About SDCC Málaga

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 is monumental, bringing the global spotlight of SDCC to Spain.

JSA on-site services for autographed memorabilia

Submit autographed memorabilia for Basic Certification (COA), and items are processed and finalized the same day. Collectors can also submit items for the JSA Letter of Authenticity (LOA). These are observed the same day, with final documented results sent later by mail. Go to SpenceLOA.com/fees for submission pricing.

Preparing submissions for the show

CGC will be accepting submissions of comics, magazines, TCGs, sports cards, and non-sports cards for authentication and grading.

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 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.

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

All TCG submissions will be graded at CGC's office in Munich, Germany, while all other submissions will be transported to CGC's headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, for authentication, grading, and encapsulation.
