    79 card vintage popped today.
    It will be interesting to see these cards come back and compare them pre-sub to post-sub. Condition-wise these were all solid cards; I expected a few of these grades but not much.
    One 9 and a few 8’s. Almost all cards came back at least 2 grades lower than what I expected. The biggest 1-2 punch was the N8 Clemente and the PSA 5 Gibson all stars. Seriously, those 2 cards were absolute 🔥🔥.
    One week shy of a 13-month wait..
    I feel sick to my stomach.

    Here’s the Clemente I submitted; is this really Miscut? It possible the graded thought the back of the card is miscut?


  • N8 miscut would be it isn’t square. If he thought the back was miscut it would have got a 5.

    I feel your pain. That sucks. I am going to say the condition hasn't changed. You just got the grader who thinks the card is in terrible shape because it was produced before 2020 :(

    That sucks, looks good to me and nothing that would deem it to be miscut. Took a look at a recent PSA 9 sale and the back looks the same with an identical amount of the bat showing on the edge.

    I get that; only problem is, is I don’t see how it isn’t square.

    Boy it sure feels that way. 13 months is way too long to be sitting there. Who knows what’s happened in the mean time.

    Still love PSA; I know I’m not always going to get the grades I want, but saying this card is miscut is a farce. How many cards have been graded 8 or higher with horribly tilted images, etc?

    Eh I can see it being Miscut
    Top left corner looks wonky and not 90 degrees.
    Just my opinion and I am not a expert.

  • Looking closely at the clemente standing up , The right edge under clemente looks like it tapers in. this is probably why it's being called miscut. I guess better than trimmed and having to pay for it. :(

    I can see that. Guess I was just shocked more than anything at first glance. Oh well. I’ve gone through the 5 stages of grieving; on to the next sub! Im still excited to get my cards back! Here’s hoping the Gilliam turns out great!

    Do you collect ultra modern extinct things cards? I hear the 2021 Allen & Ginter Content PSA Customer 'Dino Poop Brown' Prism Holo 1 of 1 is this years big hit

    I'm waiting on 2 of those:

    2) Arrived 9/15, Entered 11/30

    No movement for me... they are both still quite constipated.

    Yes my last one of them I sent in. Don't understand the random dates. My other 3 subs I got back about a month and a half a ago.

    FIFO processing at its finest! 🤨

  • Looks like I can't even check the status of my orders from the My Membership page anymore. They are SO old, they seem to have dropped off of the drop down list. I have to go to My Orders to confirm the disappointment that my orders are still stuck in grading.

  • My first ever PSA sub (Value Vintage - 1970/1971 cards) just shipped & should have it by Saturday. I checked the grades & felt some may have been 1-2 grades lower than pictures I've seen on eBay. Showing the 4 categories like Beckett would really clarify things. Since they use a Hubble Telescope to look at the cards, the downside is probably the surface whether it be fingerprints, hairline creases, etc. With Beckett if you get three 9s & one 7, you'll probably get a 7.5/8 at the most. So a bad grade in 1 category can really pull down the overall grade. Mine were all in the 4 to 5 range with one 6. I can't complain since they were all part of a garage sale find in a large brown paper bag over 40 years ago for a total of $1. An almost complete 1975 Topps set was also in that same bag. At $10 grading cost per card, it was a deal I couldn't refuse. From the time the sub hit grading to shipping was no more than 30 days. A Value Modern I sent in 2 weeks earlier is still in grading.

    Thanks, much appreciated! For some reason, PSA didn't use the inner sleeve, and some of the cards had slid way out position. Don't know if it damaged the cards, but it wasn't a good look.

    Here are some examples....

    Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.

    74 card football special:
    Arrived: 1/5
    Entered: 1/11
    Grading: 6/28
    Assembly: 9/2

  • CzoneCzone Posts: 17 ✭✭

    Grades posted for 125 card Pre 70's Monthly Special. Posted sooner than expected as it arrived on 10/01/20 and entered 1/13/21. 100 of the cards were two sets of 1938 FC Cartledge Famous Prize Fighters and the rest were low grade BB, BK, FB stars.

