\"\"Collectibles grading powerhouse CGC, along with JSA, are returning to San Diego Comic-Con this year with exclusive giveaways, signings, and of course \u2014 submissions at the booth.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with CGC, attendees can bring in a broad array of items (including comic books and trading cards to video games, home video releases, and memorabilia) for grading or autograph authentication right at their booth.<\/p>\n

For 2026, CGC will have a new location. Find them at Booth #301 and #5500, near the Silver and Gold Pavilion, with CGC Signature Series remaining in Artist Alley at Booth #4315.<\/p>\n

Over at Booth #5500 attendees can take part in the annual CGC Pin Tour. Submit an item for grading to receive an exclusive show submission pin, a Pin Tour lanyard, and a CGC Scratch-off Ticket. If you collect three show exclusive pins you can receive the Tour Pin #1, with Tour Pin #2 given out to those who collect all submission pins for all events on the Tour (San Diego, MegaCon, C2E2, HeroesCon, Baltimore Comic-Con and New York Comic-Con.) Scratch-Off Tickets will offer attendees a chance to win discounts, membership perks and more.<\/p>\n

CGC will also host free pin giveaways, limited to one play, per person, per show.<\/p>\n

Stop by Booth #5500 for free pre-screening of comics and cards on Thursday and Saturday from 11:30am-12:30pm, with CGC President Matt Nelson, Vice President of Comics Grading Shawn Caffrey, and card grader John D\u2019Amico.<\/p>\n

CGC will also host several in-booth signings during San Diego Comic-Con, including:<\/p>\n

Johnathan Tyler Christopher (Thursday-Friday, 1pm-2pm)
\nRick & Morty Cast Members Ian Cardoni, Spencer Grammer and Harry Belden (Saturday, 10am-11:30am)
\nMy Hero Academia voice actor David Mantraga (Friday & Saturday 2:30pm-4pm)
\nGarbage Pail Kids & CRANIACS artist Joe Simko (Sunday, 11am-11:30am, FREE)
\nAbominable Toys\u2019 Chomp Co-Creator Connor McConnell (Saturday, 1pm-2pm).<\/p>\n

CGC will also be bringing two new DC variant covers to San Diego Comic-Con: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and a Batman #1, both by Johnathan Tyler Christopher. Attendees who submit any collectible for grading will be able to pick one up for free at Booth #301 and #4315, while supplies last.<\/p>\n

Both are limited to 1,500 copies.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re also invited to join CGC at their panel, Raw To Slab, on Saturday at 4:30pm in Room 26AB with Matt Nelson and Shawn Caffrey.<\/p>\n

In addition, attendees can follow CGC on Instagram to discover hints for the Golden Egg Mystery Box Hunt, receive a free Mothra foil card for submitting any Abominable Toys card for grading at Booth #301, take part in a CRANIACS scavenger hunt for a-piece puzzle card, and receive a free Cybercel promo card with any card grading submission.<\/p>\n
