If it’s anything that even has a slightest chance of getting an up charge, just send it in at the correct tier now so you get it back faster
Very thoughtful of PSA to give me something to look forward to this Summer; R&ID since February 7th. 
4.5 months later… Presenting my favourite card of all time! The lottery promo Feraligatr. Only 5000 copies exist and were given out in 2002(Some more info on this page:Feraligatr (Expedition 46) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia) or Starter Triple Get Campaign - Pokumon
Many things to love about this card. A lot of it comes down to nostalgia. I opened the OG expedition set and pulled this card. I remember the specific artwork quite fondly.
It also closely resembles the early 2000’s CGI/3D art that was common in for instance Pokemon Colosseum. I love that style in general, and this card really encapsulates that early, goofy-looking CGI.
First time grading any card, so a great feeling to get the card in a 10!

My bulk submission has escaped Research and ID
Purgatory today. From what I have been seeing grading has been pretty quick once it gets going so here’s hoping I have some cards back soon!

How long was your order in assembly with the green checkmark (compared to blue), before grades popped?
I don’t think I had any time with the green check before grades popped. Sat with blue for about 2 weeks and don’t recall it changing to green until today when I got contacted for upcharges

Almost all my recent orders have been stuck in this for 1-2 weeks. I think its a sign that you will be receiving an up-charge notice. Once I’ve approved the up-charge, it immediately updates to the QA Checks stage.

Last few subs have spent about 4-5 days in this stage for me. One sub had an upcharge, and was in this stage for 2 weeks before I got an upcharge email.

mine is currently like this too.
Well i jumped the gun complaining. Just moved to Completing. Didn’t do as well as I wanted but I still got a really cool card about to post in the low pop thread.

Just got my PSA/DNA submission back for auto authentication only. Sharing in case anyone else wants to authenticate/grade autographs on items that PSA won’t authenticate/grade (such as card sleeves, pieces of paper, etc.)
- Mailed in on 4/3, it was back in my mailbox on 4/22. This whole time my regular PSA sub has been in R&ID
- The address I mailed to is a different address than regular PSA
- Filled out a physical paper form indicating who signed the item & how I’d like it encapsulated. You can also opt to grade the auto, or to just authenticate without encapsulating.
- Very minimal updates/info in the app
- Blue label! Looks great imo

Just hit Grading today after a month and 20 days in R&ID. I originally thought that estimate was absurd when it first got there but now I think my cards will not beat the estimate.
Completed on Friday and shipping out today
