About Gen Con

Gen Con is the longest-running and largest annual event in North America devoted to tabletop gaming culture. It began in Wisconsin in 1968 and is now held each summer in Indianapolis, Indiana. In addition to shopping from hundreds of exhibiting companies at the convention, attendees can participate in a range of ticketed events related to board games, card games, roleplaying games, seminars, entertainment, and more.

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