So excited for my grades to hit...

I launched off 200 cards in March for the vintage special of $23.99 (because I am a sucker to join the membership). Once PSA received my cards, the estimated return date was 8/26/26. I told myself that I would only look once a day to see the progress in expectation/hope for this day. Tomorrow will be half a year, and I literally can't control my excitement. I realize that PSA is not always going to meet their estimated turnaround times because they are too busy grading Horse$hit for all the Pokemon and modern stuff, but I have so much hope for tomorrow. Wish me luck...

I just checked and both my invoices are in the stage of "research and ID". Do you think I will get the grades tomorrow?

Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases

    I’ll roll the dice and say that this was posted for the humorous effect. So I laughed. Heh heh. Best of luck 🤞 to get your cards back sooner than later or never.

    100% you'll get them and hope is definitely a strategy. No doubt at all. I'd bet my house on it.

    Oh, I will get them but when is the question. I can understand "research and ID" taking some time on modern because there are so many variations, however this stage for vintage should take maybe one minute??

    "Do you think I will get the grades tomorrow?"
    No. Only reason is I have an order with a due date of July 17. In assembly for I dont know how long as I dont know when It got there but it was in June I believe. No grades for me and I'm guessing months for mine still.
    What stage are you in?

    You are going to be shoveling snow from under your tires and elsewhere and when you come inside your grades will have popped. If you are lucky.

    From what I understand, they have paused all membership grading for 6 months so PSA can get the backlog down. .

    My gut says you will get 199 10's and from your submission when you get poppage first thing tomorrow morning.

    It's exciting until you see the grades then you blow a gasket. That's my usual experience.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    Well today is the big day for the grades, unfortunately both invoices are in "research and ID". I think Grote is correct and that it is a misprint for 2027.

    Look at it on the bright side. By the time your cards are graded, the values will have significantly increased due to the general market trend. Then you'll get blessed with upcharges on all the cards that don't get hammered with obscenely low grades.

    You can always hope that by the time you receive the cards back some of those players will be in the HOF.

    Even if they were rookies when you sent their cards to be graded.

    The grades will come back tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, you'll get grades.

    Mine have been at PSA almost 3 months and should be graded by January.
