Have a 3 card normal express order that's been stuck in the assembly check stage for a week now. First express order since grader's notes, original estimated completed date was 9/13

Grades popped, 56% gem rate, but 4/5 of my Wemby's got a PSA 10, so I'm good with that. Had one N3 for discoloration, which I bought raw off ebay. Didn't notice where they could have done that on a 2023 Bowman Chrome U card, but, oh well. Got destroyed on a 2007 McGrady Refractor that looked clean; it got a PSA 4. I'm gonna post pics for y'all to see cause PSA 4 gotta show darn near creased, which is impossible. Definitely gonna check for slab damage to the card.

If UD flagship, the products over the last couple of years is terrible. QC chipping means more 8’s than 9/10’s. I am no longer grading flagship

Does anyone know whether you can add all the cards you’re waiting to send then sort of only “apply” then once a special hits?

Theory: I might have time to add a few hundred cards into the system during a month but I don’t want to actually submit them until a special hits.

What do you guys think? I only became a PSA member one month ago, so I’m still learning strategy/protocol. Thanks!

As long as you don't SUBMIT the form, the form will sit on the system (I think but not positive that the form can sit indefinitely and not get deleted). If getting the cards graded in a timely fashion is not important to you, then you can wait for a special that would give you a discount on the cards you send...but time is money if you are looking to grade/flip the cards. Having the cards of a "hot" player to flip makes a huge difference. Once the buying frenzy ends, you may be stuck with that player's cards for a while waiting for another frenzy.

I'm looking forward to trying the Discord bot that reports grades while the cards are in assembly. Might be stuck in assembly for weeks but at least I'll know the grades early.

It worked for me.

I too have been stuck with a green check mark in assembly.

The card is a Sapphire Djokovic /25 Auto that got a 10. I submitted for regular service. I wonder if they are trying to upcharge it.

Does anyone have a new link to the discord bot to check grades? The old invite seem to have expired.

This link is configured to never expire. Links with default settings expire after 7 days.
