The Aurora Sports Card Show returns to the Aurora Expo Recreation Center on Saturday, April 25, 2026, delivering one of the largest single-day trading card events in the Denver metro area. With over 80 vendor tables filling the recreation center's main hall, this long-running show has built a loyal following among Colorado collectors who appreciate its friendly atmosphere, fair vendor pricing, and consistently strong inventory across every major category of the hobby.
The Aurora Sports Card Show features a comprehensive cross-section of trading cards, graded slabs, and collectibles that appeals to every type of collector. Sports card vendors stock deep inventories of MLB baseball cards from Topps, Bowman, and Panini, NBA basketball cards including Prizm, Select, Optic, and National Treasures rookies and veterans, NFL football cards from every major brand with strong Denver Broncos representation, NHL hockey cards including Colorado Avalanche team collections, UFC and boxing cards, and international soccer with strong Liga MX and European league inventory. Vintage raw cards from the 1950s through the 1990s sit alongside modern hobby and retail releases, while graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC are well represented at every price point. Pokemon collectors will find raw singles spanning every generation from base set through Scarlet and Violet, sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, Japanese imports, and high-grade graded Charizards and alternate art rares. Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z Fusion World vendors round out the trading card lineup. Funko Pops, comic books, signed memorabilia, and Colorado sports collectibles add extra variety.
The Aurora Sports Card Show runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, April 25. General admission is $5 for adults at the door, and children under 12 are admitted free with a paying adult. There are no VIP tiers or advance ticketing required — simply show up and start shopping. Because the Colorado collecting community is strong and the show consistently draws large crowds, arriving right at the 9:00 AM opening gives you the best shot at fresh inventory before the busiest midday hours.
The Aurora Expo Recreation Center is located at 10955 East Exposition Avenue in Aurora, just minutes from I-225 and easily accessible from Denver, Centennial, and the greater metro area. The facility offers a spacious, climate-controlled main hall with strong overhead lighting ideal for examining card conditions and grades. Free on-site parking is available for all attendees, and the RTD R Line light rail stops nearby for collectors taking public transportation.
This show is ideal for families looking for an affordable weekend outing, serious collectors hunting graded gems, casual fans browsing for Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, and Avalanche player cards, and experienced dealers sourcing fresh inventory from across Colorado. The Aurora collecting community is famously welcoming and inclusive.
For the best experience, arrive early when doors open, bring cash since most vendors offer cash discounts, carry a detailed want list, and bring a binder if you plan to trade with other collectors.
