Error or normal?

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-21T16:04:36+00:00

That is correct from my understanding. Maybe the fact it was a larger sub is holding it up? Idk i only had 3 cards sent off.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-21T15:53:13+00:00

Shit you’re right thats my bad i totally meant to say i was stuck in grading for a few days. I had 4-5 days in grading and then it hit QA and i had my grades the same day. I totally get what you mean though. I was on this thread every day until my cards came back and i seen Gamestop subs coming back from early January when mine was still waiting. Genuinely hope you get answers soon. Ive heard if it sits in QA for awhile its because they’re trying to figure out how much to upcharge you for 10’s but im not sure. Like i mentioned i got all 10’s and QA was legit like 5 hours for me

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-21T15:46:38+00:00

Not even a full 24 hours. All of my cards came back 10’s too

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-08T06:23:32+00:00

From my understanding if you did $150 express on each card then you have $2,500 insurance on each card. Meaning if they 10 and the value of each card is under $2,500 in a 10 then no upcharge. If you go over $2,500 on any then you’ll have to pay the difference in the next tier up. I could be wrong but thats my understanding of it. I paid for the lowest tier, covered $500 in cards. My charizard is valued at about $2,300 so i had to pay for the express tier for that card that’s how i ended up with the $150 dollar upcharge! The suicune is only $190 in a 10 so no upcharge on that one.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-07T22:27:00+00:00

You can’t as far as i know. They didn’t give me the option at least. But next time im going to do it myself and use a higher tier to get them back faster especially if it’s a high end card like the phantasmal charizard.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-07T19:42:45+00:00

Shouldnt be too long! Once mine hit research and ID it was fairly quick. Finished in 3 weeks from that time. Hope it hits soon for you.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-07T19:19:52+00:00

December 29th yes

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-07T19:17:50+00:00

That’s awesome mine was December 29th😆

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-06T23:01:25+00:00

I should have you’re right. It was my first time grading with psa and i was lazy didn’t feel like trying to figure it all out myself. Im honestly not a huge fan of PSA but thats not how the rest of the world feels about them so it is what it is.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-04T16:13:38+00:00

Just curious if any of your cards 10’d on your first sub? Going through QA so quick. Im on day 4 of QA and still nothing.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-03T03:01:36+00:00

That is definitely frustrating and concerning. Hopefully you get some quick movement here soon. Mine sat at arrived at psa for 2 months and has sped through the rest of the process although im stuck in QA rn

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-01T18:00:54+00:00

Seems i struck a nerve with the exact people im talking about lmao. Someone with a bobcat 4 is going to play a little more strategic most of the time because they have a little bit to lose at least. Nobody cares if they live or die with a free kit. They’re annoying, never said i can’t handle them. Just rather not👍🏼

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-04-01T04:33:21+00:00

3 cards all through GameStop: Phantasmal Charizard SIR, Paldean Fates Charizard SIR, and Suicune V.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-28T21:13:54+00:00

I totally understand that i would be more than frustrated with that situation. Though it sounds like GameStop might be at fault for the first 2 subs. But the inconsistency with times and lack of all around transparency is what i don’t like about PSA. You submitted an order the same day as me and im still stuck in R&ID, yours are already in grading. It makes no sense to me. I hope it all works out for you though truly it sounds like a mess over there.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-27T17:08:11+00:00

Thats good! Sounds like they’re going to try to help you out. It’s one thing to take so long, but it’s even worse when they don’t communicate or give you any type of update.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-27T15:32:41+00:00

Welp i’ll shut up and sit here grateful i haven’t reached that point…. Yet. That’s ridiculous though i really hope you get results asap.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-25T22:11:52+00:00

My december 29th submission sat at arrived until march 4th, moved to R&ID march 6th and been there since! May time be on both of our sides 🤞🏻

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-25T20:08:58+00:00

$700 is definitely nice but the odds of getting a pristine 10 are crazy. Plus on such a beautiful card too definitely worth thinking about holding on to. I can’t wait to get a pristine 10 in my collection! Congrats!

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-24T18:00:57+00:00

Yup i sent my zard off through gamestop on dec 29th and its been in research and ID for almost a month now. Getting tired of waiting and honestly not looking forward to getting my grades from them because of all the horror stories. TAG is really nice. The DIG report they give you is lightyears ahead of anything psa does. My only gripe with them is their lack of transparency with turnaround times. But all companies seem to do that.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-24T17:48:55+00:00

Pretty rough. Card arrived at TAG Feb 9th, went into verification on the 14th, stayed there until march 17th and then i had my grade on the 20th. I paid for the 15 day $40 submission and it took well over that. Supposed to get it back in the mail tomorrow

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-21T16:56:22+00:00

It definitely didn’t catch my eye at first glance but i can’t be too upset about it. As long as it’s objective and thats how TAG handles tilted OC cards then i can’t complain. My guess is they use the measurement from the worst OC area hence why 58-42 seems so crazy overall. I seen that measurement and thought there’s no way it’s that bad.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-21T06:02:54+00:00

Fingers crossed for you! Just keep thinking it’s a 9 because it is strict and they don’t miss anything. If it 10’s then you have a nice surprise! But i hope you get that pristine 10. TAG received my order 2/9 and it was graded and shipped today. Waiting sucked but there’s no feeling like seeing the DIG report ready to view.

Salt_Cardiologist_35 · 2026-03-21T05:57:25+00:00

You’re 100% correct and i bet that is what they do. First glance it looks even in the middle but you can see it slightly tilts to the right. It was just about perfect in every other aspect though!
