The 8 Biggest Card Shows Left in 2026

Most card shows fit in a hall of 40 to 100 tables. A few take over an entire convention center. We ranked every upcoming show on Card Shows Nearby by its listed table count, and these are the eight biggest still to come this year. Table counts are what each organizer lists, so treat them as a guide rather than a guarantee.

1. USA Card Show — Pomona, CA (Oct 2–4)

The biggest listing we have: about 1,000 tables in Hall 4, open 11am to 5pm all three days. Early admission is $25 and general admission is $10.

2. Front Row Card Show — Las Vegas, Pasadena, and Glendale

Front Row is a touring show with three big stops left: Las Vegas on Oct 24–25 (770 tables), Pasadena on Nov 21–22 (770 tables), and Glendale, AZ on Dec 12–13 at State Farm Stadium (800 tables). Each runs 11am to 5pm both days, admission is $10, and kids 10 and under get in free. Beckett, CGC, and JSA are listed at Las Vegas and Glendale, with CGC and JSA at Pasadena.

3. Dallas Card Show — Allen, TX (Nov 5–8)

More than 700 tables across four days: Thursday 6–9pm, Friday 2–8pm, Saturday 9:30am–6pm, and Sunday 9:30am–4pm. Tickets run from $15 to $35 depending on the day.

About 700 tables at the York Expo Center over Halloween weekend, 10am to 4pm both days, with $10 admission. As the name says, it mixes sports cards, trading card games, and non-sports cards, so it works for collectors with more than one interest.

6. The Collector's Showcase — Concord, NC (Oct 9–11)

600 tables at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center: Friday 3–8pm, Saturday 10am–6pm, and Sunday 10am–3pm, with $12 admission.

Just missed the cut

Space City Sports Cards & Collectibles Expo in Rosenberg, TX (Oct 3–4, 410 tables, free), the TCG Jamboree in Westminster, MD (Oct 10, 400 tables, $10), the Virginia Beach Sports Card, Pokémon, Comic Book & Collectibles Expo (Oct 24–25, 400 tables, free), and the New England Card Show in Burlington, VT (Nov 28–29, 400 tables).

Working a big floor

Walk the whole floor once before you buy anything, since the same card can be priced very differently three aisles apart. Wear comfortable shoes, bring cash in smaller bills, and pick a meeting spot in case you and a friend get separated. On multi-day shows, the first day usually has the best selection and the last day is often when dealers are readier to make a deal.

Hours, prices, and table counts can change, so check the show page for the latest before you make the drive.
