JSA on-site services for autographed memorabilia
Submit autographed memorabilia for Basic Certification (COA), and items are processed and finalized the same day. Collectors can also submit items for the JSA Letter of Authenticity (LOA). These are observed the same day, with final documented results sent later by mail. Go to SpenceLOA.com/fees for submission pricing.
Preparing submissions for the show
Submit sports cards, TCGs, and non-sports cards for CGC grading. Autographed cards may be submitted for CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph certification. Simply take the following steps before arriving:

- Go to the Express Drop-off sign to finalize your submission.
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.
