CGC Trading Cards and CSG Attending Culture Collision in Atlanta

CGC Trading Cards™ and Certified Sports Guaranty® (CSG®) are the Official Grading Services of the Culture Collision Trade Show at Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, being held February 25-27, 2022. Company representatives will be accepting submissions, answering questions, providing information on services and giving away CSG and CGC Trading Cards swag. Also attending are sport stars like Michael Vick, Chad Johnson and many more whom you do not want to miss.

Spend more time exploring the show by submitting your prepared cards through the companies’ Express Drop-off Service.

Cards submitted at the show will also have an expedited two-week turnaround time. (The two-week turnaround time does not include the time to ship cards from the show nor to ship graded cards back to submitters).
