Running PSA Order Tracker

[izlo]

Will see how this order goes but if it's anything like what I'm reading from others here I'll cancel PSA membership next year and see how things are looking in 2027.

my regular order finished this past week and just shipped out on monday. The order underperformed like many others' orders; this order was shipped from NJ. I wonder if there is a correlation there because I usually have decent luck out of the CA office. I dropped it off at the chicago card show so maybe they shipped the regular orders to NJ instead of CA directly?

TCG or sports order? I know when they first opened the NJ office (1-2 years ago I think) it was mainly TCG orders getting routed there

My order was in grading for less than 24 hours and moved to Assembly. This seems to be where everyone is getting stuck. Hopefully with the order being behind the estimated completion date, it should speed up the process in theory!

CA has a reputation for being tough on vintage and easy on modern.

Opposite for NJ. Tough on modern.

TCG experience here.

I've seen many folks say the same that NJ is tough.

It worked just like I knew it would. What's funny is that on the main page it says it's in Assembly, but when I click on the Order # it says it's in Grading.

PSA's official statement on tariffs impact for International customers:

How New Tariff Regulations are Affecting PSA
Apr 2, 2025

Due to U.S. tariffs announced on Wednesday, April 2, PSA will be temporarily pausing the acceptance of PSA grading submissions directly to its U.S. facilities, including through PSAcard.com, from customers located in all countries outside of the United States. This is an expansion on previously announced restrictions on direct submissions coming from Canada, China, Hong Kong, and Mexico.

Why is PSA making this update?

PSA is reluctantly taking these measures to protect our international customers from significant tariff expenses. The newly imposed tariffs are against the value of the items in the order rather than on the PSA service fee. The table below provides an illustrative example of the tariff charges that would be incurred by customers, which is on top of PSA’s grading fees and shipping expenses.


Value of Order 10% Tariff 20% Tariff
$500 $50 $100
$5,000 $500 $1,000

For customers in Japan, all submissions to PSA must be submitted to our full-scale grading operation in Tokyo, which is not currently impacted. Please visit PSAcard.co.jp to learn more and begin submissions.

For customers in Canada, submissions can still be made by dropping off or sending cards to our official PSA Submission Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Please visit PSAcanada.ca to learn more about this process and download paper forms to create your submissions. Customers can also continue to submit via PSA Authorized Dealers in Canada.

We are currently working on solutions to allow our PSA customers outside of the United States, Japan, and Canada to continue submitting via PSA Authorized Dealers. We will soon provide updates on the resumption of submissions for customers impacted globally, as we are working on solutions in real time.

With this pause in place, customers outside of the United States will temporarily be unable to complete direct submissions in the Online Submission Center at PSAcard.com. Should any submissions be completed and sent to the U.S. from these countries, customers who send them will be financially responsible for any tariffs, duties, and other taxes incurred by PSA, as provided in Section 5 of our User Agreement.

Also, while these tariff regulations are in place, customers from outside of the U.S. who send graded cards to the PSA Vault for storage will also be responsible for any tariff charges incurred by PSA. Currently, shipping graded cards to the PSA Vault from outside of the U.S. is not encouraged.

We do apologize to our customers outside of the United States for this inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. We will provide further updates as they become available, as we strive to keep PSA authentication and grading services accessible to all collectors worldwide.

On the iOS app, both "In Progress Orders" already show the first view scan of the first card in the submission...one of which is a 1/1 PSA doesn't have in their image database, so it's definitely mine. Still says "images coming soon" on the app and "Your items are currently being reviewed and will appear here soon." on the web in the actual orders.

Edit: nvm pause due to tariffs already posted

March Value Max just got into R&ID. Was hoping the early March order would enter into that as well, but oh well.

[padremurph]

I grade pretty infrequently; so not sure if this is standard?

I submitted a regular dual service cross over with and dropped off to PSA in person. When submitting, the turnaround time for regular service was 20 biz days, but my submission on the website says turnaround time is 10 days? On the website, there’s no service level w 10 day turnaround time

Ultra modern sports for both orders. Not sure about where it was graded yet.

This eBay purchase of single non-auto ungraded card (cards that qualify for the authentication program) direct to grading after authentication service will cost $39.99 at the Value Plus service level.

Is this live? If I pretend to buy a card that qualifies nothing pops up? It just goes straight to confirm and buy. You guys seeing anything?

Just placed an AG item to cart and checkout...no option for the raw direct grading service appeared.

[CorndogWasp]

Is there an official press release for this? This seems odd. I talked to ebay on X yesterday and they have no idea.

It's legit. There are a few articles about it. Thankfully before April Fools day heh.

I think somebody shared a link earlier in the thread.

search up "PSA eBay raw card grading $250"

$250 is the value threshold

$250 is the value threshold. Does the item cost more than $250?

Ok...I tried it again...selected a $600 card raw/non-auto card which had the AG symbol...and the listing had 3 pics (criteria is 2 or more pics)...still no option to send to grading after AG clears at Checkout...guess they're still figuring it out.
