The Clearwater Bay Area Card Show is back at Banquet Masters on Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13, 2026, for another edition of Pinellas County's go-to weekend card show. If you missed the May date, this is your next chance to dig through tables of fresh inventory with dealers from all over Florida. The Bay Area Card Show has earned a loyal local following for its honest pricing, friendly dealers, and approachable, no-pressure atmosphere — exactly what a community card show should be.
The roughly 90-table floor covers the full breadth of the hobby. Sports card dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, with deep Bowman Chrome prospect inventory for the rookie hunters. Rays, Buccaneers, and Lightning collectors will find local-team cards 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 display graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs, and you will also find non-sport cards, comics, autographed memorabilia, sealed wax, and supplies like sleeves, top loaders, and binders.
The show spans two days for flexibility. Friday hours are 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM — a quieter window that serious buyers love for first access to fresh inventory — while Saturday runs 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for the bigger weekend crowd. Admission is free both days, so it is an easy, budget-friendly outing whether you are a dedicated dealer or 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 is a short drive from 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 welcoming, community feel make it especially approachable for first-timers, while the consistent depth of inventory keeps experienced collectors returning 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.

The Clearwater Bay Area Card Show runs on a recurring schedule throughout 2026, with additional summer dates in July and August, so there is almost always another show just a few weeks out.
