The Collectors Corner Card Show rolls into fall with a September edition at the Four Points by Sheraton San Diego, with Sunday, September 20, 2026 seeded here as the representative date in the show's mid-month Sunday rotation. With football season underway and new product hitting the market, September is a great month to work a local card show — and Collectors Corner remains one of the friendliest, most consistent rooms in San Diego County to do exactly that. Confirm the exact September date on the organizer's page before you head out.
The vendor mix spans the entire hobby. Sports collectors will find MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer cards across every era — modern Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome prospects, Panini Prizm, Select, Mosaic, and Donruss Optic alongside vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer. Fall timing means fresh football and basketball product, late-season baseball rookies, and the kind of hot-player movement that makes for fun deal-making. Trading card game players are well served too, with Pokemon singles and sealed product across the Scarlet & Violet era, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z. Add graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs, sealed wax, autographs and memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, and a full spread of supplies, and there is something to dig through for every kind of collector.
The show runs Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, a single, easy-to-plan window. Admission is affordable and family-friendly, with kids welcome alongside a parent or guardian; check collectorscornercardshow.com for the current door price and any early-buyer option. The Four Points by Sheraton at 8110 Aero Drive in Kearny Mesa offers free on-site parking and a cool, air-conditioned ballroom, and its location off Interstate 15 near the 163 and 805 keeps it central and easy to reach from across the county.
Who should attend? This is a classic local Sunday show — perfect for casual collectors, set builders, families, and serious buyers who prefer a calm, conversational room to a giant convention floor. Because it runs every month with a loyal vendor base, it is among the best places in San Diego to build standing relationships with dealers who will watch for your want-list cards between events. Fall shows tend to draw collectors fired up by the new football and basketball releases, so the sports tables can be especially active.
To get the most out of the day, arrive near the 10:00 AM open if you are chasing something specific — the freshest inventory and best vintage move early, and the sharpest deals often happen in that first hour. Bring cash for fast, friendly transactions, with Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a sorted want list with target prices so you can act quickly. Pack a slab case and a few extra top loaders for your pickups, and bring a trade binder if you like to deal.
