The Coddingtown Card Show returns with its Halloween Special on Saturday, October 17, 2026, taking over event space inside Coddingtown Mall in Santa Rosa for a long eight-hour day. Themed shows are a genuinely good idea and this one leans into it — expect costumes, seasonal giveaways, and a floor mix that skews a little more toward horror comics, spooky-season Funko Pops, and Halloween-themed TCG promos than a standard October date would. For Sonoma County collectors it is the highlight of the fall calendar.
The vendor floor covers the full hobby with a seasonal accent. Sports dealers stock MLB during the postseason, NFL six weeks into the schedule, NBA in its opening weeks, plus NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer, with product from 1950s and 1960s Topps and Bowman vintage through 1970s and 1980s set-builder runs, junk-wax dollar boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Contenders, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and Stadium Club. San Francisco Giants, San Francisco 49ers, Golden State Warriors, San Jose Sharks, and Oakland Athletics inventory leads local demand. Trading card game tables carry Pokémon raw singles, graded cards, and sealed product across vintage WOTC through Scarlet and Violet plus Japanese exclusives, along with Magic: The Gathering — where Halloween-adjacent horror sets are perennially popular — Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Super, and Digimon. Additional tables hold vintage and modern horror comics, Funko Pops, action figures, retro video games, autographed memorabilia, and hobby supplies. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs.
Hours run Saturday only, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific — an eight-hour window, which is unusually long for a single-day show and reflects the mall setting. There is no VIP tier or timed entry. Admission is typically free or a nominal walk-up charge given the mall location, with children welcome; confirm with the promoter before travelling, and note that costumes are encouraged for the Halloween edition.
Coddingtown Mall is at 733 Coddingtown Center in Santa Rosa, just off Highway 101 at the Steele Lane exit. Parking is free and abundant in the mall's surface lots — no garage fees and no meters. The show space is fully indoors, climate-controlled, and ADA-accessible, and the mall's food court and surrounding restaurants mean lunch is a two-minute walk rather than a drive. The mall setting also draws genuine walk-up foot traffic, which makes this a good show for sellers hoping to reach beyond the regular collector crowd.
This edition is a natural fit for families — the Halloween theme, the mall location, and the long hours make it an easy outing with kids. It also suits Sonoma County collectors who rarely get a local show, comic and pop-culture collectors, TCG players, set builders, and dealers looking to buy from walk-in sellers.
For the best experience, come in costume if you are so inclined, arrive mid-morning before the mall crowd builds, and bring cash for the small-dollar tables. Carry a want list, sleeves and top loaders, and a bag for your finds. Because the day runs to 6:00 PM, a late-afternoon return sweep often turns up repriced material.
