Monster. Congrats
This was a PSA 10 crossover. Card was already graded PSA 10, Autograph was flawless, so I paid for the Auto grade. Super pumped now, but now I'm in an emotional stalemate on whether to keep or sell. I'm a huge Red Sox fan, and a huge Mookie fan. He went to high school about an hour away from me. I actually work with a Dr. that her son went to school with Mookie. I got to meet him when he was in A ball at Greeneville, super nice guy. Even then, you could tell from the sound of the bat he was going to be special.

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.
It went to assembly on the 13th, and QA Check 2 today with the upcharge email.

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.
The express order grades popped at 145AM CST on the 14th. Shipped at 331AM CST same day.

if they didn't image it then that would explain why it got out so fast. you'll be able to find out after about a week when you check the cert number. it will pop up if so.
my up charges lately have been requiring imaging (which is a great thing for the hobby, imo) and naturally that's been backed up too. currently have one that was done back on 4/8 at premium 1 level but still hasn't shipped bc it's "stuck in imaging".

Sigh. I sent a three-card express and four-card regular order to PSA in early March. The package was delivered on March 8, and PSA acknowledged receipt on March 15...and nothing since. Frustrating. Any improvement in CTDs means nothing if logging is taking so darn long. By comparison a five-card regular submission back in January was logged 10 days after they acknowledged receipt.
So question: why not calculate CTDs starting from the date receipt is acknowledged? Hopefully the answer isn’t simply that the results would look bad.

express. arrived 3/1 @ $150 a pop. not even logged. i feel ya.
premium 1 @ $1k a pop. arrived 4/7. popped 4/8. still not shipped.
regulars 1/27 @ $50 a pop when that was expensive. still not logged.
etc, etc, etc.
but alot of my older bulk and economy orders are moving, so i dont know whether to be happy or pissed. its interesting to say the least.
The sub is entirely 1978 O-Pee-Chee baseball for a registry set of mine. All of the cards (in the sub) have a population of less than 10 total graded, and some as low as only 3. I'm completely new to subbing this particular year and manufacturer, so I did this as a learning experience with low expectations. Given the difficulty of finding decent examples of this issue, I picked out examples that I thought would achieve a 7 or perhaps better.
@blurryface & @DEFPOTEC - I sent an email to customer service last week with the subject "do I have a problem order" and gave the submission number. I had a reply within a few hours and my regular order that was with 4 other orders but hadn't been logged was located and entered that same day. I know early March was when a tsunami of submissions hit so that could be part of it too, mine was received 2/24 and entered 4/7. Might be worth an email.
I am extremely pleased and relieved with these grades. I did not think any of these would grade higher than 8 (because of the centering and/or very faint PD) and they didn't, as expected.

I am hoping to continue the theme of poppage day as well. 2 in QA2. One is a 3 card Regular rec 2/9 logged 2:/24. I have 2 of the cards but the 3rd one is the most important to me. It is a 17 Optic Mahomes rc that my 8 year old nephew submitted. He got into collecting because of me, and in turn his Dad has gotten into it. I really want him to do well on that card!
The other is my higher end 80s sub 43 cards recvd 6/19 logged 8/13. I have waited a long time oh these cards and passed on buying them in the grades I wanted because I had them in grading.
Mixed results on my first sub that I received today in mail. Good: Barry Sanders Rookie 9, Lemieux Rookies 7 & 8. OK: Kelly and Young USFL 7's Disappointed: Yaz Rookie PSA 5. Very tough grading as many of you mentioned on 1986 Topps Traded Bonds (black borders) PSAs 8s was as high as I could get.
Gretzky,Ripken, and Sandberg collection. Still trying to complete 1975 Topps baseball set from when I was a kid.

I am thinking of starting up the HOF rc set again. If you decide to move the young and Kelly let me know. I like to fill the sets out then upgrade as funds and availability converse.

OK,@envoy982 I'll let you know.- I took them from a boxed set I had for a bit, and have the Hershel Walker and an Off-Centered Reggie White on another sub I'm waiting on.

