For the sake of more data, my Ludkins Gold submission that was registered with PSA in November 2020 just hit grading today (so 8 months to go from research and ID to grading).

November! My Gold from August just went into grading today.

They must have focused a greater effort to the dealer backlog if we are all progressing at the same time despite different registration times and different steps. Seems they really are focusing on dealer cards this quarter.

This has been confirmed to me by the PSA sales team. You can find my post a few pages back.

Hi, was sending this card to cgc but noticed this indent. Could anyone experienced in cgc submissions help predict what surface sub grade this card would receive assuming no other issue?

CGC is tyrannical on surface issues.
It is difficult to see the indent on your pictures, to me it looks more like an ink dot. Anyways, at CGC anything like this could knock it down to a ~7 subgrade.

I think indent isn’t the right word, this is more of like a random spot. Appreciate your input

Will have close to 0 impact on the subgrade if it isn´t an indent, you zoomed like 100x

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

My oldest PSA submission turns 1 today. It was officially registered by PSA on July 20th, 2020

They grow up so fast

My ludkins from Oct just got hit grading yesterday as well

alakazamthat · 2021-07-20T17:44:30.000Z

my platinum service with ludkins finally at q2 stage.
I checked my email when I received the tracker from ludkins (6/19/20)

anyone could beat this long wait with same service?

rickybobby · 2021-07-20T19:32:51.000Z

From what I read here and there, psa is now trying to knock out there preferred customers cards (Ludkins, graded gem). This makes sense with all post today. That or they just now updated the tracker, but I don’t think that’s the case

What does preferred even mean any more?

PSA “prefers” these middle men to deal with irate customers for them

Hey everyone! I bought a Korean BGS card recently, and although the cert comes up on their website, it doesn’t show in the POP report. Is there any way I can fix this?

I don’t know if we’re allowed to embed pics in this thread, but here’s a screenshot from the pop report.

Bump! Sorry everyone - any help would be appreciated.

Preferred means “subordinate to direct customers as they generate more revenue per card”.

At the end of the road, it’s just a word. PSA and the middlemen played all middlemen submitters with that word. GG

kingmidas1993 · 2021-07-21T21:44:39.000Z

Thoughts on the end of the agreement between GG and PSA? Will this impact other middleman services like Ludkins?

I haven’t heard anything from Ludkins, but Ludkins has a compulsory strike-off pending since 15 days ago from the UK company register which would lead to the legal entity no longer existing (Ludkins Ltd - Company Profile - Endole). What is the impact on cards submitted with Ludkins UK?

It seems logical that PSA wants to stop these services to avoid backlogs, but aside from the GG video released today there is no further information. Anyone got more information?

What is the oldest PSA submission that someone is still waiting on? I submitted bulk to Ludkins in december, so I am wondering how many more months I am looking at for cards to come back.

Good news for Ludkins UK/Europe for those still wanting to send to PSA in the future!
