular 10 day service. My guess is that's what expedited the process.

I think listing these out does show others how many of us are impacted by PSA's slowness. To me, it's not really the estimated date that gets me, it's more so how long orders sit in each phase and then just stall out at assembly. Also how some orders are expedited over others that were received well after the others.

This is very telling. Tons of orders sitting for grades to pop. Interesting that this would be a pinch-point, as you would think this is one of the simpler steps after the information has already been obtained.

I wonder if grader notes have had an impact on these turnaround times. I know these are only happening at Express and higher levels, but it’s hard to imagine the process coming to a screeching halt like this without some type of process adjustment causing it.

Edit: They gave me declared value and didn't charge for the grading. I had to beg for a $30 voucher beyond that and I had them return it as a 3. The whole declared value BS has been beat on here but if a card is damaged they should be providing replacement cost of the would have been graded value, regardless. Otherwise you have to have perfect predictions of grades and/or over insure for a PSA 10 every time. And if it's not a PSA 10, they don't return any overpayment in insurance. It's the one major part of PSA I cannot stand.

"Fair Market Value up to the Declared Value of the item. In no event shall the total liability exceed the declared value of the item"

Finally popped, but the grader was tough. Just a little over 40% when I’m typically 60-70%. There were definitely some that I knew wouldn’t gem with most of them being from the 90’s, but quite a few others that I knew were gem but graded a 9. Oh well, still a fun and nostalgic sub!

I do wish PSA would offer more visibility why orders stall at certain points and why some fly through or maybe their tracking system really isn't that accurate. I know I have had to reach out to the customer service team to ask what the hold up was and then miraculously there would be updates, but it doesn't feel right people need to do that to move an order along either.
