CGC has named Simplicity Esports as an official submission center where collectors can submit Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering cards to CGC. Simplicity Esports has 29 locations around the United States.

Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company owns 17 esports gaming centers and is the franchisor for 16 esports gaming centers. There, people can experience gaming at any skill level. Simplicity Esports and its PLAYlive Nation locations are in shopping malls around the country. Several of their locations are used for PLAY! Pokémon and Wizards of the Coast tournaments and prerelease events for both series.

“Simplicity Esports has the largest footprint of esports gaming centers in the country, with each location offering designated space for tournaments as well as packs for sale and single cards to buy, sell and trade,” Simplicity Esports CEO Roman Franklin said. “The added benefit of being able to submit cards to CGC, the preeminent leader in pop culture collectibles certification, directly from our locations is going to take the Simplicity Esports experience to the next level.”

“Simplicity Esports has created an incredible space for trading card enthusiasts to play, share their passion and learn from one another,” Certified Collectibles Group CEO Steven R. Eichenbaum said. “We are honored to work with them to bring our expert and impartial certification services to more collectors.”
