Submit cards for on-site grading

WalkThrough submissions will still be accepted until Sunday, June 16, at 12:00 p.m. ET.

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.
