Psa tracking process for auto's & photos

[Schlesinj]

I dropped an autographed photo off at the National (Andy Cooper/Biz Mackey and others) that was previously authenticated by PSA. Customer service reached out to me to say it is in the NJ office, but even said he may take a while to get logged. I paid to get it slabbed as a Type 1 and hopefully PSA/DNA authenticated.

This is my first ever submission, so no idea what to expect.

Might take a bit longer than you expected but I have never had an issue sending them photos.

A quick update, a gentleman from the west coast autograph authentication called me on my July submission and I finally have it entered as received - a big concern there with the baseball. However, I have been working with CS on the East Coast submission (received on June 3) and still no movement there. They still have not been entered as received - I'm still pushing but shouldn't have to do that.

Something else I've noticed, and I hope it helps someone, if not everyone. PSA still utilizes an older electronic form for photographs and autographs. When you complete the form you are given an option of printing or saving to your computer. Here is a BIG tip, print off 2 copies of the submission form OR print one copy and make a copy from that. Keep a record of the submission number on the form submitted to PSA. The reason I state this is: Once it is saved to your computer, each time you open it in the future it will assign a NEW submission number! If you don't have a copy of the form that was actually submitted with the item, you WILL NOT have an accurate submission number. Trust me on this - it took me getting lost and confused several times until I noticed the submission number changing each time I opened the saved form - crazy.

Hope this helps someone and I'll post again when my items make it to the next steps.
