CGC via Grosnor at Edmonton Expo: Cards Accepted, Graded in Sarasota

Card Grading News opened CGC's primary notice on September 14, 2026: Submit to CGC through Grosnor at the Edmonton Expo (posted September 3, 2026 on cgccomics.com).

Event basics

Decision rule: An Official Submission Center booth is a hand-off point. Do not expect CGC encapsulation before you leave Edmonton Expo; grading happens after transport to Sarasota.

What Grosnor accepts for CGC

CGC describes Grosnor as Canada's leading trading and game card distributor and a trusted partner since 2022. As an Official Submission Center in Canada, Grosnor will accept all CGC submissions at its Edmonton Expo event booth. The notice explicitly includes comics, magazines, TCGs, sports cards, non-sports cards, video games, and home video collectibles.

All submissions, per CGC, will be transported to CGC's headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, for authentication, grading, and encapsulation. Card Grading News is repeating that logistics line because show drop-off copy is often misread as same-weekend grading.

Cards and TCG are in scope

For this audience, the important inclusion is explicit: TCGs, sports cards, and non-sports cards are listed alongside comics. Collectors packing Pokemon, sports, or non-sports cards for the Grosnor booth are inside the categories CGC named. Fees still live on CGC's own service pages; this brief does not invent show-special prices CGC did not publish in the notice.

How this fits CGN coverage

Pair this with the Florida facilitator window: CGC and JSA at Ocala Comic Con (FGS drop-off to Sarasota). Both shows share the same core logistics warning: booth acceptance is not on-site CGC grading. Capacity context: CGC Bulk at 150 working days.
