CGC takes submissions at Sport Card Expo Toronto, November 5–8
CGC's Official Submission Center, Grosnor Distribution Inc., will collect sports cards, TCGs, comics, video games and more at The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.
Sport Card Expo Toronto, held Thursday November 5 through Sunday November 8, 2026, will have CGC on site to take grading submissions.
How submissions work at the show
The event is held in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, at The International Centre. Grosnor Distribution Inc., CGC's Official Submission Center, takes in submissions at its own booth on the show floor.
Items gathered at the event get shipped to CGC's Sarasota, Florida headquarters, where they are authenticated, graded, and encapsulated. In other words, the booth is a drop-off point and the grading itself happens in Florida.
What CGC will accept
CGC takes a wide range of items: comics, magazines, video games, home video collectibles, sports cards, TCGs, and non-sports cards.
Autograph collectors have separate options. Two autograph services are also available from CGC: CGC Signature Series and JSA Authentic Autograph.
The partners and the show
Grosnor, which is described as the foremost distributor of trading and game cards in Canada, has worked with CGC as a partner since 2022. Sport Card Expo Toronto bills itself as the longest-running and largest collectibles show in Canada, bringing in dealers and vendors from across the country.
Visitors can shop the floor for cards and memorabilia, whether buying, selling, trading, or just looking around. Legendary athletes are also scheduled for photo ops and autograph sessions, and a guest list and the full signing schedule can be found online.
Context: a facilitator-led event model
The Toronto setup follows a pattern TCGKing has tracked across CGC's convention appearances. For CGC and JSA at GalaxyCon St. Louis, CGC submissions run through Agents of Slabs at America's Center. For Collect-A-Con Dallas and the East Bay Card Show, the facilitator is FGS Autographs. Toronto uses Grosnor, which CGC names as its Official Submission Center.

Several practical details have not been announced. Fees and service levels for submissions at the show are not stated. The Grosnor booth number and daily opening hours are not announced, nor are turnaround times and return shipping details. The athletes and guests attending are not named in the announcement itself.
