Frequently asked questions
How long does PSA grading take in 2026?
PSA's current turnaround targets, in business days: Standard 90-100, Priority 70-80, Express 20-30, Super Express 10-15, Premier 7-10. The clock starts when PSA receives your submission, not when you ship it.
What is the fastest PSA service?
Premier is PSA's fastest service at 7–10 business days for $599.00, covering cards up to $10,000.
Are PSA turnarounds calendar days or business days?
Business days. PSA skips weekends and U.S. federal holidays. Transit time to and from PSA is not included in the quoted turnaround.
How accurate are these estimates?
PSA's quoted turnarounds are targets, not guarantees. Actual times can run longer during peak volume (holiday, after new product releases). The Value family historically runs over its estimate more often than the faster tiers.
How do I check my submission status?
Log into psacard.com and open Submission History. You'll see the phase your order is in (Received, Research, Grading, QA, Shipped). PSA emails on phase changes, and certified cards appear in the public Set Registry shortly after grading.
