Berix Bananza rolls into Columbus on Saturday, September 26, 2026, bringing one of the largest trading-card-game-only shows Central Ohio has seen this year to Stars Indoor Sports on Busch Boulevard. Organized by Berix Trading, the show fills the 75,000-square-foot indoor sports complex with roughly 170 dealer tables devoted almost entirely to TCG product, which makes it a rare treat for Pokémon and Magic players who are used to hunting for a handful of TCG vendors at sports-card-dominated shows.
What you will find: Pokémon is the headliner, with vendors carrying everything from bulk commons and modern chase cards to vintage WOTC-era holos, graded PSA and CGC slabs, and sealed booster boxes and elite trainer boxes. Beyond Pokémon, expect a strong showing of One Piece Card Game, Magic: The Gathering singles and Commander staples, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Dragon Ball Super. A smaller group of vendors will also carry sports cards and general collectibles, so if you collect across categories you will not leave empty-handed. Look for slab cases, binder singles, grading-submission drop-off tables, and vendors selling supplies like sleeves, toploaders, and binders.
Hours are 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM for general admission on Saturday. VIP early access runs from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and gets you a full hour on the floor before the general public, which is when the sharpest deals and the best binder pulls usually happen.
Admission: general admission is FREE all day. VIP early entry is $10, sold online through the Berix Trading website and at the door while capacity lasts. Children are welcome; the show is family-friendly and kids typically get in free with a paying or free adult. Bring cash for the best negotiating leverage, though most larger vendors accept cards and mobile payments.
Venue and parking: Stars Indoor Sports is at 6124 Busch Blvd, Columbus, OH 43229, just off I-71 at the Morse Road and Route 161 exits on the north side of the city. There is a large free surface lot on site, and the venue has concessions, restrooms, and plenty of room to spread out and trade. The building is climate-controlled and fully indoors, so weather will not be a factor.
Who should attend: this is the show for competitive Pokémon and Magic players looking to fill out decks before the fall tournament season, for Lorcana and One Piece collectors who rarely get dedicated floor space, for parents bringing kids to their first show, and for anyone selling or trading TCG collections. Sports-card-only collectors may find the selection narrower than at a mixed show but will still find a few sports vendors.
Tips: arrive for VIP hour if you are chasing specific cards, bring a written want list and a trade binder, sort your trade stock ahead of time so vendors can flip through quickly, and set a budget before you walk in. Grading-submission tables usually have lines by mid-afternoon, so drop off early. Check the Berix Trading Instagram for vendor previews and giveaway announcements in the days before the show.
