Registration Deadline extended to June 9, 2025

Origins 2025 is fast approaching and is looking to be a great celebration of the convention’s 50 years of history!

The procrastination factor is in full force and we are seeing a increased amount of item registration as the deadline looms. Fortunately we are able to extend the deadline for another week. Please plan to have all your items entered by the EOD on June 9, 2025.

Please keep in mind that you may still access your registered items to print your tags after this date but you will not be able to make any additional changes.

32 Days to Origins Game Fair 2025

We are just over a month from Origins but another reminder that the registration deadline for items you want to sell at the 2025 Origins Consignment Store is on June 2.

17 days to the item registration deadline.

There will be no onsite registration so you have just over 2 weeks and 3 weekends to get those items in the system.
