The Chandler Gilbert Card Show returns to the Knights of Columbus Hall at 644 E Chandler Blvd in Chandler on Saturday, July 25, 2026 — the East Valley's go-to free-admission card show and one of the friendliest monthly gatherings in the Greater Phoenix hobby scene. (Date is projected from the show's established roughly-monthly cadence; confirm on the organizer's Instagram before you go.) If you collect in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, or Queen Creek and want a low-key Saturday morning of digging through cards without paying to get in the door, this is the show built for you.
This is a sports-card-first show at heart. Expect vendor tables stacked with MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL singles across modern and vintage — Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, and Mosaic, plus vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer for the throwback collectors. Arizona Diamondbacks, Suns, Cardinals, and Coyotes team collectors do especially well here, and you'll regularly find dime boxes, quarter boxes, and dollar bins perfect for set builders and kids just starting out. Alongside the sports tables you'll find Pokemon and other TCG singles and sealed, graded PSA and BGS slabs, autographs, memorabilia, and supplies like penny sleeves, top loaders, and team bags.
Show hours run 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, a tight single-day window that keeps the room busy and the deals moving. Admission is FREE — one of the show's biggest draws — and that no-cost entry makes it a great low-pressure outing for families and first-time collectors who aren't ready to commit to a paid convention. Parking at the Knights of Columbus is free and easy, and the central Chandler location off Arizona Avenue keeps it close to everything in the East Valley.
The Knights of Columbus Hall is a comfortable, air-conditioned room — a real consideration for a July show in the Valley — with enough space for the vendor mix without feeling overwhelming. Because it's a recurring monthly show, dealers rotate fresh inventory each edition, so regulars know to come back month after month to see what's new.
Who should attend? This show is ideal for East Valley collectors who want a regular, no-cost place to buy, sell, and trade; set builders working through dime and quarter boxes; parents introducing kids to the hobby; and dealers looking for a steady local table. The free admission and family-friendly vibe make it one of the easiest shows in the metro to recommend to newcomers.
To get the most out of it, arrive right at the 9:00 AM open — the best raw deals and dime-box gems tend to get picked over by late morning. Bring cash in small bills for the friendliest transactions, carry a want list for the players and sets you're chasing, and bring top loaders for any singles you pull. If you're selling or trading, a well-organized binder will get you more attention from busy dealers. For the latest date confirmation and vendor news, follow @chandlergilbertcardshow on Instagram.
