Just got email that my first order (entered 9/4/2020 economy) is enroute! I peeked at the first card -1981 Larry Bird PSA 7. I'll wait to see the other 17 when the box arrives.
I am curious to the grading of the Yaz rookie. I saw a PSA 7 (PD) on eBay which had ink marks throughout front of card. Mine had a small dot in top right. I read where if it's small enough a PD isn't given.
Gretzky,Ripken, and Sandberg collection. Still trying to complete 1975 Topps baseball set from when I was a kid.

Not grade-poppage related but I'm super stoked about picking up complete sets of 78, 79, 81, 82, 84 (x3), 86 (x2), 88 Topps sets as well as 89 score (x2), 89 Score suppl. (x2) and a 91 stadium club today. Found a guy locally selling some baseball sets and happened to ask if he had any football. He gave me this list and I snatched them all. All told I pulled out ~250 cards to review for the NFL HOF RC set or various set registries (all time team, SB MVP etc). Now if PSA can get caught up and offer a nice football special, I have a big box of stuff to send them!

Looks like its going to end up being a couple of months on the express and regular orders, so not bad. The 50 card value order was logged 8-17-20, so that's going to be about 8 months. Weird part is, I know its completed because one of the cards was damaged during assembly and they called me about it. That was about 2 weeks ago.
@soxaddict seems like I’ve heard an awful lot of “damaged during assembly” stories the last few months. Do they give you the card with a new grade and just comp or pay you for the original grade difference? That would seriously bum me out.

Waived the grading fee, and knocked off $10 shipping. Fortunately, it was an inexpensive card, so I wasn't terribly upset. However, it does make me wonder about a PSA 5 I received on my previous order.

Do they then regrade the card and send it to you as well? Was the value difference from the original grade (do you know orig grade) worth the grading fee + $10?

Sorry, Neil, yes I have to vilify you a little here ! Rendon is a really good 3B for the Angels and I can agree with Blurry on this, he is under rated, which is probably a good thing for Blurry. If it weren't for the "other guy" with a rc in that set Blurry might not have quite as many of those Rendon gold cards. I'd probably have a couple.
I still have an outside shot at finding one though...

btw: that other third baseman who shan't be named had a hellavu game yesterday against the nats!
anybody have any movement thus far today? haven't had any. and not complaining at all.
rather, just wondering if they've switched up the overall processing system. while the graders, grade perhaps it's all hands on deck for a full day of intake, next day processing, next day shipping. etc. obviously very specialized positions stay put.
but didn't "see" much action over the weekend or monday and then BAM tons of movement yesterday, then back to nothing for me today. again, not bitching. just wondering if i should have off days of constantly checking! 😉
eta: whatever has happened, it seems to be working. could just be the resources dedicated to daily intake shifted to processing w the shutdown, but either way kudos to making the right moves to get things outta the snail pace.
I got an email that my value order was received, even though it's been logged as received for nearly 2 months. Looking at my account today, I see that it's now moved research & ID.

They graded the card, came back a PSA 5. They gave me the option to have it slabbed or not. I chose not.

The 1955 parkhurst card was a PSA 7. The 1951 Parkhurst Rocket card was a PSA 6. The 1979 Topps Gretzky card was a PSA 7.

Update- my post from a few weeks ago promised some pictures. My main concern is not that I played the crack and resub game to bad results of worse grades, but that now the same card may go from PSA graded to altered.
Here's the 1955 Parkhurst #37 Rocket Richard card that PSA designated as trimmed after previously grading it a 7mc. This set was cut on a guillotine and has very specific edges. There are four distinct printings, and this Richard example is from the general and most common printing. On pack fresh examples, a bit of a rough cut disrupts the red in one of the borders more than the other, depending on the orientation of the card being cut. You can see the Richard has this rougher edge on the left edge. The top and bottom edges are cut leaving a different but distinguishable pattern, almost as if with small teeth considering the interruption of the red border. The top edge has that as well, but is not seen as clearly in the cream coloured edge.
This is one of the cleanest examples I've ever seen. The back is MC, but so are hundreds of 1955 Parkhurst cards in PSA 7 and PSA 8 holders.
It was in a PSA 7 MC holder, and I thought it could do better. Now I will contemplate other options for grading.

Had two value subs entered and go into research today. One modern one ultra modern in the same package. They arrived 2/24/21 so 7 weeks arrival to entry. They have cut that way down from 15 weeks back in January and early February.
Also had a CC sub pop yesterday, as did a lot of other people. Yesterday seemed to be a day filled with poppage.