    Grades were fine. No 10s among the boxers but did receive 20 9s including both Joe Louis cards. The rest mainly 7s or 8s.

    Nothing stands out on other cards that were submitted based on cheap grading price alone.
    The "best" were 1965 Topps AL Home Run Leaders-7.5, 1961 Fleer Rod Hundley- 7 and 1969 Joe Namath -7.

  • Finally just had one of my year olds move to assembly!

    This is a 60 card Quarterly Special 14 (90’s basketball Jordan years).

    Does anyone know if I can get ahold of PSA accounting over the weekend? I had an order pop last night. But it says accounting hold. I think my daily debt limited was the problem. Am I screwed till Monday?

    Update: My first order blew right through QA1 and is now in QA2. So it took them like a year to grade my cards the first time, and then someone took about 5 minutes to review the grades for a second time... 🤔

    Good luck with assembly. I have a reholder order that's been stuck in assembly for like 2-3 months now.

    That's insane! Are the cards a special size or something? I would think re-holders should be a breeze for them.

    Nope. 4 regular size 1960s Topps commons. They got cracked in shipping to a customer without damage to the cards. I just wanted them to reholder. They went through grading fairly quickly but now they're growing mold waiting to be reslabbed.

    Blurry - Acuna will be back with a Vengence next year. Those 10s will be a gold mine.

    i know. just giving myself a hard time. and to prove your point right, i also went heavy on buying all the ohtani silver holo & color variations optic cards i could for under $5 at the time. i remember him getting knocked out the year prior, going under the knife and specifically NOT sending them in w this sub or any of the pack pulled tcu/refractors i ripped. absolutely kicking myself now. yes, im an idiot. i dont even look at what theyve been doing anymore. but back to your point, ohtani bounced back quite nicely. zero reason acuna cant. especially w/ the doctors and medical advancements today.

    Value Modern made a big jump in the CTD today, 10/29/20 to 11/26/20 overnight and a reported 99% of October yesterday turning into 99% of November. For the first time it is now ahead of Ultra Modern on the CTD.

  • ejguruejguru Posts: 618 ✭✭✭

    Seeing Blurry with a "Jan. arrived, March received" already pop is encouraging. I've got a few 2/9 vintage and modern orders (received Nov. '20) still in grading, but maybe not so far away. Anyone else with "March received" orders popping?

    That's really puzzling. A re-holder should be a very simple exercise for them unless they re-grade the cards during the process to ensure the existing grades still stand? I don't know.

    My order from yesterday advanced from Assembly to QA1 in one day. 🙏🏻 Both of my 60 card orders just took a day to assemble. Your 4 cards just get no love. 🙁

    Oh, you mentioned they were already graded. I can't fathom why they can't slab 4 cards in 2-3 months after grading. Something seems up there.

    I would have to think regular is getting close to finished which should free up more capacity to really get the value sub's moving. It is at 99% of May completed. With a March 31 shut down date, that is 2 months out in order entry

  • Woozer! That's a lot of 10s! I wouldn't be mad!

    I have finally seen evidence of the types of cards people were sending in that has PSA so backed up. I’m sure many of you have seen these types of cards and I’m sure they have been floating around on different auction sites for months but this was the first time I saw some. I was browsing through Sirius’s auction last night and could not believe some of the cards I saw. People have sent so many commons from the 80’s through the early 90s, to be graded. I guess they were thinking since it’s 30-40 years old it must be worth something. I actually feel sorry for the people who submitted these cards because they are losing so much money! Not only were the cards not worth the cost of grading if they received a PSA 10 but most of the cards got grades of 7 or worse. I always knew a portion of the backlog was from people sending in these types of cards but to actually see it blew my mind even further! If you’re looking for any graded commons from that time Sirius might be your honey pot!

    I do think that’s part of the issue. I still shake my head over the YouTube video of an Express submission reveal where someone paid $300 per to slab mid grade 1989 Donruss Griffey rookies.

    Once these people try to resell their slabs, they’ll realize their mistake and stop submitting. That will ease some of the excess grading demand issues.
