Get Your Submissions Prepped for San Diego Comic-Con Málaga in Spain

Certified Guaranty Company® (CGC®) is thrilled to continue expanding the availability of its expert authentication and grading services across the globe! The first opportunity to submit comics in the EU is San Diego Comic-Con Málaga, happening September 25-28, and the CGCcomics.de website is now live so that you can prep your submissions.

CGC first began accepting TCGs, sports cards and non-sports cards at the company’s Munich office, which also supports NGC for coins and PMG for banknotes. Now for the first time ever, collectors can submit comics directly to CGC in Munich, making it easier than ever to safeguard your treasures with world-class certification.

Go here to check out services and fees for comic book grading in the EU. These services and fees apply to submissions made at SDCC Málaga and to the Munich office.

Join CGC and JSA at San Diego Comic-Con Málaga

To kick off this exciting expansion, CGC and JSA, its autograph authentication affiliate, are attending SDCC Málaga. At the booth, CGC and JSA will be accepting submissions of comics and cards for grading, as well as memorabilia for autograph authentication. CGC Signature Series and JSA witnesses will also be available at the show, and JSA is offering on-site stickering!

San Diego Comic-Con has grown from a small gathering of comic fans in 1970 to the world’s premier pop culture convention, drawing more than 130,000 attendees each year and making headlines across the globe. It’s where blockbuster films are unveiled, the biggest names in comics and entertainment meet their fans and history-making moments in fandom are born. To have this powerhouse event expand beyond the United States for the first time is monumental, and its arrival in Spain signals an exciting new chapter, bringing the global spotlight of SDCC to Andalusia.

Submitting collectibles at the show

Submissions for grading will be accepted at the CGC x JSA booth, with computers provided for submitters to use for sign-up and submission purposes. All CGC grading submissions will be shipped with insurance to CGC’s headquarters in the US for certification. After certification, submissions will be shipped back (again with insurance) to be returned to submitters.

Note: Video games and home video collectibles are not being accepted at this time, and Quick Submit is not an option for this event.

Preparing your collectibles for submission

Why wait in line with your submission? Submit your prepared collectibles through the Express Drop-off Service and quickly hand off your collectibles to a CGC x JSA representative. Simply take the following steps before arriving:

1. Create a CGC account here. All it takes is a free account to submit, and paid members get additional discounts and benefits.
2. Go to the online submission form for comics or cards. (For JSA memorabilia submissions, just bring your item to the show.)
3. Select “Mail-In or Show Drop-Off” to start your submission. Please note that you’ll have the option to choose JSA autograph authentication for comics and cards after choosing your primary grading services.
4. Complete the submission form and print the packing slips.

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.


5. Keep your collectibles safe and secure until you drop off your submission (including the packing slip) with a representative.
6. Go to the Express Drop-off sign to finalize your submission.

All submissions will be transported to CGC’s headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, for authentication, grading and encapsulation.
