Funny , but I had a Modern submission's grades issued yesterday (but still not shipped) that was received almost a full month after one that's been in Q2 for over a week. Both the same amount of cards, but the 2nd flew through the process while the earlier one is sitting.
I've had a sub pop about 9 days ago and it still has not shipped at all. This is a new experience for me in a delay of my order not being shipped soon after grades posted.

personally , I don’t want or need the scans on most of my subs. I’d rather they just give the option to have cards scanned. I did notice my last value sub all cards were scanned and the sub I’ve been waiting 8+ days on has all been scanned already, last weekend in fact. I’d much rather have a fast turnaround than wait for scans of cards I can scan myself. It’s a nice service, don’t get me wrong, I’d just rather be able to turn some inventory than wait sometimes.
Yeah I don’t know what the hang-up was. Scans were already done I assume it wasn’t a FedEx problem or I’d have seen a label sooner and the package just not picked up. I sent an email last week and got an auto-reply that it would be 15 days before someone would contact me. Maybe that is what jostled it loose though. They had graders out at a show but that shouldn’t impact shipping. It’s a mystery to me. Was nice to have grades in <2 weeks but since it was all Josh Allen, Justin Jefferson and Herbert stuff, I kind of missed out but I knew that risk when I sent it. On to the next one… I hope everyone else gets shipped out soon!
Got an email reply this evening regarding my delayed shipping. FYI for anyone interested and in the same boat.
“I know how important it is to get your order back in a timely manner, and I'm sincerely sorry for the delay in shipping your order out to you. Our shipping team has been working through a backlog of approximately ~12 business days”
At least you can know it’s coming and it is a known backlog and not just an issue with your order.
If your crossover is in stage 4 and you see that PSA has applied an 8 digit certification number that is in the range of all the other new certs, does that mean it was successful in crossing over ?
So, I sent 2 different submissions in for the Modern Special. The first arrived a month before the 2nd, but was graded and sent back almost 3 weeks (went out yesterday) after the 2nd. I just got the tracking info and it's coming from NJ.
I sent both to Orange County, CA but this one was routed to NJ for grading for some reason. I'm sure that's the reason for the delay, but wondering if anyone else has seen a similar routing. Curious why they'd do that, but maybe they're buried in cards in Calif.

Wow. That's interesting. Wonder if they're grading cards there now??? I never know what's going on.
I had an order go to shipping today, but my credit card hasn’t been charged and the grades are unavailable. Never had that experience before. Odd. It has been at q2 throughout the week.

I've noticed grades available sooner with no shipping info, yet my card got charged, then the grades disappear, and a day or two later the shipping info appears and grades re-appear
An example below- no shipping info, but grades can be seen, and the normal "grades are available" emails gone out
Now this may only be happening to make sure PSA gets paid
One thought that did cross my mind
And try not to make anything of that orders quick poppage- it's an outlier that occasionally happens

This thread has been pretty quiet. Thought I'd post some raw pickups from shows that I had graded recently. These popped today. These were $19 value (20 card min, the TLaw and Fields at the end were just added to round it out to make 20) That was a good decision. Arrived 2/21, entered 2/24, Grades 3/13. Super fast turnaround but did spend 7 days in QA2
I picked up the Young and Lynch for my HOF set for $6 for the pair. The Young is a tough one to find and the Lynch in a 9 is still a $45+ card. Solid sub all the way around, graded pretty consistent with what I expected. Really happy to have Kelce 10 to put in my set after about 8 straight PSA 9's.

Nice sub! I am having the same issue with Von Miller. Starting to think I should just buy one graded. My last few grades seem to be much more in line with my expectations!
Thanks. I couldn’t believe how much these Young’s are going for. I need to dig through more dollar boxes and find some more! I have probably 80 various topps chrome rookies to send off such as Von, Jimmy Graham, Luck, Gronk etc. I just can’t justify $15-19 per card for those at the moment.

Express popped last night and hopefully ships today.
Regular is in Assembly.
Value Plus is in grading.
So it was delivered the 26th of January but didn't Log until the 10th of February?
The reason I ask is that I see people having their orders delivered and then logged a few days later and mine has been sitting there for over a week now.

It was the $40 a card level, so Value Plus (20 day turnaround). The tracker says ‘delivered to PSA’ on the 6th, but the turnaround time doesn’t start until it’s logged I’m understanding.

Has anyone gotten a vintage sub back lately? My modern orders have been flying through pretty quick but vintage (pre-1981) has been slow. Spent some time at the MN card show yesterday and that seemed to be the sentiment there as well.
Similar - I have an order in grading, there since 2/21. I have another 35 card vintage order I’m about to send off but figure that will be 60-90 business days. It’s all stuff for my pc so turnaround time isn’t a huge deal.
On a side note, I am really hoping for some kind of set registry special soon. I have so many cards for the all-time sets that I’d love to send in but $15+ just isn’t worth it. I have 150+ cards just hanging out and hoping for something. Maybe someday.

I believe PSA currently has only one vintage grader, and he only works on Thursdays. There are now 785 modern card graders employed by PSA.
Maybe true....LOL. They've got to figure out a way to get all subs completed within 2 months. They really do.
I have a PSA DNA order for dual service that logged into the system on 1/14 and it has been at QA1 for a good month. Right now at 3 months and 10 days. Memories of the sub time before the big shutdown, LOL.

I guess my post loosened things up, I went to assembly today on my vintage $15 special. I've got another one sitting here and a modern HOF RC sub but I'm waiting for something better than $19. Hopefully soon...

Still paying for all the expansion plans is why we don't see set registry specials
Strangely I got back my first few player / set registry stuff in 18 months last sub
All I'll say is the grading is fairly accurate ,but my eyes are becoming "consistently inconsistent"
Think its time for stronger readers ( or maybe I should stop the "rush entry" on all the subs and check stuff first)
I'll post a few slabs- this sub needs some pics
I missed a highly obvious back corner issue on the PSA 7 below
I expected three 8 and a 9 so pleased with the results
Carried these Die-Cut around 20+ years so I lowered my expectations
Besides I got more around

I am wondering if them scanning every card in a submission is what’s slowing them down. I like the service and should cut down on the CRC submissions.

So it doesn’t seem like the scanning is even the reason for the delay.
I’m not someone who checks my grades online, so the wait is even more painful for me. 😂
They are scanning Value subs now?
Yes, starting this year, all orders get scanned.
Still no movement on anyone's orders? Nothing on mine.
Really a mystery what's going on over there.
My order that popped on 1/12 finally shipped today. It went FedEx as well despite usps being selected.
I had a 30 card order move to QA2 yesterday. Card that popped last week still hasn’t shipped.
So slooooow. Glad yours finally shipped though! I guess that probably means a few more days for mine.

I wonder how they fell so far behind.
My order that reached shipping January 17 just got a tracking number today. Hopefully they are speeding up.
I had three orders logged in yesterday, 1/26/23.
They were:
