CSG Attending the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Club Show in Wilmington, MA
Posted on 10/15/2021
Hey, sports card fans! Certified Sports Guaranty® (CSG™) is attending the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Club’s 36th Sports Card and Memorabilia Show, taking place at the Shriner’s Auditorium in Wilmington, Massachusetts, on November 5-7, 2021. Representatives will be at booth L4/L5/L6 to accept submissions, answer questions and explain CSG’s services and benefits. Also attending the show are sports legends, such as Tiny Archibald, Robert Parrish, Bob Sweeny and more, so you’ll be in good company!
Before you start scouting sports stars, stop by the CSG booth to submit your cards through CSG’s Express Drop-off service. When you have your submission prepared ahead of time, you can skip the submission line and quickly hand off your cards to a CSG rep — hassle free. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions to get your submission ready.
Plus, pick up some CSG swag! The reps will have baseball caps, bags, pens and the custom-designed CSG sticker, which could be a collectible of its own one day.
Since launching in February 2021, CSG has been embraced by sports card collectors seeking expert and impartial third-party grading services. With world-class expertise, advanced technology and the best holder in the industry, CSG is changing the game, and submitting at the Greater Boston Sports Card and Memorabilia Show is a great way to discover CSG’s services.
Please note: CSG will accept Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering card submissions to CGC® Trading Cards at this event, but please refrain from bringing comics, magazines and posters.
