PSA is doing a great job taking 2+ months to finish orders and giving everyone 8’s.

First bulk grades popped (while the rest are still in Research, bizarre)

13 10's
4 9's
1 PSA 8
1 PSA 6 (I have no idea)
1 PSA 5 (I have no idea)

I'll take 65% gems given what I've seen on here recently. The PSA before and after scans of the 5 and 6 don't show any obvious issues, so either I completely missed an indent/crease or I don't know. I've never had any get a 5 or 6 before so I'm curious to see them.

I usually send multiple orders in the same package to save a few bucks on shipping. I just had a package where one of the orders popped up in the system as arrived a couple of days ago, but the second order in the same box has not appeared yet. Up until now they've always appeared at the same time. Has anyone else run into this?

Did you use the combined scanned code label? Once that one label is scanned it should recognize all of your orders in the same box.

That makes sense, and I did put the combined label on it. Starting to get nervous about it since you've pointed that out.

Has anyone had any experience submitting an order to PSA and having them listing it up for auction for you on eBay? How long was it until PSA paid out the sales?

2020-Present Holiday Special, 10 Cards
Arrived at PSA December 12.

All football, all Niners.

I did not feel particularly confident about any of these, well, maybe one... Expected lots of 9s or less. We'll see.

Express 1 card order sent out by my LCS on 11/18. It popped earlier this week and delivered and picked up by me today on 12/13.

I would have sent it myself at a lower level if I knew it was going to take this long (even factoring in the Thanksgiving holiday).

23/28 gem, the rest 9. I figured three of the 9 that were 1983 Topps A-Team cards would get that grade. Hopefully similar results on my big sub that could pop in the next couple weeks.

Bulk order finally completed and shipped today. 3 months.

Still can’t get over the fact that I live in New Jersey, ship the cards cross country to Cali. Only to have them shipped to jersey city, NJ to be graded.

Yes, I do it all the time. Once the buyer pays PSA, you get an e-mail immediately and usually money in my account in a few days.

My 1980-1999 Special (10 card order) arrived on the exact same day as yours (November 27th).

Typical PSA for me, it's not even entered into the system yet. Not sure how you got them completed so quickly, but I probably won't get my cards back until February of 2025 at this rate.

Are they supposed to give you better grades because of how long it takes? Have you seen the numbers that they grade every single day?
