The Clearwater Bay Area Card Show returns to Banquet Masters on Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30, 2026, bringing one of Pinellas County's most dependable weekend card shows to the heart of the Tampa Bay area. With dealers from all over Florida and around 90 tables, this is a well-stocked, no-frills collector's show built for digging, dealing, and discovering — exactly the kind of grassroots event that keeps the local hobby thriving.
The vendor floor covers the full breadth of the hobby. Sports card dealers bring deep inventory across MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax-era boxes, and a wall of modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, with prospect-rich Bowman Chrome for the rookie hunters. Rays, Buccaneers, and Lightning collectors will find local-team inventory mixed throughout. On the trading card side, expect Pokemon singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana. Locked cases hold graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs, and you will also find non-sport cards, comics, autographed memorabilia, sealed wax, and hobby supplies like sleeves, top loaders, and binders.
The show runs across two days for maximum flexibility. Friday hours are 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM — a great window for serious buyers who want first access to fresh inventory in a quieter room — while Saturday runs 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for the bigger weekend crowd. Admission is completely free both days, making this an easy, budget-friendly outing whether you are a dedicated dealer or just browsing with the family.
Banquet Masters is located at 13355 49th Street N, Clearwater, FL 33572, with free on-site parking and an easy, climate-controlled layout. The central Pinellas location puts it within a short drive of Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg, and the Tampa side of the bay, with plenty of nearby restaurants for a lunch break before or after the show.
Who should attend? This show fits everyone — families introducing kids to the hobby, casual collectors browsing for fun, set builders chasing specific cards, vintage diggers, modern flippers, prospect hunters, and Pokemon and TCG fans. The free admission and approachable, community feel make it especially welcoming for first-timers, while the consistent depth of inventory keeps seasoned collectors coming back month after month.
To get the most out of your visit, consider coming Friday afternoon for the first pick of fresh inventory and the best deals before tables thin out, or Saturday for the fuller weekend energy. Bring cash for the smoothest transactions, with Venmo or Zelle as a backup since many dealers accept digital payment. Carry a sorted want list with target prices so you can move quickly across 90 tables, and pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case to protect your pickups. A trade binder is handy if you like to deal.
