First time grading cards myself, using the $15 special for this submission:

Arrived: 2/27/23
Entered: 3/20/23
Research&ID: 3/21/23
Grading: 3/22/23
Assembly: 3/27/23
Grades Available: 4/3/23
Shipped: 4/5/23

Currently shows as Research & ID. Based on other posts mentioning their special lead times, I wonder if mine was sent over to the NJ facility.

Edit: Once it became entered it appears to be flying through the different steps.

Just had a $15 PSA sub fly through QA2 in 3 business days?? Feels… weird

Finally got some movement on my recent bulk order, was very slow but had several cards that I had to input manually so not too surprised.

Shipped 2-23
Arrived 2-27
Research 3-15
Grading 3-23

But really I just came to complain because I went to look at the scans, my first order since they started adding the “First Look”, and what do you know:

Do they add them later by chance? Or they just didn’t want to scan mine? :frowning:

Mine is in QA2 and doesn’t show images either.

Worthless honestly. They don’t take them out of the card savers. I’m pretty sure they make the images as worse as possible so if they do damage the card you won’t be able to tell.

Either do it well or don’t do it at all.

My $15 special seems to be taking longer for some reason. Arrived 2/8, received 2/23, and has been in QA2 for a few days now

I sent 30 cards in to get graded at PSA. 12 were sports and the remaining 18 were pokemon

I did a combined order: 12 sports @ $19 & 18 TCG @ 15$

PSA decided to move 8 of the pokemon cards over to the sports order and thus took an extra $4 for these 8 cards. It’s not a massive mistake but it’s not what I wanted. Why did they do this? It looks like both orders were 10 cards minimum and both submissions were clearly separated in the box.

Edit: Looking into this more. I think something went wrong when the orders were combined