You'll remember a few years ago there was a kerfuffle about someone altering cards so skillfully that he was able to get them into PSA holders and then consigning them out on eBay. It's not surprising that PSA is extra cautious on key cards to make sure that doesn't happen again. Not suggesting that you bought some of this person's cards, only suggesting that it makes a lot of sense for PSA to be extra cautious.

My First sub from 9/21/20 is now in Assembly. When and were can we go find what the grades are?
Praise be! I just had an Economy that was entered 09/18 move from Grading to QA1 today. It had been sitting in Grading for about 5 months now. Although, I have to admit I am gun shy regarding the grades I'll receive these days. Mentally preparing now...
My CC Renewal is older than yours. Yet yours is farther along than mine. Is there really no rhyme nor reason to this?
Mine arrived 9/1 (later), entered 9/24 (same day) and hit grading on 10/4 (earlier) but is still in grading. I would say there is little rhyme or reason beyond date logged just getting progressed. I'm hoping that I see movement on mine in the next few days and that the graders felt compelled to lean to the higher grade if it was questionable!

Boom! I received the upcharge email this morning on my five card regular submission this morning.
"I am writing on behalf of PSA regarding submission # 10501513 (attached). This submission contains 1 card(s) that do not qualify for the $50 fee due to their graded value. We understand that you had no way of knowing the grade(s); however, when the value does exceed the limit for the fee you originally selected, we must make the proper adjustments.
Please see the attached printout of your submission with the correct fees noted in the right column.
In order to complete the process, we will need your approval to charge the correct amount of $429.00. Please reply to this email at your earliest convenience."
Congrats on the upcharge! Do you remember when your five-card regular moved out of grading? I'm waiting on a two-card regular that was entered 3/8 (ten days after yours) and went into grading on 3/9.
To answer the "anyone see anything lately" post looks like they did exactly what you posted @blurryface - switched it up to processing. I had 16 orders that sat months all get put in the last 2 days. Still no movement on any of my prior mentioned bulks/economy stuff. I check once a day now I don't even bother with the extra peeks I used to do.
They'd be wise to stay closed until SEPT. Treading water yes, but progress- not based on the 2 weeks of CTD evaluations I am seeing. Not when the old economy subs which averaged 47 business in 2020 currently hit 135-150 business and we wont even discuss bulk. Or regulars that take 30 business just to "enter". Walk through's taking a week to log ? Yeah no= just stay closed another few months later is fine and catch stuff at least up to Jan 2021 when the end of Covid $$ subs will be in sight . My stuffs been out so long already the hoop I sent in last year already is in its 2nd hoop season there ,it can wait until 2021-22 season now.
Oh- anyone see the ESPN article ?? Pimps & ho's already screaming bloody murder already and we are just 2 weeks in. Thoughts ??
Neil = Rendon's = if you're going to do Rendon, I'd suggest picking up his Heritage Real One autos . Just saying
Personally not sold on glass boy. If he moves to 1B and they make Capt Hobble ride the pine as DH- then yeah, maybe plop a few thousand down on some of his stuff. Right now- no due to the position they are having him play. He had ankle surgery in college, knee surgery in 2015- no way. Sorry been thru both ,and he's got to move to 1B, otherwise- one bad play away from cards permanently tanking. I invest in something of his its short term only, not long term -unless its autos that set collectors value.

My 'opinion" of course --
jeff
im pretty sure thats what they did. i still have about 120 different subs of all years and types. ive noticed that all the bread (initial entering or popping) happens on certain days and then the meat & veggies (movement r&id - qa2) seem to happen on the others.
also have 30 or so subs thru pcs and the activity there also mirrors what im seeing on my self-subs.
only thing that seems to be happening on everyday of the week is shipping. ive had that happen just about everyday BUT its been taking anywhere from 2 - 9 days to actually get shipped. i would imagine theres only a couple dozen folks trusted in that department which would explain the delay if they all of a sudden have tons of orders popping now.

keep a tally on the number of days before it actually pops. right now guessing about 4 days and then another 3 to actually ship after that.

