The Coupon in question is on the top row of this photo. Sorry it's sideways, and that I don't have a solo shot. But collectors can clearly see that it's a Type-2. Thanks for handling it Bob. IMG_1539.jpg

Dealing with PSA you best have the patience of Job. Imagine if you submitted to Beckett?? They have to wait over a year.

[bobbyw8469]

PSA closed until March 30th.

Graders should take a large box of cards home and grade them there!
I can hear it now, "Where did I put that box of cards?"!

[lowpopper]

PSA just sent an email saying all operations in Orange County, California have ceased.

Looks like we are stuck on assembly for a while.

LOL, the crew not having eyes explains so much with my last submission.

LOL....How can a skeleton crew be at PSA when they have strict stay at home orders?? I don't like our order being "stuck" as much as you guys. But it is what it is. Hopefully normalcy will return soon. I haven't seen my girlfriend in almost a month now.

[Republicaninmass]

they've been grading and processing orders

I've had 2 head to q2 in the past week

Well.....I'm guessing the ones that actually put the cards in slabs and seal them aren't showing up....cause we have been at "aseembly" for quite some time.

[Snapolit1]

Hey, at least when this saga plays out 7-8 months from now your cards will be safely entombed in slabs of plastic.

[BengoughingForAwhile]

And look on the bright side. Any modern cards you sent to PSA in this "submission" will be coming back as vintage!

[teza11]

Looks like PSA is (sorta) back in business.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

April 15, 2020

Dear PSA Customers,

First of all, I hope this message finds you and your family healthy and safe during this unprecedented time. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges for all of us as we continue to try and slow the spread.

Second, as it pertains to business, I want you to know that PSA appreciates your continued support. You each represent a vital part of the hobby and we thank you for your loyalty and patronage. As we previously reported, the company ceased authentication and grading operations in our California and New Jersey offices on March 20, 2020.

Following today’s corporate announcement, PSA is slowly reopening its California operation, bringing back a limited crew of employees, effective immediately. That said, safety is our top priority. We have implemented a number of health and safety measures, including changing the configuration of our workstations and limiting the number of employees that may be onsite at any time in order to maintain social distancing. We are also regularly sanitizing our offices and adopting other health and safety protocols.

During this time, while you may see some order movement, please be patient as we are still not back to full capacity and therefore service levels remain limited. Please note that we are able to accept orders at Economy service and higher, but are not able to currently accept Bulk orders. PSA autograph and memorabilia authentication services are accepting orders in California only. PSA’s New Jersey office remains closed.

We know things are slow for everybody right now, but we will survive this pandemic and hopefully be back to full capacity soon. This is a small step in the right direction towards that goal.

Be safe,

Steve Sloan
President

Good luck everyone! I am new around here and have about 60 T206 that I am interested in grading (nothing amazing, except that they are T206s!). Maybe I can jump in on one of these in the future.

That's a lot of T206's...Bear in mind the dollar limit is $100 and under.

Still waiting! Better be the mother of all pops!

For what it's worth, I made a phone call yesterday. Not sure how much good it will do. Was told what I already knew. They are operating on a skeleton crew. They will be working on the oldest orders first, yadda yadda. The card is still on assembly with TWO errors reported on labels. One involves a Non-Sports card (vintage autos) that has the wrong car in the label and the other is some kind of old card that was labeled the wrong back. Sorry, so much time has passed I forgot the exact ordeal, but that is it in a nutshell. I'm not sure they are ready to move forward even without the two errors.

[Republicaninmass]

Thanks Bobby! We know it ain't you

I just got an email that a PSA order I mailed on 12/29/19 has shipped.
All things considered I suppose 4+ months isn't too bad.

[Mike D.]

I keep forgetting about the submission, then get reminded when someone updates this thread. I'm betting by the time the pop comes, it'll feel like getting free graded cards!

If you subbed Michael Jordan cards, you might have to pay more due to the increased value...lol

[Republicaninmass]

I'll take the over John! I doubt ANYONE thought it would take this long. Here's to good poppage

[teza11]

So I'll ask the obvious question. Why are December bulk submissions popping before our early October one? I understand that we have a couple of errors in the group, but is that really holding up completion by 2 months?

At the current rate, they should go with the value when it arrived there.

If I had to guess, the research guys are non essential. As long as there aren't any issues, it's like an assembly linem. Equate it to a football game. I threw the red flag so the order is under review. Now they have to go in and see who got it right - me, or the graders. That is me guessing what has transpired.

[tonyo]

Maybe we'll get the december sub back before the october sub..

[bobbyw8469]

Both errors have been resolved. The cards are in assembly still, but seeing the labels corrected to what they should be is promising.

Apparently, the submitters are responsible for catching their own errors. I caught two, but out of 500 cards, many of which I am unfamiliar with, I apologize if I missed some.

But you caught the one on my card, so thank you.

[wondo]

2. T207 Terrance Turner
3. T207 George Mogridge
4. 1909 Ogden’s #55 Jack Johnson

Phew!

There are two outstanding subs. Was this on the Oct sub or the December sub?

[bobbyw8469]

Since we have turned a pretty major corner, let me pose THIS question. As usual, I will post the grades here, with the cert numbers omitted (Thanks to some joker deciding to add cards on the group sub to a phantom registry). If there is ANYONE who is not cool with the grades being posted here, SPEAK NOW or FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!!
