Crazy fast at PSA. Why go with CGC now?

Well I for one would like to thank you guys for making me overly optimistic about PSA getting my order back quickly when I normally just throw it into the ether and am pleasantly surprised to see it return. This disappointment will hurt. :joy:

Curious if someone can share their knowledge/experience on CRC grade evaluation submissions at PSA. It’s currently over a month after the estimated completion date with no update (still in grading). I was under the impression that CRC submissions had some sort of priority since they advise you to write CRC on the box so they can pick it out quicker…

Mine took 6 months

It depends on the value of the item and how backlogged they are with requests. I’ve had them range from a few weeks to a few months.

What tier was this? Approximately how long did the “Grading” step take?

TCG Special , about 3-4 days.

Dang that’s crazy!

Mine’s also the special but it has been taking quite some time. Order prep was dec 16 and has been in grading step for about a week now.

I have around 50 cards

Hard to believe the TCG special took less than 10 days

Probably a mistake. My other TCG Special was pretty fast also.


Prep Dec 11
Complete Dec 29
This one was the reason i did another TCG special, i thought this was fast enough.

I have a TCG bulk order that arrived January 5th and entered grading today (1/17), so a pretty decent pace so far!

Wow, is bulk moving faster than value plus? Putting a sub together and genuinely conflicted

My order just moved into Assembly today, so bulk is definitely moving quickly! (19 days from entered to assembly)

Weird, I have one that arrived 12/17 that’s still in grading. I’d be interested to see where yours ships back from. Maybe mine got sent to the East coast?

They take forever, i had a first ed zard that needed to be reslabbed (due to someone using my cert on their fake) and I eventually found Nat Turner on IG to step in (there was also the fact the card almost never cleared customs). But prior to that the card stayed in CRC for over a month with no updates

That is interesting! I’ll let you know when they ship - I’m on the east coast, so my assumption would be that’s where mine was sent, but I’m not really sure how that works.

Any other with a reholder submission out there, PSA claims it’s a backlog for assembly on reholder, but feel this is starting to be a wile now. Went to Assembly 26th sept

My order shipped out today from CA! So all in all under a month for TCG bulk. Very happy with the turnaround time!

Entered: 1/5
Grading: 1/17
Assembly: 1/24
Shipped: 2/1

Thanks for the update! I got both of mine back today from NJ. So it would seem that NJ is moving faster through the assembly->shipped portion.

My Holiday Special arrived at PSA on 1/17 and I got grades on 2/2 :astonished: Looks like they’re cranking stuff out in the new year.

Funny enough, the Value order in the same box is only in assembly.
