Even 10 days they won't - I made it a point to message them at 11 days because I was reading some people said 10 business days past could get you a voucher, so I did. Their response was the estimated date is just a projected date, and that sometimes it will finish before / after. Kick rocks pretty much lol.

Since when does PSA charge double for bulk crossover versus bulk raw? It’s been a year or so since I’ve submitted what with the cost increases and inconsistencies but I finally decided I’d pay the $25 per card only to find it’s $50 for crossovers. Weren’t those always the same as raw?

I had 2 value orders submitted back in early January and their estimated completion date was tomorrow, April 22nd. One is vintage and one is modern. Both are still sitting in assembly.

Amazing. Value bulk is finishing 3 mo ahead of schedule - 7 week turnaround. Happy of course, but I don’t understand PSA lol. I had an express in the same box, so maybe that helps some

My 11 year old hit a Jayden Daniels Silver Prizm, needless to say he was so excited. Of course he asked me to send it in for Grading, it's the biggest card he's ever hit and first card he's sent in. We don't rip too often just retail once in a while. Since we've sent it in he's asked me every single day did we get the grade yet? Talk about taking the wind out of his sails every time I give him the no look.

Good luck on the cross. Hopefully they didn’t just take a quick look, say nope and now charge you for Super Express.

Thanks. Not trying to get a 10, it's a SGC 8.5 that I'll be fine if it gets an 8. Just wanted to get it out of the SGC slab. But if it somehow miraculously gets higher than an 8 I'll gladly take it.

Good luck! I just tried a crossover from an SGC 9.5 and put MIN PSA grade 9 and got sent right back to me in the SGC slab lol.

My completion date is tmrw and I've been in QA for almost two weeks. Not holding my breath and if you ask them all they say is it's an estimated date. Meanwhile orders sent after mine have been completed and sent back lol. With all these athletes and celebrities getting into the Hobby I can't believe now one made a play at Beckett and they let Collectors grab it.

PSA has been extremely tough on Vintage lately. If you didn't put a min, I wouldn't be shocked if it came back a 6.

While I still have 3 weeks till my estimated date, I've been stuck in grading for over 3 months and am losing hope I will get my sub back by the estimated date.

Just moved to grading on my January bulk sports card order. One card has a scan but is labelled "NO GRADE, VOUCHER". I've never had this before. Does it mean they killed my card as part of the scanning process?
