The Crispy Cardboard Cards and Collectibles Show is the Monterey Peninsula's recurring hobby gathering, and the August edition lands on Saturday, August 22 at the Monterey Beach Hotel. It is an easy add-on for Central Valley collectors — roughly two and a half hours from Fresno on Highway 152 — and it pairs a genuinely good dealer floor with a coastal setting that makes the drive feel less like an errand and more like a day out.
Doors open at 10:00 AM.
Admission pricing has not been published for this edition. Crispy Cardboard shows have historically run either free entry or a low single-digit door charge, with children admitted free.
On-site parking is free and generally adequate, though the lot fills as the show peaks — arriving early solves it.
Details and future dates are posted on Treasure Hunter and on the promoter's Instagram.
