JSA is the exclusive on-site authentication partner for the ASCC, and CGC Signature Series witnesses will also be available for in-person signings happening at the show.
In addition, ASCC attendees can drop off collectibles for grading at the regular fees and turnaround times. In addition to cards, submit coins, banknotes and stamps for expert certification by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) and Authenticated Stamp Guaranty (ASG), respectively.
A can't-miss event for card collectors!
The second annual ASCC is the perfect event to connect to the sports card community, with plenty of opportunities to buy, sell and trade. There are more than 300 vendors to browse and several planned activities for sports cards and TCGs. The ASCC has also collaborated with many well-known brands and collectors within the card collecting community to help promote the development of the sports and trading card industry in Asia. As the ASCC theme states, "Meet friends, enjoy collecting!"
This year, CGC Cards and JSA representatives will be at the show accepting submissions, answering questions and providing information on card grading and autograph services. Here are the basics:
- CGC Cards has graded more than 6 million sports cards, TCGs and non-sports cards since it was established by the Certified Collectibles Group in July 2020. Every card certified by CGC Cards is preserved in a crystal-clear holder and backed by an industry-leading guaranty of authenticity and grade.
- JSA was founded in 2005 and today is recognized as the world’s most esteemed autograph authentication service. The combination of JSA autograph authentication with CGC Cards’ expert grading and state-the-art holders — CGC x JSA — is a seamless solution to authenticate and preserve autographed cards.
- CGC Signature Series is the premier source for obtaining witnessed autographs from the world’s most revered creators, celebrities and athletes. Because all signatures are witnessed by a CGC representative, collectors can trust autographed collectibles with the iconic CGC Signature Series yellow label.
