PSA/DNA Pokemon autograph authentication is in a bad place

Regular from 2/29 entered Grading today. Value #1 from 1/18 is still in Grading. Value #2 from 2/29 is still Order Arrived.

In case you thought BGS was a viable alternative

I think they shadowbanned me because I can still see it

edit: made into it’s own topic Beckett (BGS) Grades an altered Pokemon autograph, hides my comment telling them what they did

We need E4 autograph authentication now more than ever

My vote would be for @prochaos and @swolepoke

Welp. An order that I sent in and was recieved on February 1st, that took six week for them to get to the grading phase, were all deemed “Inconclusive/Unable to Render Opinion” in a 1-2 day window and are now being sent back to me. Oh and I’m being charged $40 for shipping.

Love it, thank you PSA.

Pikazardcollector doesn’t seem to mind…

Damn, sorry to hear that. Are the signatures from the same artists you posted above in your separate submission? Curious how they can arrive at an “inconclusive” decision but still authenticate some of your other ones.

Either way, turning into a sham it seems.

Two different orders.

The first submission is surprising since there was a artist in there that isnt as abundant when it comes to exmpales.

But this reecent order that was denied, theyve slabbed dozens of their autos.

I have a 20 card auto sub thats been there since November and went into grading for 1 day and now assembly as of yesterday so i dont have very high hopes after reading all this.

Mine just hit “assembly” today as well. I submitted one Arita auto (no grade, authentic only) that I fear will have the same fate as @swolepoke. This is actually the second time that I am submitting this because they denied it last time when they were denying a bunch of other pokemon autos back in December. I will keep you all posted with any updates and if it makes it through, or if it unfortunately has the same fate as others.

I have had 2 orders from late last year, nor problems with my grade, card graded and auto with no problems

This wasn’t an issue until a couple months ago, so that’s why yours went through fine.

Thats interesting, Ive seen some people submit Arita autos from the Hawaii Pop Con event (Jan 6 and 7) and they are getting their autos back already and they’re graded. Maybe its only particular signatures?? :thinking:

Both orders was from after people had trouble with not getting their cards authenticated

yup, as expected.

Just got the email! Yay! Charged for their incompetence! I guess I’ll send this off to BGS now for an “authentic only” label…sigh :expressionless:

I have an order at PSA currently that will most likely be inconclusive again since it’s four different artists I sent in and I keep seeing Arita specifically rejected.

I’ll be sending to BGS once I get my order back. If my order somehow gets actually graded, I’ll post an update on that.

Estimated completion is March 13th and it’s in assembly currently.

Hopefully one day PSA fixes this situation
