CGC Trading Cards Help Center

For step-by-step packaging instructions detailing how to prepare your trading cards for shipment to CGC Trading Cards, click here.

Submissions to CGC Trading Cards and CSG can be sent in the same shipping box as long as the submissions are packaged separately within the box and each submission is accompanied by a completed packing slip. CSG submissions must be accompanied by a completed CSG packing slip, and CGC Trading Cards submissions must be accompanied by a completed CGC Trading Cards packing slip.

 

CSG and CGC Trading Cards submissions cannot be returned to submitters in the same package, however, because the companies have separate grading processes and teams.

 

Please note that submissions of other collectibles, such as comics, coins and paper money, cannot be shipped together in the same package. In addition, shipping trading and sports cards together in the same package may result in a longer turnaround time.

Any damaged, unsealed or poorly sealed packages will be rejected and returned by the shipper. Please securely seal packages with reinforced shipping tape to prevent tampering en route.