Good luck I have major QA2 fatigue as one has been in that stage for 8 days. The other since the 12th.
They should take some of those employees that were receiving packages and teach them how to run credit cards.

Wow! Grades are in; Not so Wow! PSA has definitely gotten much stricter with grades based on my recent and past experiences. I honestly feel that every one of these cards should be one grade higher including the 9s (aside from the 4 which I MUST have missed something on).
Plus, I have always found it unfair that the graders seem to grade some cards (i.e., stars, HOF'ers) tougher than others (i.e., commons, etc). I went in thinking these all had a rock solid shot at 9 (hoping for the hallowed 10) but I believed nothing would come back lower than 8. The two Garveys and several of the Bretts look just as nice as the Harrah & Grich cards. Ugh. Horrible time to submit IMO and I still have about 100 cards in the queue.

If anyone does not think there is a new standard they have their head in the sand. I find it very frustrating especially since we have no recourse.
None of this looks like they are making any kind of dent in the giant backlog. Thus far between the price increases, backlog, no real progress and what looks to be a lot harder grading on pre Ultra Modern, I don't see one way they are preserving their perceived leadership in the industry. If the the HGA and CSG higher grades see similar premiums to PSA on sales price, there is gonna be an open door for true competition, which to be honest is needed.
just a heads up. didnt want to make a fuss or create its own thread but keep an eye out for top left corner crimps. ive had a few strange “6s” pop randomly. each that would have been totally obvious that theres no way i woulda submitted them. i also have a few subs in w/ pcs once economy was taken away. was perusing the poppage thread over there and there’s starting to be mentions of the same thing happening and ironically in the same spot as mine. could all be coincidence or could be a newb damaging while holdering. either way, all the cards are lower valued so if its the latter, at least they are happening on this card level. everyone makes mistakes.
the few i received are already off for consignment but here’s a screen shot from the other thread on what to look out for, mine looked the exact same:

Sub that popped Friday.

Arrived 9/14/20
Entered 10/12/20
Grading 10/16/20
Popped 4/16/21
Have to say overall I’m pleased with the grades. Definitely not a grader of death scenario. Someone recently said they hadn’t seen any half point grades in a while but I got one and it’s about what I expected the card to grade. Was hoping for a 9 at best so 8.5 will work. Anyway here they are

Blurry did you let PSA know, and have they responded? I would hope they would have assigned you an account manager at this point, given the amount you submit.
Plus, I have always found it unfair that the graders seem to grade some cards (i.e., stars, HOF'ers) tougher than others (i.e., commons, etc)
I, 100% agree with this statement. IMO, I think that the graders eyes are seeing way too many modern/ultra modern and somehow are carrying that criteria over to cards from the '70's and not really considering the time period and how cards were produced then. We all miss something now and then............ but no way should a seasoned submitter have a less than 50% hit rate based on past experience. And not even one bone of a PSA 9 Brett? Unbelievable. I don't have much in the pipeline..... and not feeling very confident.
Perfectly stated. I love it. 💝💝but have 10 I can send in myself for dual grades. Get that sold NOW before pop increases. Which it will as I''ll be popping tons of his blacks and Heritage in now that it looks like he's staying out that way. ( was talk of a trade to bring him back to Boston after that the salary dump happened. But he nixed it and said no going back no matter the $$ offered).
2 years from now can probably pop another half price .

