Running PSA Order Tracker

Once the green checkmark is there, the cards are definitely already in slabs and scanned. There is a discord you can join that lets you see the pictures and grades early. So, no idea what the holdup is for this order, but everything is likely done.

Do you know what that Discord is called or have a link to it?

The green check mark means complete.

Here's another order still in "Research & ID" and when it's "in process" the icon shows a blue clock/watch icon to show



It's currently in "Research & ID" but not complete, which explains the blue icon status. When it changes to a green check mark, that is supposed to mean a completed step, like the other green check marks.

Just got absolutely slaughtered on a Modern order and no idea what I did wrong or if just got the grader from hell. Previous low was probably 45-50% gemrate, went 5 for 24 on this order including the lowest graded Rashee Rice Prizm Orange Disco in existence. Just when I was starting to feel like I had a decent handle on grading and trying to make decent profits.

Kinda got hammered on a couple (6 & 7) and I have no idea why they looked better than my 9. I'll crack those two and see what the deal is. It was my very first submission. Not too bad for cards I had since I was a kid. Some of the 8s are highest grades...die cut I guess are tough lol
2-10s
9-9s
6-8s
1-7.5
1-7
1-6

All this talk of bad results, plus the one I had, is really making me nervous about the NBA special I have in grading right now.

Yeah, I just got smashed on a TCG sub, 45% gem rate for modern TCG is atrocious.

I figure this would be the right thread for it but i have never submitted to PSA before. I was looking at building my first sub and was wondering if the Collectors club subscription would be worth it? I would think the CL sub and the break credits would more than cover but wanted some opinions from people that already subscribe.

15%, 20 cards, 3 gems, 4 8’s; all pulled fresh from the box. I compared them to the 10’s up for sale and they looked exactly the same. Cards came rounded, so there couldn’t be corner issues, edges were sharp, centering was 50/50. The grader is a joke. If it was worth resubbing, I’d resub every non-10. It was simple incompetence.

Went 5/7 on 10s, with a 9 and 8. Sorta expected the 9, the 8 was on a Elly Topps Chrome RC so either I missed something on the surface or they're just being super strict with his stuff rn. I'll take 5/7 though. Have an August NBA special that got there a week and a half ago but still hasn't been entered into the system yet.

I hope so. Lost thousands on this. I would have guessed 4-5 10s

Sorry to hear that. They really need to roll out notes on all subs. How they've been able to go this long without having to justify their grades is crazy to me.

Just got back my 20 card order, 3 10s and the rest 8s and 9s. Ugh, really hope my other subs aren’t graded by this guy.

Right there with you. Just got a 14-card order back with only two 10's. Every other card graded at least one grade lower than what I was expecting. NJ graders.

Just wanted to chime in and say thank you! Worked for me as I got to see two cards that have been in green assembly now for two weeks but still aren’t showing grades ready! Pleasantly surprised on one of them (got an 8 and I really thought and 8 was best case scenario). Another card got a 9 which didn’t surprise me though I thought it might 10.

What do you type in to see your submission grades?
