| CBCS President Steve Borock announced today the first-ever CBCS Grading Expo to be held at its headquarters in Dallas on January 19-21, 2020. The expo will be headlined by acclaimed comic book author Donny Cates, of Marvel fame, and noted comic book illustrator Sam de la Rosa. Participants will be treated to Q&A sessions and private autograph signings along with seminars, social events, a trade night and other activities during the expo. Additional guest presenters include Buddy Saunders, owner of mycomicshop.com (The world’s largest volume seller of comics) and I Like Comics owner Chris Simons. Mr. Borock will host and lead the discussions for attendees. The CBCS grading team will be available to attendees for one-on-one meetings throughout the event. As part of each fully paid admission, attendees will receive 25 comic book gradings, hotel accommodations, a gift bag of valuable items and a buy/sell/trade event. The expo kickoffs off Sunday night with a steak dinner followed by events including poker & movie night, a catered Texas BBQ, a Mexican food lunch buffet, with breakfast provided each morning.

| @sborock These may be dumb questions... Why wasn't the cost associate with the event provided in either the email or the posting here? Has the cost not been finalized? What is the cost associated with attending? |

| I just have a quick question. 25 free submissions are they for just modern books or all eras ? If they are for modern what is the year date like 1977 to the present ? Can books be dropped off while there to be graded from Golden and silver age ? And I assume books will be graded and sent out weeks after the expo ? |
