About the San Diego Card Expo
The San Diego Card Expo is a new show presented by Tenth Inning that was established to serve the southern California collecting community. The inaugural show is highlighted by more than 300 vendor tables where attendees can buy, sell, and trade cards and other pop culture collectibles during the two-day event. Whether you're into collecting sports cards, Pokémon, or other pop culture items, the San Diego Card Expo has something for everyone!
Representatives will be accepting submissions, answering questions, and providing information on collectibles certification and autograph authentication services at the show. Bring your favorite collectibles to the show to take advantage of fast turnaround times and save one way on shipping fees! Further instructions on the submission process are below.
JSA on-site services for autographed memorabilia
Submit autographed memorabilia for Basic Certification (COA), and items are processed and finalized the same day. Collectors can also submit items for the JSA Letter of Authenticity (LOA). These are observed the same day, with final documented results sent later by mail. Go to SpenceLOA.com/fees for submission pricing.