Just got email that my first order (entered 9/4/2020 economy) is enroute! I peeked at the first card -1981 Larry Bird PSA 7. I'll wait to see the other 17 when the box arrives.
I am curious to the grading of the Yaz rookie. I saw a PSA 7 (PD) on eBay which had ink marks throughout front of card. Mine had a small dot in top right. I read where if it's small enough a PD isn't given.
Gretzky,Ripken, and Sandberg collection. Still trying to complete 1975 Topps baseball set from when I was a kid.
>
I know I'll get Villified here, probably have Torches and Pitch Forks outside the Home tonight!
But, Who The He!! is Anthony Rendon........Seriously?, I have Never even Heard of him!
YeeHaw!
Neil
as 76collector and i both agree, obviously the best kept secret & 3rd basemen in the league!
Not grade-poppage related but I'm super stoked about picking up complete sets of 78, 79, 81, 82, 84 (x3), 86 (x2), 88 Topps sets as well as 89 score (x2), 89 Score suppl. (x2) and a 91 stadium club today. Found a guy locally selling some baseball sets and happened to ask if he had any football. He gave me this list and I snatched them all. All told I pulled out ~250 cards to review for the NFL HOF RC set or various set registries (all time team, SB MVP etc). Now if PSA can get caught up and offer a nice football special, I have a big box of stuff to send them!

@soxaddict getting close on a few!
Looks like its going to end up being a couple of months on the express and regular orders, so not bad. The 50 card value order was logged 8-17-20, so that's going to be about 8 months. Weird part is, I know its completed because one of the cards was damaged during assembly and they called me about it. That was about 2 weeks ago.
@soxaddict seems like I’ve heard an awful lot of “damaged during assembly” stories the last few months. Do they give you the card with a new grade and just comp or pay you for the original grade difference? That would seriously bum me out.
Waived the grading fee, and knocked off $10 shipping. Fortunately, it was an inexpensive card, so I wasn't terribly upset. However, it does make me wonder about a PSA 5 I received on my previous order.
Do they then regrade the card and send it to you as well? Was the value difference from the original grade (do you know orig grade) worth the grading fee + $10?
Sorry, Neil, yes I have to vilify you a little here ! Rendon is a really good 3B for the Angels and I can agree with Blurry on this, he is under rated, which is probably a good thing for Blurry. If it weren't for the "other guy" with a rc in that set Blurry might not have quite as many of those Rendon gold cards. I'd probably have a couple.
I still have an outside shot at finding one though...

Nothing here. Regular that arrived 3/3, entered 3/8, grading 3/9 and...zilch.
Nada. Mine are all Economy though so I know I am sitting in the nosebleed section.
Still hanging at QA2 Status since the other day
I got an email that my value order was received, even though it's been logged as received for nearly 2 months. Looking at my account today, I see that it's now moved research & ID.
They graded the card, came back a PSA 5. They gave me the option to have it slabbed or not. I chose not.

Update- my post from a few weeks ago promised some pictures. My main concern is not that I played the crack and resub game to bad results of worse grades, but that now the same card may go from PSA graded to altered.
Here's the 1955 Parkhurst #37 Rocket Richard card that PSA designated as trimmed after previously grading it a 7mc. This set was cut on a guillotine and has very specific edges. There are four distinct printings, and this Richard example is from the general and most common printing. On pack fresh examples, a bit of a rough cut disrupts the red in one of the borders more than the other, depending on the orientation of the card being cut. You can see the Richard has this rougher edge on the left edge. The top and bottom edges are cut leaving a different but distinguishable pattern, almost as if with small teeth considering the interruption of the red border. The top edge has that as well, but is not seen as clearly in the cream coloured edge.
This is one of the cleanest examples I've ever seen. The back is MC, but so are hundreds of 1955 Parkhurst cards in PSA 7 and PSA 8 holders.
It was in a PSA 7 MC holder, and I thought it could do better. Now I will contemplate other options for grading.
Had two value subs entered and go into research today. One modern one ultra modern in the same package. They arrived 2/24/21 so 7 weeks arrival to entry. They have cut that way down from 15 weeks back in January and early February.
Also had a CC sub pop yesterday, as did a lot of other people. Yesterday seemed to be a day filled with poppage.
@parthur1607 my subs delivered 2/24 were enereres 4/7 and 4/9. When was your CC SiB entered? I have one from 9/28 I’m waiting on.
Monster. Congrats
It was entered 9/23. It hit Assembly last Friday, QA1 Monday and popped yesterday. You shouldn’t have to wait much longer!
You'll remember a few years ago there was a kerfuffle about someone altering cards so skillfully that he was able to get them into PSA holders and then consigning them out on eBay. It's not surprising that PSA is extra cautious on key cards to make sure that doesn't happen again. Not suggesting that you bought some of this person's cards, only suggesting that it makes a lot of sense for PSA to be extra cautious.
My First sub from 9/21/20 is now in Assembly. When and were can we go find what the grades are?
Praise be! I just had an Economy that was entered 09/18 move from Grading to QA1 today. It had been sitting in Grading for about 5 months now. Although, I have to admit I am gun shy regarding the grades I'll receive these days. Mentally preparing now...
