    Here's my question; I have 1 card that I was thinking about sending in as express {10 day} $75.00 fee; because I want it back quickly, prior to basketball playoffs ending; if they end up holding it for 30 days before they even acknowledge it; than what am I paying for.

    I sent two cards in express, picked up by PSA the 17th and logged on the 19th and in grading the 20th.

    Man, not sure how you can properly assess a card in 10 seconds..I often scour over cards for 2-3 minutes deciding whether it has all the qualities to be a PSA 10...no way I could grade most cards in 10 seconds...I need at least a minute to look at 8 corners, 8 borders, centering, both surfaces, etc...I would be flabbergasted if graders are doing cards in 10 seconds...

    Good lord! I hope it takes at least 10 seconds to get out if the card saver.

    I send in an submission every few days. Prior to COVID they were getting about 300 a day. Now they are over 1000 and some weeks it has been 1200. I have over 50 orders in since may first that are 45 day bulk preferred. None have moved out of research. I do not think they are grading any bulk That is not extremely old and the preferred customers are not getting any preferred service. They have a mess!

    agree....I see no possible way cards can be graded in under 30 seconds...I still think a minute is the time I would require to be assured I looked carefully at all corners, edges, centering and surfaces...so if the average is a minute per card, it is going to be a llllloooonnnngggg time to deal with the current backlog of cards at PSA...
