About the Midwest Monster Show

The Midwest Monster Show is a biannual sports card show with more than 500 vendor and dealer tables who are ready to buy, sell and trade collectibles throughout the weekend. The show will also include special guests and athletes who will be available for signings. With plenty of activities for adults and kids alike, you won't want to miss the show!

CGC and JSA representatives will be accepting submissions, answering questions and providing information on collectibles certification and autograph authentication services at the show. Bring your favorite collectibles to the show to take advantage of fast turnaround times and save one way on shipping fees! Further instructions on the submission process are below.

Preparing submissions for the show

CGC is accepting submissions of sports cards, TCGs, non-sports cards and comics for grading. Autographed cards may be submitted for CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph certification, and autographed memorabilia may be submitted for JSA-only services.

To streamline submissions at the show, please take the following steps before arriving:

1. Create a CGC account here. All it takes is a free account to submit, and paid members get additional discounts and benefits.
2. Go to the online submission form for cards or comics. (For JSA memorabilia submissions, simply bring your item to the show.)
3. Select “Mail-In or Show Drop-Off” to start your submission. Please note that you’ll have the option to choose JSA autograph authentication for cards after choosing your primary grading services.
4. Complete the submission form and print the packing slips.

Important: To ensure that your submission process stays on schedule, please place your collectibles in the order listed on the packing slip. Please bring BOTH copies of the packing slip with your collectibles to the show drop-off. Failure to do so will result in delays.

5. Keep your collectibles safe and secure until you drop off your submission (including the packing slip) with a representative.
6. Go to the Express Drop-off sign to finalize your submission.

All submissions will be transported to CGC’s headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, for authentication, grading and encapsulation.
