CGC Cards Announces On-site Grading Fees for the 2024 National
Posted on 6/18/2024
CGC Cards™ is excited to once again offer the most attractive option for on-site grading at the upcoming 2024 National Sports Collectors Convention at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio, happening July 24-28, 2024. With on-site grading, submitters get their cards graded and returned by the end of the show, saving time and shipping fees. See below for pricing!
And more big news is on the way! CGC Cards is preparing to launch combined CGC and JSA autograph authentication services for cards just in time for The National, along with a full launch of CGC Signature Series for cards. Stay tuned for announcements with availability and pricing for autograph services.
Submit cards for on-site grading at Booth #6016
On-site grading, including ReHolder and CrossOver submissions, will be available Wednesday, July 24, through Saturday, July 27. WalkThrough submissions will be accepted until Sunday, July 28, at 12:00 p.m. ET. All you need is a free account to submit to CGC Cards 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. If on-site grading submissions need to be cut off early, submissions will still be accepted for grading at CGC Cards headquarters at the regular fees and turnaround times.
