    Some movement to report...
    37 card value vintage arrived 11/24/20, received 2/9/21, grading mid-August, moved into Assembly 10/14; TODAY QA1.
    44 card value moderns with same exact dates through the system, synchronized; Assembly 10/14; TODAY QA 1.

    I was just looking at my dates and the date the hold was issued on modern value. 30 Mar 21 they said no more cards. At that time CTD was 20 Jul 20...8 months backlog. Today, 26 Oct, the CTD 7 Jan 21...9 1/2 months. How do you fall back a month and a half when you have not received anything in 7 months. This is absurd.

    Because at that time they were working through months that received significantly less cards than Jan/Feb/Mar, which they are just getting into the meat of now.

    CTDs are only going to get worse as they get into Feb/Mar (received, not entered) grading where they saw an all time high # of submissions.

    Sit tight, it's going to get slower before it gets faster.

    I just noticed my membership expiration rolled forward again. It was December and is now moved all the way until June. I guess we must not be close to re-opening?

    Mine went to Aug 18 2022 a couple weeks back, I don't think that date means anything solid

    My oldest order has been in Assembly for over a month. It's just 65 junk era basketball cards. What could possibly be holding up the assembly?!?

    I'm in the same situation. My oldest value modern sub arrived at PSA on 11/20/20 and was entered on 2/9/21. It went to grading on 8/1/21 and now has been in assembly for 3 weeks. From what I am hearing here, my order has a long way to go yet.

    How long are express orders taking? I see the CTD is about 5-1/2 weeks behind but wasn't sure if that was the expected turnaround right now.

    Do not feel too bad. I have a Single 100 count card order. Arrived early October, logged in 1.12.2021 and has been in grading for months. If I still have Assembly for 60 days that puts me in the 2022 realm. Arrived to PSA in 2020 and not back until 2022.

    where is the ctd guy that would post updates? and im not asking facetiously. would really like to see a side by side chart from then vs now. forget his name but had the carrot top looking avatar. i never paid too much attention to those graphs or dates bc they didnt factor in all of the data such as group subs.

    anyways, how are those projected dates looking now vs. then? have to be way off. felt like the villian and debbie downer when saying it was gonna be well over a year when the random stragglers came in asking about eta return dates. knowing they submitted during the height of the mayhem it was impossible for it not to take 12+ months.

    eta dates from say two months ago to today. have they moved at all? gone way backwards or what? i am in the same boat as most. have a sub logged 1/04 and still in grading. and 70+ more on top of that. w a majority just hitting grading the past week or so.

    @blurryface you are thinking of @OneDaysRide, he had the nice looking chart. haven't seen him around in a while, maybe he got all of his cards returned and isn't plodding along like the rest of us anymore.

    @mickey71 It is all an effort to obfuscate and confuse! lol

    What I shared above are the complete through dates on the page that I check (almost) every day. The "entered" dates are what these work with. So the "Arrived" date is the day they say they got your package. The "Entered" date is the day the (now-obsolete) clock started. So technically if you had a service level with an entered date close to the CTD date you'd expect to see grades very soon. Some orders are way ahead of this of course. I think my voucher order was shipped on 4/29. My entered date was mid-september but CTD was 9/8 so they were a little ahead. The same was true for my regular order; shipped 8/6 when CTD showed 3/30 but my entered date was 4/9.

    Remember those are entered dates. If received is 2-3 months before that then REHOLDERS take more than a year. November is in a few days

    After 400+ days at PSA I finally had one of my oldest subs pop. Four card dual grading - grade add on sub.

    Arrived: 8/21/2020
    Entered: 10/21/2020
    Shipped: 10/27/2021

    I still have two more similar grade add on orders in the pipeline. One is stuck in QA2 (22 cards) and the other is still in grading (31 cards). This service level is not listed on the CTD. So hopefully this info helps others who may have cards at PSA for this service.

    My value ultra modern that was entered on 2/17/21 went into grading just over 9 weeks ago (8/25/21) and is still in grading. Your mileage may vary.

    Yea, they have been in grading for a while now, but based on what I seen people posting, I don't think I have a chance of seeing them until 1st QTR of 2022. And that sucks as I will miss the Christmas sales.

    @thedutymon11 - I don't think anyone has had a sub pop that was logged/entered in April, those subs are just now hitting grading. Those have another 3-6 months before I would even start to wonder about grades actually popping. Being in "assembly for months" seems crazy to me. I don't think I've seen that long of a wait, that seems odd. That is technically further along though.

    There's no rhyme or reason to when orders hit certain stages, or how they sit there for months and months. The only somewhat accurate dates to follow are the CTD and % Monthly Completion rates.

    My pack sub (19 1980 Topps basketball packs) is in QA2. The sub was received 22MAR, entered 14MAY, and went into grading 07OCT. I figured I had months to go but after seeing tkersting post figured I would check the status, pleasantly surprised.

    I have had the packs for years (was slowly building towards making a full 36 pack box), so them being at PSA for 7-8 months didn't really impact me one way or the other. With pack & box prices so high for 1980 T basketball, I figured I would never complete my full box project and decided to get them graded and then sell them.

    Bottom order if modern and top order is vintage. Modern CTD is January 10th. That should be close.
    Both are still in grading
