The Card & Collectible Show returns to Wackadoo Brewing in Colorado Springs on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and its timing could not be better for local collectors. October is one of the quieter months on the southern Colorado show calendar — the Pikes Peak Card Show skips the month between its September and November dates — which makes this relaxed brewery show the go-to card event in the Springs for the heart of fall.
If you have not been to a brewery card show before, the concept is exactly as enjoyable as it sounds. Tables of cards and collectibles fill the taproom while attendees browse with a craft beer in hand. The mix leans local: area collectors and part-time dealers selling and trading sports cards across MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL, with October bringing hot markets in football rookies, early-season basketball, and playoff baseball heroes. Trading card games hold their own here too, with Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece binders open on most tables, plus graded slabs, vintage cardboard, Funko Pops, and assorted pop-culture collectibles throughout the room.
The show runs Saturday afternoon at the brewery — the August edition of this show kicked off at 2:00 PM and ran into the early evening, and the October date is expected to follow the same afternoon format; check the listing for final hours. Admission is free with no ticket required. Wackadoo Brewing is a local Colorado Springs craft brewery with its own parking, a rotating tap list, and non-alcoholic options, and all ages are welcome in the taproom with minors accompanied by an adult.
This show is tailor-made for collectors who value the social side of the hobby. The smaller footprint means you can have real conversations with every seller in the room, which is exactly how local collecting networks get built — the person you trade commons with in October is the one who calls you first when they break a case in December. It is also a comfortable, zero-cost entry point for beginners: no admission, no pressure, and a crowd that is generally happy to explain grading, comps, and the trade etiquette of the hobby to newcomers.
How to get the most from the afternoon: lead with your trade binder, because this show runs on trades as much as cash sales. Bring small bills for dollar boxes and mid-range singles, and a short want list of teams, players, or sets you are chasing so sellers can point you to the right box quickly. Arrive near the start time for first crack at the binders, then stick around — the casual format means deals keep happening all afternoon, and some of the best ones surface late as sellers loosen up before pack-down.
