PSA Complete-Through Tracking

Not a whole lot of difference between Q Specials and Economy submits - still 9 - 11 months out????

WTF!

Any other business that couldn't service a customer for 9 - 11 months would be heading "Out of Business" pretty quickly.

Oh Yea - A Mudhen!

The psa ctd does NOT include group submissions through dealers so it not accurate, depending on what percentage of cards in the backlog are group submissions. For example, in my case, the Ctd states 11/10/2020 for value vintage BUt my vintage bulk was entered on 10/12/2020.

Where the cards, they are all graded.


Wheres the grader, he left since there was no cards.

From what I have heard from a few sources, now, is that the larger auction houses do not have to play by these rules nor do the high volume submitters. They are still getting fast turnaround times and many of the grading tiers that are not available to us have still been available to them since the suspension.

When you are as important to the industry as PSA is you can do whatever you want. People will still line up and accept it.

Untrue. Some Tesla orders of special models have taken longer. There are other examples. I agree this has taken a very long time but what did you want them to do? hire unqualified people? you can’t just call temp star and have them send over 5 card graders. It was an unforeseen spike and they had no way to handle it. I love the clowns that scream and holler like they would have been able to handle the issue. But hey it wouldn’t be the internet if foolish people
With little knowledge of facts weren’t screaming like they know it all.

thanks for posting these updates. always fun to see that stuff visually.

hypothetically based on all that data, how long would you think a submission that was entered in february 2021 would be waiting? 6 weeks per current month of backlog?

I couldn't say because there's a lot more going on behind those single lines, but it doesn't strike me as a unreasonable hope. You might not be in that bad a shape, though. I had a Q-Special logged in January, and it just went to grading, so seven months is way ahead of eleven. Not that it couldn't get stuck at the stage for a while.

The numbers that I'd really like to have are the 99% Complete-Through (that way a few lagging shipments can't hold up the numbers) and the %-for-Month skipping ahead when the preceding month reaches 99%.

I need to reholder a couple high end cards but dont want to send them in with the complete through tracking showing still not complete with January reholders. I Called PSA today trying to get some insight on reholders. They told me if you submit via the expedited reholder service that its faster (the $100 Tier or higher) anyone submit reholders lately via this so-called expedited service and was it faster?

It has struck me over the last few months that more consignment lots have SGC graded cards, especially when the auction house indicates "We have selected XXX cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC."
Anyone else noticing this?

Some examples include:

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=88982

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=89085

I've seen this in other AH's recent auctions.

You'll definitely see more new SGC in our Pre War auction than you would have before all this went down.

a submission i had logged at end of february is now in the "grading" phase. assume that means it's still months away, but finally got out of that "research and ID" phase which felt like forever
