Another theory could be, their are grading the 18$ special in the new facility. I don’t think they move the backlog cards in the new facility, it’s too dangerous, insurance etc. ---

All new submissions are being sent to California though. So unless PSA is collecting them in California, then re-shipping them to New Jersey (which I find highly unlikely), they are all still being graded in California. ---

maybe this is a stupid question, but does PSA / CGC grade sleeves? I know they are pretty inexpensive and they are ment to protect cards, so their actual use it’s to be destroyed (?) but as I want to have a Psyduck full set at any point and there are some sleeves featuring him… well, im just curious. Maybe I can just use one of that non-reputable or newest companies to have them in a slab…, here the grade it’s not really _that_ important. ![1322312_480x480](https://www.elitefourum.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/2/e2606e88780fdb41937bea2524f6df843b05ef78.jpeg) ![1600504846_easy-going-psyduck-card-deck-sleeves-500x500](https://www.elitefourum.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/e/1e2aa96c0f1f9117da1c469de7d528f2bf973ab2.jpeg) ![P8250_705-29911_01_full](https://www.elitefourum.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/2/f27cf1b54646eea02200817451de5d653278006e.jpeg) ![0029a51ac22f5f1aa2562266c6d0472b](https://www.elitefourum.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/3/a3a7fdabd55b22514d827f332440e81cc0c3c2f8.jpeg) ---

Thank you! That makes sense its a shame rest of the card is clean. The person I bought it from had it raw in a toploader i think thats how this damaged happened. @eeveeteam yes it does lol if i dont work something out with the seller I wont be too upset about keeping it 🙂 ---

I would take a deep breath. It is unlikely that FedEX completely lost your item. The more likely scenario is that they are doing a bad job at updating their tracking and/or actual events have caused delays (e.g., worker shortage, natural disasters like the flooding in Kentucky, etc.). I would call/check-in one week after the original delivery date. Until then, grab a non-caffeinated beverage and put on some soothing music. Everything is going to be OK! ---

i appreciate your response, thanks! i am not super worried about it being lost per se, im more starting to get worried it wont get to psa in time. you only really have a month before they say the order isnt valid anymore and it’s already been like half a month for me to ship and then it getting stuck in transit for a week+. so i dont feel i have a lot of time if something goes wrong. which is kinda frustrating because i paid for faster shipping. i just fear that by the time my cards arrive, psa will be like “sorry the time window expired, we are sending them back” ---

I see BGS added a “tracker” for anything submitted August 1st or later. No use to me since mine arrived July 25th. Anyone know what it looks like? How does it compare?
