The Aloha Card Show is Oahu's anchor annual card convention and the marquee event on Hawaii's hobby calendar. Organized by Aloha Card Shop, the flagship edition returns to the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu each September with one of the largest vendor counts of any single card-focused show in the state. The 2026 flagship is expected the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20 — the 2025 edition packed the Exhibition Hall with 100-plus tables over Sep 20 and 21, 10 AM to 6 PM each day — so confirm the official 2026 dates and hours at alohacardshow.com before you plan around it.
The floor is massive and covers the full hobby. Sports card dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax, and a deep wall of modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, with prospect-rich Bowman Chrome for the rookie hunters. On the trading card side, expect Pokemon singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z, plus row after row of locked cases holding graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs. You will also find autographed memorabilia, sealed wax, comics, Funko Pops, local makers and food vendors, and every supply you could need.
This is a two-day weekend convention, with the 2025 edition running 10 AM to 6 PM both Saturday and Sunday — expect a similar window for 2026, and confirm on the official site. The big-hall format and two-day run give you plenty of time to work the entire floor, compare inventory across a large dealer base, hit any guest activations, and circle back to negotiate on the pieces you want most.
Admission, any early-buyer or VIP option, and keiki pricing are posted by Aloha Card Shop as the date approaches; the show is family-friendly, and large Oahu conventions commonly offer affordable general admission with children admitted free or at a reduced rate. Bring cash for the smoothest dealing, since many dealers price best for cash, with Venmo and Zelle widely accepted as backups.
The Neal S. Blaisdell Center is located at 777 Ward Avenue in Honolulu, centrally positioned near Ala Moana and downtown with on-site paid parking and easy access from the H-1. Its large, climate-controlled Exhibition Hall is the premier event venue in the islands, and the central location puts abundant dining and shopping within a short drive.
Who should attend? This show fits everyone — serious dealers and collectors chasing rare singles and sealed product, sports fans hunting autographs and memorabilia, Pokemon and TCG players and collectors, set builders, vintage diggers, modern flippers, families introducing keiki to the hobby, and first-timers who want to experience Hawaii's biggest card show at full scale. With 100-plus tables, there is something for every collector.
To get the most out of it, arrive near the open each day for first crack at fresh inventory and the best deals before the popular tables thin out. Make a full loop before buying so you can compare prices, carry a sorted want list with target prices, bring cash, and pack a slab case and sleeves to protect pickups.
