Default How long does it take PSA to actually 'grade' a card?

Because of the value of a card, I submitted one under 8 day express.

They create an elaborate little screen of the stages for the grading--

Arrived, Order Prep, Research & ID, Grading, Assembly, QA Check1, QA2, Ship.

How could it take more than a couple hours per card from start to finish? It took a couple days of just research and ID. It is a T206 card. What exactly are they researching?

Why does it take a day to make a label? Are they teaching someone how to read/write English at the same time? Are the labels hand drawn?

Order prep? Isn't that just a fancy phrase for opening the box?

I get they get tons of submissions, but overall, it seems like a wildly inefficient company. One person should be able to do 25 cards a day. More if they handle it in an assembly line manner.

Oh, and my 8 day express? I'm on day 14.
