Sorry, I have not been on the board in a while or submitted anything. Just wondering what recent experiences are as far as turnaround time for orders.
– Thanks

Not good. Psa bought sgc and now there grading takes 4 months min.
My last psa order received march 11th with due date of July 17th is still at psa and not done. Was expected to take 85 BUSINESS days and is currently on BUSINESS day 155 of 85. Was in assembly for 4 months and after calling 3 times it’s now in stage of we are going to possibly look at the holder then mail it to you maybe. Been there about a month now.
So calendar days are 229 days and still counting. For 9 card order.
Sgc also long wait and I think they now use the same machine to grade just like psa. Grades seem the same not like before. If you are flipping modern I guess you have to pay faster sevice 599.00 to get it back before everyone finds out he o she is all hype. I can see how these waits could affect modern flipping.
Good luck
PSA is Double whatever their estimate is. My 6-month order took 12 months.

Wow.. a year long wait to get an order processed!! 🤨😖
Just normal submissions. 599.00 will be this month I hope.
i sent a pack to psa...so far its on day 158
I'm at Encapsulation on day 123 for a 7 pack order... so you're telling me I've still got a while to go 😪
Isn’t $60 per card the cheapest level for individual cards? It looks like 200+ days to get back. I would expect better service than that for the price you pay.
Me too. And SGC is at $50 a card, with a 4 month turnaround.
CGC is an option, at $20 a card for Economy tier. But you'll wait about 4 months as well.
Man, you are not the only one to expect that…
Here are my submissions for 2026 for anyone interested. They are all at the value service level and average about 25 cards per sub. I now have 5 subs at PSA that are still in progress. Sub #9 (and all those after) were sent in after PSA announced the shutdown on lower tier submissions.

I don't believe that CGC is still at 4 months. They seem to be running the most behind currently. Some orders take months to get entered even. Sent two PSA orders ($80ea) and two CGC orders (Economy) at the same time, PSA are in encapsulation currently, CGC haven't been entered. Obviously this stuff can change on a dime as these companies aren't held to their word on TATs.
I have a submission that was received by SGC on July 10 and has not been touched.
My last sgc was June 3rd to October 9th if it helps. 4 months seems to be the goal. Cant see them being swamped now. But they seems to want it to take 4months to process.
Just got an email that PSA has re-opened Value service -- and also modified turnaround times to be a little better across the board
