CGC Video Games, CGC Trading Cards and CSG Accepting Submissions at Retropalooza

CGC Video Games™, CGC Trading Cards® and Certified Sports Guaranty® (CSG®) are excited to be attending Retropalooza in Arlington, Texas, October 22-23. CGC Video Games will be accepting submissions for video game grading, and CGC Trading Cards and CSG will be accepting cards. Collectors can also look forward to lots of swag and fun at the booth!

Retropalooza began in 2013 for fans of all things retro, including toys, music and especially video games. What began as a one-day event with 350 visitors has grown into two days welcoming thousands of fans each year and hosting many guest panelists. This is just the second opportunity for video game collectors to submit games for grading at a show.
