Feeling pretty lucky with how quick these have been going. These were the last Value Bulk I was able to get in before shutdown. Sent them off middle of June. I expect the one still in Research will take a while since there’s a lot of phone cards that weren’t in the PSA database. Pretty crazy that the others are all passed grading though. We’ll see if they actually finish them super early or if Assembly and QA will just take another 5 months.

It’s wild that they basically downgrade your submission tier (retroactively) without any form of compensation. Could’ve chosen to simply close regular or apply this to future incoming submissions. Wouldn’t expect that from a company like PSA though.

I got the email an hour after I dropped off an order. So annoying.

Beckett US is wild. They’re still advertising their Express Service with a 15-business-day turnaround, yet they’re clearly not meeting that timeframe, with no communication or updates to customers 
Can anyone comment on how Tag is on their fastest two Tiers how long is it actually taking
Priority - 5days
Walk through - 2-3 days
above are as advertised.

Yeah my one card express order just shipped yesterday, invoiced/received July 14th, shipped August 24th. About double the turnaround time.
All that for a 9.5 that’s gonna get cracked! I reached out for some kind of potential voucher or something just as a shot in the dark for compensation.
Value bulk finished aug 5th still in completing and no tracking 
I did walkthrough a month ago and it was as advertised.
Mine was received on 4/24 and I just checked after my last post here (early August?), and it’s still stuck on received lol
Mine was supposed to be completed on 8/21. It’s been in QA checks for over a week I believe.
On the other hand, I had an order sent early May that was expected to be completed 9/24. That order was completed two weeks ago. Just seems to be a bit of a semi unorganized queue that some get lucky and others unlucky with.

In my experience value plus and value max are the biggest scams and most likely to be way behind schedule
Standard value tier is generally (but not always) way ahead of schedule
So i had 14 active psa subs
3 recently completed so i have 11 active but even before then i have been regularly submitting
ALL of my value tiers are ahead except for a single value that is slated for Nov 3rd and is still research and Id arrived 6/10
The rest of my value stuff that wasnt supposed to be done until October - December has already been returned to me
Express is regularly behind but i still get the cards back roughly 5-10 days past the final expected date so it doesnt feel TOO bad
Value plus and value max are always behind for me and miss targets by substantial margins.
Regular tier might actually be the worst of all. I cant recommend to anyone. Its the real value bulk tier but for $80
There is no rhyme or reason to their system. I wish they were organized like CGC to the point where i know when my sub will be done based on similar subs from similar dates.
Psa on the other hand, if I submit 2 express tier in the same box on the same day i will have drastically different cert numbers (like literally separated by hundreds of thousands of cards… HOW? and they wont necessarily move in step

Today my Chicago Nationals “End of Show Super Express” order finally completed, after being only 1 month behind schedule and with $1,597 in upcharges -.-
Hilariously I also got an email today that they’re ‘ready for pickup at the Nationals booth!’ 
Guess I better hop on a plane!!
Grades were mediocre but not entirely unexpected.
I always thought only dents and creases could go below PSA 6, but today I learned chips do too. The $1050 upcharge was a nice lesson too -.- . After a lot of email debate, PSA finally lowered upcharge to $999 since it obviously did not make it back at the show .
$700 upcharge on this, lowered after debate to $650. Hey it’s a double holo, I’ll take it.
After debate, no upcharge lol. They did also give me a $150 credit for next time. I never knew it had a swirl until today!

I could not recommend grading through CGC directly currently. The TaT are insane direct. I have had 3 orders arrive after and complete through CGC x Fanatics in the time this submission is still sitting in Received.

do you then just withdraw from the vault? How long does that take roughly? Thanks for the info!
Anyone have turnaround time data for CGC Fanatics?
Yes, I either withdraw from the vault or sell through Fanatics. The withdrawal from the Vault is generally very quick and I get my cards back about a week or two at most. @Vertemes the most recent post of mine is some TaT information for that service.
