Running PSA Order Tracker

I only submitted what I thought was a 10 or at worst a 9.

The grades:
10's - 5
9's - 12
8's - 8
7's - 1
6's - 3
5's - 1

The cards could be graded correctly. I had the same thing happen to me and I had three 5's that PSA bent the corners. Completely correct grades, but damage somewhere in their process. SGC and CGC will get my cards from now on. PSA has gotten too big for any type of consistency, employee monitoring, and I believe that something is going on in their automated process that is damaging our cards.

How long do cards typically sit in QA after grading? My grades popped on Wednesday and have been in QA for two days though on previous orders my cards seemed to jump from Grading to shipping within a day - just trying to manage expectations since I don't grade a whole lot.

Not very long in my experience. A day or two. But with everything being backed up maybe it's taking longer.

Can confirm they are in fact NOT speeding through orders. My 23 card TCG Bulk order went to R&ID on 4/1, and remains in R&ID.

I will echo this. My sub that went into R&ID on 4/4 is still there as well.
PSA really could use some better organization processes. Having orders that arrive almost a month later than others in the same tier really shouldn't be a month ahead of the others.

I have had orders sit in QA for up to two weeks. PSA has no process how they churn out orders so all you can do is be patient unfortunately. It is quite frustrating of course when you have other orders that zip through the process and then some orders just sit with little to no movement.

Yeah, mine's been in R/ID since 4/7. PSA moves things in batches, so I'm guessing we're all going to see an update around the same time soon. I'd give it another week.

Hoping this one pops soon. I shipped it in the same box with a value bulk sub and both entered research and id within a day of each other. I know it's been mentioned before but solid way to skip a long time sitting in received

66/80 Gem, the rest 9. Grader must hate the Phillies. All the Bryce Harper cards were 9 while all the Judge were 10.

Being stuck in research and ID is for amateurs, the pros get stuck in Assembly!

No kidding. Currently 4 weeks in assembly for a pre-1980 bulk order.

You're lucky they got this order done relatively quickly, mine arrived on 3/10 and still in research and I.D.

Seems a number of us are in that spot. 3/7 for one of my orders, and still in R&ID

I have an order that arrived on 3/7, went into R&D on 4/4 and is still there. I imagine now that I’ve posted this it’ll go into grading before the week is done, lol.

Sending/receiving ~250 cards from PSA was quite the journey, though to be fair I had so many cards that I just never bothered submitting all through the pandemic years so it was definitely an outlier of a submission. I doubt i'll ever send that many in again all at once, lol.

This batch of 50 that just entered grading today is probably my last PSA rodeo for a long, long while unless they have some sort of crazy special (i'm lucky it was submitted before the price/business days increase).

Does PSA not grade Absolute Football Glass cards? I only see BGS graded ones on eBay.

Not sure what years they've been made, but they do have some graded from 2017:

Looks like that one is just a couple days before mine showed up and went into order prep and R&ID. Fingers crossed for grading next week!
