BREAKING: PSA just cut turnaround times for Standard and Priority and is reopening the Value service tier 📷
Starting today, Standard and Priority turnaround times are both getting cut by 20 days, Standard now sits at 70-80 business days and Priority at 50-60.
Starting tomorrow, the Value tier reopens globally at $39.99 per card with an estimated turnaround time of 90 -100 business days, though new Value orders go behind everything already in line, and Value Bulk specifically is still closed for now.
PSA says the delays stemmed from a huge submission surge this spring, with April and May volume running 2.5 times last year’s pace. Even with that, PSA has graded 59 million items over the past three years alone, more than the previous 23 years combined, and the backlog is down to 7.2 million units on the way to the 5 million target needed to fully reopen every tier.
