CGC has announced a pilot program called "Quick Grade" that will be available at select major card shows starting in May 2026. Collectors can drop off cards in the morning and pick up graded slabs by end of day. The service will be offered at $200 per card with a limit of two cards per person per event.
How It Works
Drop-off opens when the show doors open. Cards are graded on-site in a controlled environment. Pick-up begins at 2pm. CGC has confirmed Quick Grade keeps the same grading standards. The only difference is a faster process powered by on-site graders.
Confirmed Show Dates
The pilot will launch at the National Sports Collectors Convention in July 2026, followed by Card Con Chicago in August and the Fall Burbank Card Show in October. CGC has stated they will evaluate expanding the program based on pilot results.
