Submit cards for on-site grading
On-site card grading, including CrossOver and ReHolder submissions, will be available Friday, June 14 through Saturday, June 15. WalkThrough submissions will still be accepted until Sunday, June 16, at 12:00 p.m. ET. All you need is a free CGC account to submit for on-site grading, but paid members receive discounts (and other benefits). Learn more and select your membership level here.
On-site grading submissions are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. CGC Cards expects extremely high demand and space is limited, so submitters are encouraged to submit at the start of the show.
