Based on various posts shared as well as my recent experience, it looks like bulk/value orders that arrived at PSA in early February and with entered/research&ID dates in early April are now hitting grading (had 4 bulk orders go into Grading this week that had entered/research&Id of early April).

Bulk/value orders that are two months or so earlier than the above time frame (meaning orders with entered/research&Id date around early February) are showing completion. Based on that, I estimate the bulk/value orders with research&Id date in early April to be completed late December/early January 2022. That leads me to believe PSA will get into their last big of backlogged orders before the shut down, all the orders sent to them in March 2021, starting mid-January.

I think it is conceivable that PSA will open up a sub $150 level in January (before completing grading their final backlog)...but value/bulk won't come back until they have a decent idea how much cards they get with the sub $150 level ($125? $100?) and also at what price (so probably Q2 at the earliest).

The end is getting closer at least with all the backlogged bulk/valued orders submitted by individuals from earlier this year before the end of March shutdown (can't speak for non bulk/valued orders or orders sent through group submitters). Have 10 more bulk/value orders to go, about 1000 cards. Will have to see how future value pricing will be and how the buyers market looks next year which currently is weak.

Brutal! 38% gem rate. Got the G.O.D for sure. I'm not that bad...for real, I'm NOT that bad! Argh, can't wait to get them back...

My ultra modern bulk sub has followed pretty much the identical dates as yours’, but still waiting for it to ship. Q&A 2 was 10/27 for me too, so hopefully we got a different grader!

Yeah, I think I got that guy for my UM Bulk that was a 1/27/21 research went to assembly on 10/11/21. 44% gem rate with 3 8s on 2018 optic basketball!

8 card express, logged and arrived on 10/21 and completed today. So I guess things have slowed down a hair, but 11 days still isn't too bad.

I imagine we'll see these turnarounds start to lag when/if Standard opens on Dec 1st.

Dumb question, but where do you go to get that detailed view of the process with the dates?

You track it yourself.

After you log into your account, under My Account, you will see a list of all your order(s) showing the Arrived and Entered dates but nothing else until the order ships. When the order hits Grading, you should get an email from PSA.

As for the other stages, people check the individual order (open up a specific order number and look on a daily basis to see if the tracker has moved a stage).

Congrats on those! I just sent in 8 myself at the express level along with two gold star umbreons and two gold mews. Were you expecting all 10's? I would be happy it half of mine did. They all looked nice except some centering on a few. I saw the gem rate so far was around 75% so I sent them all in. Figured even if they got 9's I could roughly break even.

I always hate to say 'expecting', but at $150/per I hate to send anything in that I'm not pretty sure about. I have a bunch of those borderline types as well, and I should probably send those in too if I think they have a 20% chance, but I think I might just hold on to them and give them a go once grading fees return to Earth.

When you say “list gone” does that generally mean grades are about to pop?

Very close…

Used to be that way. My list disappeared on a Value Modern order at a minimum last Thursday and I'm still waiting. I hadn't checked the order for about 10 days so not sure when it actually disappeared but its been gone since the morning of October 28th when I logged in and saw it went from Grading to QA2. I've never been in the list gone purgatory for this long before. My last order, it was gone for about 48 hours then I got upcharged. Don't think anything was upcharge worthy in this order so not sure what the holdup is.

Congrats! My list disappeared yesterday last night so I’m eagerly anticipating my grades today.

Yeah, it should be anytime now. I didn't know that PSA is a 24/7 operation! They spit out these grades/emails at all hours of the day and night! That's great to see!

Been in QA2 since Friday. List gone since Monday, still nothing. Hopefully you don't get lost in QA2 like it seems I did.

Still in QA2! was hoping to see some grade poppage but now just playing the waiting game. Been refreshing my account page all day. Sigh. Mine is a 14 card express order so nothing too crazy. How many cards you have graded?

Mine is a 49 card bulk order delivered on 12/3 and "received" on 2/1

[HalfNipponese]

Is 5 weeks in assembly normal for a Bulk Modern order? I don't mind the wait since they're all PC cards but I'm starting to worry something got damaged. Delivered to PSA on 9/25/20 and "received" on 1/25/21. Cards have been in assembly since 9/30/21.
