I cracked 7 slabs from previous orders and in two recent orders they came in, 3 of them came back as 10s. It is what it is

Anyone have orders stuck in Grading for awhile? I have two orders (12 and 23 cards) that have been stuck in Grading for about 2 1/2 weeks.

Sent in a TCG order at $14.99 (due to incoming price increase), arrived at PSA on 1/24 and order was entered the same day. 16 days later and it hasn't even moved to Order Prep yet...

I have a TCG order that arrived on 12/26 and is still in Research & ID, and another that arrived on 1/21 and still only showing as Order Arrived.

Wow! Very discouraging, they should at least update their estimated turnaround times to not deceive submitters.

The Nov 15-30 order was a bloodbath. What would have been the two most valuable cards which I expected to be an 8 or 9 and 9 or 10 were a 5 and 7 respectively. Fingers crossed I don’t have the same grader as that Dual order has my 2 favorite cards in my PC.

Makes sense to remind everyone that you were the one who received the order of 1 PSA 10 in a 65-card modern order (or something close to this). Someone who clearly knows what to look for getting 3 orders of 80% gem rates.

I never got 1 PSA 10 in a 65 card order. My lowest gem rate in the last year was probably 40%.

Oops, sorry. I thought that was you. Someone on here who submits regularly had that sub.

In all honesty though, if all graders were following the scale properly, there shouldn’t be a huge discrepancy. 80% gem rate on some orders, 40% on others—same quality of cards. We talk about “that bad grader” at PSA, but why don’t they do something about that grader (it’s likely multiple people)—or replace everyone else who doesn’t grade that way? Why do we allow the discrepancy to just continue? Is the final product a PSA-brand grade or a grader-specific grade? Seriously! Fix whoever is wrong!

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

three 10s, six 9s, one 8 and OF COURSE a random 6 (!?!?!?).

Grades landed right about where I needed them to.

Had this order pop today. Turned out alright with a wide range of grades but all fairly as expected with even a few better. Best of all there were several $1200-$1800 range results and no upgrade charges on the vintage bulk special.
