Got all of my 90s-current special cards back. First time I have ever graded modern cards. Didn't know what to expect, but I think I did pretty well. 202 total cards over 3 batches

PSA 10: 151
PSA 9: 50
PSA 8: 1

Not great but not bad. Definitely happy with those that gemmed. A few too many 9s. Bummed about the Tony Hawk. I think the 9s on the 2003s are fair towards the bottom so can't complain with those but I thought the others had a real shot at a 10.

Not too bad!

I got both my 22 card orders back.

10’s: 38
9’s: 6

I purposely put 4 9’s in so really only missed on 2.

Could people start posting if they are vaulting or getting cards shipped back to them? I think it would be interesting to see if PSA is prioritizing vaulted cards.

How long are folks seeing for Value Bulk orders to go from Arrived to Entered? I was sitting at 2 weeks for last 2 orders and now I'm just at 3 weeks for a 40 card Value Bulk order that arrived 8/2 but hasn't been entered yet.

This is all PC stuff, so don't judge too harshly.

The good: Purdy! and a 1994 Bowman card! Super Bowl Sigs!

The bad: Some of those NTs were graded tough.

The McVay came out of a sealed set as it was issued? It was a nerd sub anyway, I won't retry. Maybe they are just cut small.

I sent in a 1980's special, 105 cards...PSA arrived 7/26, and then entered for processing on 8/16 (so 22 calendar days, 15 business days).

How is PSA customer service with a shoddy job of putting the card inside the case? The picture on the order that just popped looks like they used the baggy and it bunched up inside the case. It's absolutely awful looking. Hope it's just a bad picture because if it actually looks like that it's trash. I actually don't mind the baggy if done right, but this is not done right.

I haven't gotten the cards back yet (they are in transit). But if it's as bad as it looks, will PSA actually do something about it? Anyone had this experience.

If it's a smaller card that doesn't fit a standard case, it is what it is, usually. Pic?
