Submit cards for on-site grading
On-site grading for sports cards will be offered on Friday, December 10, and Saturday, December 11 (until 3 p.m.), for CSG’s Unlimited WalkThrough, WalkThrough, Express, Standard and Economy grading tiers as well as its ReHolder and High Value ReHolder services. Sub-grades, autograph grades and pedigrees will also be available by request at CSG’s regular pricing.
On-site grading submissions are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited, and attendees are encouraged to submit at the start of the show. You will be able to check your CSG account to see when your submission is ready to pick up. If CSG needs to cut off on-site grading submissions early, submissions will still be accepted for CSG to grade at its headquarters at its normal fees and turnaround times.
You must be a CSG Associate or higher member to submit cards for grading. To save time, please complete the CSG Online Submission Form in advance. An option for “Collectors Con On-site Grading” will be added by December 6. For detailed submission instructions, scroll to the “How to Submit” section below.

How to submit
To streamline submissions at the show, please take the following steps before arriving:
- Become a CSG member. To join CSG, click here. Memberships start at just $25/year!
- Complete the CSG Online Submission Form under “On-site Grading” (after December 3) or “Show Drop-off” and print the packing slip. Make sure your account number, shipping address, return shipping method and requested services are included on the paperwork.
- Carefully insert each of your cards in a CSG Card Sleeve or similar product.
- Place your cards in the exact order that they are listed on the packing slip.
- Keep your cards safe and secure until you are able to give your submission to a rep at the booth.
If there are 10 or fewer cards in your submission, CSG representatives will check them in front of you at the show. If the submission has more than 10 cards, it will be placed in a tamper-proof container and then opened later under security cameras.
CSG will provide tablets at the booth for submitters to use for sign-up and submission purposes but joining and completing submission forms in advance will save you time.
