I sent through Ludkins Collectables, so I don't know if the list disappeared. But they do have a live tracker and it's been stuck at QA2 for a while. I was notified of upcharge last monday, so over a week and half ago. Even if there was a couple days of delay by Ludkins to pay PSA, it shouldn't take this long.

That being said, this is one of the slower service but from what I remember, it doesn't matter that much once it's at the last couple steps.

Only one day in Q2 for order 1. 15/20 gems, though only 2/5 on the only cards with a raw value of >$50. I'll still take it every time

Less than one day in Q2 for order 2. 10/20 gems, so not great. 5/12 on sapphire cards including only 2/5 on Duran sapphire autos, 1/5 on sapphire base, oof

I think there is one more stage "Grades Ready" before shipping. So, I don't shipping is behind...the "Grades Ready" guy is behind! lol

At this point I think I am going to be up charged for something. I never got caught in this disappeared list for days before. The only thing I can think of is one of my 1992 Shaq's got a PSA 10 (Topps Gold or Upper Deck) or one of my 1975 Robin Yount, 1979 Ozzie Smith, or 1980 Rickey Henderson got a PSA 9. I though all of them could get a PSA 8, so it is a possibility. I haven't been up charged before even with a PSA 10 1988 Rodman or a 1984 Fleer Update Kirby Puckett. So I thought it would have to be something extreme. Or I am just impatient and the "Grades Ready" guy is just screwing with me watching me log onto the site 30 times a day.

Same here! QA2 on Monday, got up charge email midday Monday and nothing since. At least the email showed the grade so don’t have to sweat it.

When a sub moves a step, is that in real time or reflected in a random system update? Just curious.

Well I got the email for the up charges for my bulk order. I got four of them.

1991 Upper Deck SP1 PSA 10 - $10 Up charge
1987 Fleer Michael Jordan PSA 7 - $10 up charge
1992 Topps Shaq Topps Gold PSA 10 - $65 up charge
1996 Upper Deck Kobe Bryant PSA 10 - $10 up charge

I had to look at my cards and I won't be surprised now. However, I got great grades for the most part! Can't wait to share the rest with everyone and make some trades. I got two PSA 10 regular Topps Shaq rookies as well.

That’s awesome. How did the Rickey Henderson rookie do?

PSA 8 on the Rickey. What I expected. The Ozzie I thought would get an 8 was a 7 and the Yount that I thought could get a 8 or 9 was not graded as a N6. Will have to check that out when it gets back. Some of my older cards I was happy with are as follows. BTW, these were mainly eBay purchases. I have an eye for eBay cards!

1982 Lawrence Taylor PSA 8
1975 Robin Yount PSA 7
1976 Dennis Eckersley - PSA 6 (I knew it would grade this with one bad corner. The centering is amazing on this card though)
1977 Rookie Outfielders Dawson PSA 8
1978 Eddie Murray PSA 8
1979 Ozzie Smith PSA 6 and PSA 7
1980 Rickey Henderson PSA 8
1984 Topps Don Mattingly PSA 8, PSA 9, PSA 9
1981 Topps Kevin McHale PSA 8 and PSA 9

Out of my 13 Shaq rookie I got nine PSA 9's and four PSA 10's. Really happy with the order, but I sent in some nice cards and I was picky.

Interesting, maybe they're indeed having a delay shipping cards out.

I received the up charge email at 8:55 pm PT and they released the hold and replied past midnight at 12:05 AM. This was a regular PSA employee, they are working more than just 9 to 5.

I think they have night shifts now. They are working around the clock.

You will probably get an up charge email sometime today. They gave me four of them, so I think they are doing this more frequently.

Sadly, none of my cards are "up-charge-worthy"...at least I don't think so!

Mine has been stuck in QA2 for almost 2 weeks since upcharge (not express though). Very frustrating because it's so close and it's something I've been looking forward to for so long.
