PSA Estimated Turnaround Time Update (November 2025)
We’re seeing continued high demand for our authentication and grading services in 2025, and we’re grateful for your continued trust and patience.
We are actively working to improve Estimated Turnaround Times, keep you informed, and set clear expectations.
What's Changing?
Beginning November 20, 2025, PSA will introduce updated Estimated Turnaround Times across service levels. This update strengthens our commitment to clarity and consistency, giving collectors a more complete understanding of the grading process.
Historically, Estimated Turnaround Times began once a submission was unboxed under supervision and itemized. Going forward, they will begin the moment your order arrives at a PSA facility. You may notice longer estimates as a result, but nothing about our process is slowing down. This change simply provides a more accurate view of the time your items spend with PSA, helping you plan your collecting, trading, and selling decisions with greater confidence.
This update applies to all PSA categories except autograph-only authentication, tickets, and media items such as video games, DVDs, CDs, and Blu-rays. It is a permanent change, and we’ll continue aligning additional categories to this standard over time.