This was a PSA 10 crossover. Card was already graded PSA 10, Autograph was flawless, so I paid for the Auto grade. Super pumped now, but now I'm in an emotional stalemate on whether to keep or sell. I'm a huge Red Sox fan, and a huge Mookie fan. He went to high school about an hour away from me. I actually work with a Dr. that her son went to school with Mookie. I got to meet him when he was in A ball at Greeneville, super nice guy. Even then, you could tell from the sound of the bat he was going to be special.
The express order grades popped at 145AM CST on the 14th. Shipped at 331AM CST same day.
wow. do they "image" cards at that up charge level?
I don't think they charged me for the image, I believe its included with the express charge.
if they didn't image it then that would explain why it got out so fast. you'll be able to find out after about a week when you check the cert number. it will pop up if so.
my up charges lately have been requiring imaging (which is a great thing for the hobby, imo) and naturally that's been backed up too. currently have one that was done back on 4/8 at premium 1 level but still hasn't shipped bc it's "stuck in imaging".
Ahh ok. I bet I won't get these back for a couple of weeks then.
Keep.
Sigh. I sent a three-card express and four-card regular order to PSA in early March. The package was delivered on March 8, and PSA acknowledged receipt on March 15...and nothing since. Frustrating. Any improvement in CTDs means nothing if logging is taking so darn long. By comparison a five-card regular submission back in January was logged 10 days after they acknowledged receipt.
So question: why not calculate CTDs starting from the date receipt is acknowledged? Hopefully the answer isn’t simply that the results would look bad.
express. arrived 3/1 @ $150 a pop. not even logged. i feel ya.
premium 1 @ $1k a pop. arrived 4/7. popped 4/8. still not shipped.
regulars 1/27 @ $50 a pop when that was expensive. still not logged.
etc, etc, etc.
but alot of my older bulk and economy orders are moving, so i dont know whether to be happy or pissed. its interesting to say the least.

The sub is entirely 1978 O-Pee-Chee baseball for a registry set of mine. All of the cards (in the sub) have a population of less than 10 total graded, and some as low as only 3. I'm completely new to subbing this particular year and manufacturer, so I did this as a learning experience with low expectations. Given the difficulty of finding decent examples of this issue, I picked out examples that I thought would achieve a 7 or perhaps better.

Shipped: 4/16/21
@blurryface & @DEFPOTEC - I sent an email to customer service last week with the subject "do I have a problem order" and gave the submission number. I had a reply within a few hours and my regular order that was with 4 other orders but hadn't been logged was located and entered that same day. I know early March was when a tsunami of submissions hit so that could be part of it too, mine was received 2/24 and entered 4/7. Might be worth an email.

I am extremely pleased and relieved with these grades. I did not think any of these would grade higher than 8 (because of the centering and/or very faint PD) and they didn't, as expected.

I am hoping to continue the theme of poppage day as well. 2 in QA2. One is a 3 card Regular rec 2/9 logged 2:/24. I have 2 of the cards but the 3rd one is the most important to me. It is a 17 Optic Mahomes rc that my 8 year old nephew submitted. He got into collecting because of me, and in turn his Dad has gotten into it. I really want him to do well on that card!
The other is my higher end 80s sub 43 cards recvd 6/19 logged 8/13. I have waited a long time oh these cards and passed on buying them in the grades I wanted because I had them in grading.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
I just had a 29 card Value Vintage that arrived 3/2 just get "entered: & through to research and ID.
Gretzky,Ripken, and Sandberg collection. Still trying to complete 1975 Topps baseball set from when I was a kid.
Those are fantastic grades! Congrats are once again in order
Damn blurryface, thats a lot of 10s! Congrats man!
thanks bud!
Congrats on the sub!
My economy sub entered 9/28 moved to assembly tonight. I am so excited!
Mixed results on my first sub that I received today in mail. Good: Barry Sanders Rookie 9, Lemieux Rookies 7 & 8. OK: Kelly and Young USFL 7's Disappointed: Yaz Rookie PSA 5. Very tough grading as many of you mentioned on 1986 Topps Traded Bonds (black borders) PSAs 8s was as high as I could get.

QA2 today! Let the obsessive compulsive grade checking begin.
This gives me hope that my economy sub should be seeing some movement soon! Entered 9/27 then to grading since 10/24.. best of luck with your grades
I am thinking of starting up the HOF rc set again. If you decide to move the young and Kelly let me know. I like to fill the sets out then upgrade as funds and availability converse.
OK,@envoy982 I'll let you know.- I took them from a boxed set I had for a bit, and have the Hershel Walker and an Off-Centered Reggie White on another sub I'm waiting on.

