Plus: CGC Submission Centre

 

Hey there -- does this mean that I would be able to make submissions directly @ the show? Just a drop off, or are they slabbed directly (while I wait, maybe ) @ the show? What's the skinny, kind Sir?

 

Please forgive my ignorance of such things. I have yet to make my 1st CGC submissions, but am eager to do so... any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks...

[Jason Truong]

If I'm not mistaken, there is no on-site grading. Just a table to submit your books, that get shipped to CGC for grading.

[Kevin Boyd]

Exactly right Jason. There will be a place for people to submit their books to CGC and they will be shipped down for grading and encapsulation then shipped back.

[SolitaireOne]

Exactly right Jason. There will be a place for people to submit their books to CGC and they will be shipped down for grading and encapsulation then shipped back.

 

I see ... so, just so I can prepare myself:

 

Will I still pay for the shipping TO Florida, then? The difference being that I simply hand-deliver my books for CGC while @ the show to ship themselves vs. doing it myself - yes? Is there (will there) be a different submission form to fill out? So, all standard fees/ postage/ insurance/ costs still apply, I expect?

 

Sorry for the noobie questions, but this seems like a solid opportunity for me to finally get some of my own items graded!

 

Thanks guys...

[ignimbrite]

I was wondering the same thing about teh CGC drop-pff center. In the show Paradise usually puts on in late April/June (which I go to every year as it is great) the representatives from CGC are there and we do not have to pay the shipping to CGC.

 

Is it the same here?

 

Thanks!

[Kevin Boyd]

You drop the books off, you only need to pay for your return shipping to Canada. You may choose to have the books shipped back to you at home by FedEx ground or shipped back to Paradise.
