PWCC Marketplace and CGC Trading Cards® have formed an operational partnership to achieve a streamlined pathway to grading and selling cards. The new grading and selling program is accessed through an online submission process on the PWCC website. Everything is managed through the PWCC vault – there’s no need to manually fill or print submission forms.
Cards sent to CGC Trading Cards through PWCC receive priority grading and encapsulation. Graded cards are returned to PWCC and immediately added to the auctioneer’s Auction Builder Curation Algorithm process, which optimizes cards for sale in upcoming PWCC Weekly Sunday Auctions.
