You can't see the grade until it reaches stage 8. They will send you an email letting you know that your grades are available to see.

actually, it's a little sooner than that. There seems to be a day or two day delay in shipping right now. I would actually say when they charge your credit card.

So mine popped!

Order type: Regular
2 cards
received per PSA: 8/28/19
order popped: 10/15/19

Overall, I’m OK with the grades. For one of them I received an 8 OC but was expecting a 6, is that something I should be OK with? Since I’m still a newbie with grading, was there an option on the form to NOT have a qualifier?

My last two orders hit the SHIPPED stage and grades could be viewed...but in terms of the order actually being moved forward by my shipping company (Fedex), it was the next day after I saw my grades. Supposedly, whoever does the shipping for PSA got my packages to FEDEX after the west coast deadline has been passed...so that the package didn't move until the next shipping day.

Yes, there's a "no qualifier" option, at least you know for next time.

Do you have any weird/odd ball cards? Sometimes that slows things down a bit.

This feels true. I had a bunch of stuff, local issues, college regional stuff... just takes time.

My last bulk sub was done in a few weeks! Loaded with duplicate 2018 Topps Update cards...I think that matters for PSA.

Submitted a card via my LCS who sends in bulk 1x per month. It popped maybe 2-3 weeks ago. How long does it generally take PSA to ship once the cards show up on POP report? Just general rule of thumb, no doubt it varies.

150 cards
received per USPS: 10/10/19
received per PSA: ????
order popped:

Still not showing as received. I would literally sub 100+ cards a month if the processing and turnaround was consistent.

Add a faster service turn around in the same box. I've never had a bulk opened the same day as a regular or express NOT get in the system the same day as those. I've noticed it speed it up by 1-2 weeks overall.

Been in research & ID for almost two months. I know there's still a long time until it's "due date," so certainly not complaining, it's just funny that it sits at that stage forever
Moved from Research to Assembly between Friday and today, so apparently it didn't take very long in the grading phase

I just had a 285 card order go through grading stage in 1 day. Hoping they just threw 10's on everything to push it through.

Its amazing how fast they can be at times, and how slow they can be at other times. I would love to get a behind the scenes tour of their operation.

Turnaround times are showing 40 days for regular submission. Insanity! Regular used to be like 10 days back in the day.

Wow, did you ever get an email that asked you to review your order to make sure the labels were correct?

Nope....

So I have no idea. They aren't "due" until mid-December, so I feel like there's at least a small chance that this was basically data entry error

Or I'll randomly just get grades one of these days. Curious to see when/if it moves to QC1


Edit: Also, I can't remember when in the process I got the list of labels for my last bulk order, but as of now, the list isn't present under my order on the PSA website

Finally popped today at 112 business days. Grades were mixed as per usual, but a few winners made it all worthwhile.
