All of my July quarterly promotion submissions of 20 have hit Assembly this week, with 1 popping into QA1 mid last week. Looks like they're churning through these pretty quickly.
QA1 may be the new logjam point. I had a $30 sub I sent in before the $18 special was announced hit QA1 over a month ago where they still sit. In that time I have had a $50 sub zoom past it. Got the cards back over a week ago. 2 of my 4 $18 submissions hit Assembly, while yet another hit QA1.
Let’s see how long these final stages take on average. When the tracker first started research and Id was typically the longest wait. During the midst of the backlog Stage 4 Grading became the long stage, now for me it looks like QA1
I reached out to customer service last week in concern over a special not showing in my orders as arrived. I was told to email them back this Friday if it still wasn't there. The annoying part is that an economy order in the same box (delivered Aug 2) is showing as arrived and is already in grading. A Special received 2 weeks after that even shows as arrived Aug 15. These were not submitted at the National, but rather are the $18 mail-in deals

Aug 1 thru Aug 7 or so seems to be where the issue is on the order reflections. FYI. About 16k + that first week of August plus what came back from AC.
Just saw all my missing subs order reflections hit while I was typing this reply. All were received August 1st
I just had an economy order spend 2 days in grading and jump to assembly. It took 18 days to go from arrived to grading but 2 days from grading to assembly. I hope my other econ sub moves like that! Hopefully it plows through the next few stages quickly. It's all modern FB quarterbacks so I'd love to get them back in time for the season.

Quarterly Special (27 cards):
PSA Arrived: 4/2/21
Date Received: 5/10/21
Research & ID: 4/9/22
Grading: I can't remember what day it went into Grading but it has been stuck there for close to three months.

That's an absurd length of time between Received and just starting Research & ID. 😮
Also, I know the newer value orders are going to artificially wait to ship until the backlog is complete, but it's quite backwards that your order isn't at least finished grading yet when I have 2 new Special orders in Assembly and a new Value order in QA2.
My July special isn't even entered yet. It's still "arrived". My economy sub that sat for 2 weeks in arrived hit QA2 and I have another economy sub that has been there over a week that is also in arrived still.
I'm in QA2 and the labels disappeared. How soon should the grades post from this point forward?

One of mine is sitting in a box somewhere, label tracking says its there but hasnt even shown up on the arrived yet.
2 July specials sent in. One received on the 22nd and the other the 29th. One's been in Assembly for about a week and the other is still in Research. I'm hoping both are back by the end of September, and that's cool.

Well, that must be a big tease! You wait a year and a half, finally get to shipping, and now you're stuck again. Shipping should be like same or next day when it reaches that stage.
As we hit September, they must be getting awfully close to the end of job on that backlog. It should be weeks away. Probably really exciting for them to reach end of job on that one.
I’ve always gotten grades when I hit shipping and I’ve never had it take more than a day or two to actually ship and have tracking updated. Usually it’s same day.
I am on Week 5 of QA1 on 1 sub
Week 2 of QA 1 on another and day 3 of QA1 on a 3rd
When did you submit them? My $18 vintage sub was entered 7/16. Still in grading. My $50 sub was entered 6/7 and today was day 86. It has not moved past grading either. Grrrrrr. So zero chance it completes within the guideline of 45-90 days.
had a 64 card $18 order submitted 7/23 and its in QA1 already for about a week... not sure where the bottle neck is but the grading phase was like max 1.5-2 weeks.
Yeah, I don't believe grading is a bottleneck with the new orders. I have 3, and they are in Assembly, QA1, and QA2. None of them spent any significant time in grading.
I sent 2 $18 Special orders. One arrived the 22nd and the other 29th. The 22nd is going nicely and is in QC1. The other has been in Research for a week, and the cards haven't don't even show up yet when I click the order link. That indicates they must have gotten a ton of submittals at National, because my first went in before the convention.
I dropped off my orders at the Burbank show in the hopes that they would be entered immediately. They are apparently still backed up with logging issues from The National.
I've also had a few orders stuck in QA1 for multiple weeks now. I've never had orders take more than a few days at that stage.
Good news, my July modern special 70 card submission that arrived on August 2nd got entered and is now in research. Everything else lingering in QA1 & 2.

Yep. I am up to 4 subs in QA1. One has been there for now going on two months. They are really going to hit me with all these credit card charges on the same day, aren't they?

My 2nd July special that arrived on July 29th has been in Research since it was entered. Still there. It's almost 4 weeks so far. No movement and the cards don't even show up when you click the Order #.
It sort of feels like they got a ton of orders at National and put all those to the front of the line, because another order that arrived July 22nd is in Q1. It's been there for 2 weeks though.

I’ve had 2 subs at QC2 for about 10 days now. What’s the hold up??
If they were newer value subs, I think they are being held there until PSA is finished the backlog. They advertised that the newer subs will not ship until the old ones are finished. There may be a 1 week period however where both are going out simultaneously.

Ok. Thanks. Did not see that.
Value subs are definitely shipping. A friend of mine just had grades pop on his $30 value sub from July 13. Cool for him, disappointing to say the least for people still waiting on stuff from last year. I have another economy sub that is still in R&ID that has been there over 3 weeks. My previous dozen or so econ subs would have been in grading for a week at this point. Although I will say my last econ sub hit grading and was done in just 7 days. See what happens with this one. I also noticed the "$18 July National Special" all changed to "value 1995-earlier/1996-later" now as well. Technically a higher tier so curious how quickly those move through.
Also had a question for the group - with PSA releasing the $22 bulk level, did that move the needle for anyone? I don't think I'll be using it at all. Even my cheaper HOF cards I have for my set are borderline worth the $22 even though I don't care about the 120-150 day turnaround. I think I'll stick with $30 value or $50 economy. For an extra $8 on the value tier I get 250% more declared value and 30-60 faster turnaround. $22 for a card to take 5 months that is only worth 199 or less just isn't worth it to me. I really don't see that tier being very busy.
Had my final order from the back log pop this week. Monday went to assembly Friday it was mailed. No up charges even though they could have. Which is much appreciated.
Will sit back and watch how things go from here as I now have no pending orders. Hope they fix the issues with damaged corners and creases. Im still nervous to send in cards at the moment. But This last order went about how it used to go in the past.

Same. I pretty much squeezed in everything I would have graded at that tier into the National special, so I've accumulated maybe like 5 cards since then that I would be willing to grade at this price. The 25 card minimum is a killer for me. I'll wait for the next price drop and/or special.
I have some crossovers I'd like to do, but they are way too costly at this point as they make you pick Economy for those.
I have plenty to grade I just want to feel comfortable sending them in. Of the last 10 orders Ive had they all didnt go as planed I guess.Cards came back with extra wear and damage. This last order though went flawless(not the17 month wait but expected that). I dont have these back yet to see if any extra damage occurred. But the grades were about as expected. So I do have hope still.

Yep, I have one in QA1

Yes. Had on in Assembly for about a week. 100 cards.
Another is still in Research.

Same. Can't see what's in the order.
I have the grades but it won’t ship, I called and they are looking into it
31 card modern $18 July National special. Received 8/17 - now in step 5 assembly. Much quicker than expected.
My July $18 Special (100 cards) received on the 22nd that had been in Assembly for about a week hit QC1 today.
I agree with the idea that they got slammed with cards from the ‘National’ special.
Personally, I have a three card express order that arrived 8/4, took about two weeks to be logged in and is still in assembly as of 9/1…
…and I mostly blame myself for subbing so close to the National. I should know better.

To Assembly 8/7

Not sure how I feel about the fastest part of the process being the actual grading of the cards.
