CGC Grading Services

Grade with confidence through our official CGC submission partnership, featuring an on-site grading specialist who manages every step of the process once your cards are selected. No paperwork, no guesswork, just professional handling from start to finish.

Whether you’re grading Pokémon, Sports Cards, Magic: The Gathering, or other TCGs supported by CGC, your cards are carefully prepared and submitted with expert oversight.

This full-service offering includes CGC submission, professional prep, insurance, and expedited shipping to CGC as part of our grading concierge service. The service is available for cards pulled in live breaks or via in-store drop-off. Turnaround time is approximately 30 days once received by CGC.

Once your cards are returned from grading, you may pick them up in store at no additional charge, or choose to have them shipped to you for an additional shipping fee. Shipped orders will be sent to the address provided on the submission form, while pickup orders will be held in secure storage until collection.

Current on-site grading specialist hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 2:00 PM–6:00 PM.