Good luck I have major QA2 fatigue as one has been in that stage for 8 days. The other since the 12th.
They should take some of those employees that were receiving packages and teach them how to run credit cards.
If you were to sell what would you need??😊
Hmmmm. The last two that sold on ebay went for $4350 and $4152. Straight PSA 10s with no auto grade. What’ do you think is a fair price? 🤔
Ummm I’d start at 5k
That’s what I was thinking too. May hold it for a while.
Wow! Grades are in; Not so Wow! PSA has definitely gotten much stricter with grades based on my recent and past experiences. I honestly feel that every one of these cards should be one grade higher including the 9s (aside from the 4 which I MUST have missed something on).
Plus, I have always found it unfair that the graders seem to grade some cards (i.e., stars, HOF'ers) tougher than others (i.e., commons, etc). I went in thinking these all had a rock solid shot at 9 (hoping for the hallowed 10) but I believed nothing would come back lower than 8. The two Garveys and several of the Bretts look just as nice as the Harrah & Grich cards. Ugh. Horrible time to submit IMO and I still have about 100 cards in the queue.

If anyone does not think there is a new standard they have their head in the sand. I find it very frustrating especially since we have no recourse.
None of this looks like they are making any kind of dent in the giant backlog. Thus far between the price increases, backlog, no real progress and what looks to be a lot harder grading on pre Ultra Modern, I don't see one way they are preserving their perceived leadership in the industry. If the the HGA and CSG higher grades see similar premiums to PSA on sales price, there is gonna be an open door for true competition, which to be honest is needed.
just a heads up. didnt want to make a fuss or create its own thread but keep an eye out for top left corner crimps. ive had a few strange “6s” pop randomly. each that would have been totally obvious that theres no way i woulda submitted them. i also have a few subs in w/ pcs once economy was taken away. was perusing the poppage thread over there and there’s starting to be mentions of the same thing happening and ironically in the same spot as mine. could all be coincidence or could be a newb damaging while holdering. either way, all the cards are lower valued so if its the latter, at least they are happening on this card level. everyone makes mistakes.
the few i received are already off for consignment but here’s a screen shot from the other thread on what to look out for, mine looked the exact same:
this was my last one. fairly close in cert numbers
and:
This is where my Yzerman Topps 6 and 92 Jordan Archives 6 had bends I didn't remember seeing....th e
e OPC Yzerman rook is a 6 too but I don't see a left corner issue
Sub that popped Friday.
Quarterly Special Trout/Griffey Jr
Arrived 9/14/20
Entered 10/12/20
Grading 10/16/20
Popped 4/16/21
Have to say overall I’m pleased with the grades. Definitely not a grader of death scenario. Someone recently said they hadn’t seen any half point grades in a while but I got one and it’s about what I expected the card to grade. Was hoping for a 9 at best so 8.5 will work. Anyway here they are

Blurry did you let PSA know, and have they responded? I would hope they would have assigned you an account manager at this point, given the amount you submit.
GOOD LUCK Those are big time cards!!!!!

I, 100% agree with this statement. IMO, I think that the graders eyes are seeing way too many modern/ultra modern and somehow are carrying that criteria over to cards from the '70's and not really considering the time period and how cards were produced then. We all miss something now and then............ but no way should a seasoned submitter have a less than 50% hit rate based on past experience. And not even one bone of a PSA 9 Brett? Unbelievable. I don't have much in the pipeline..... and not feeling very confident.
I have an emotional attachment to 90% of whats come thru my doors. The attachment ends when the right $$ comes a callin.
Perfectly stated. I love it. 💝💝but have 10 I can send in myself for dual grades. Get that sold NOW before pop increases. Which it will as I''ll be popping tons of his blacks and Heritage in now that it looks like he's staying out that way. ( was talk of a trade to bring him back to Boston after that the salary dump happened. But he nixed it and said no going back no matter the $$ offered).
2 years from now can probably pop another half price .
