The CVC Show — short for Central Valley Cards & Collectibles — brings its fall Fresno edition to the Fresno Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 24, 2026, delivering one of the hottest cards and collectibles shows in the Central Valley. CVC is a traveling show that rotates through Fresno, Clovis, Modesto, Turlock, and Lemoore, building a community of Valley collectors around a family-oriented, buy-sell-trade atmosphere. The Fresno fall edition is a highlight of that circuit: 100-plus vendor tables, guest signers, free raffle giveaways, and a floor that runs the full spread of the hobby, from sports cards and memorabilia to Pokémon, anime, comics, toys, sneakers, and Funko Pops.
The vendor floor is deliberately broad. Sports tables cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer, from vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer through 1990s wax and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome. Late-October timing puts the NFL season in full swing, the NBA and NHL seasons just underway, and the MLB World Series capping the baseball year, so fresh rookies, inserts, and graded stars move fast. San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Golden State Warriors, and Fresno State Bulldogs inventory draws the local crowd alongside national superstars. TCG tables stock Pokémon from vintage WOTC Base through current Scarlet & Violet sets and Japanese imports, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z. Locked cases hold PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs beside autographed memorabilia, comics, anime collectibles, sneakers, toys, and Funko Pops. Guest signers and raffle giveaways add to the draw, and the show's family-friendly setup makes it a genuine day out rather than just a marketplace.
Doors typically open mid-morning and run through the afternoon; CVC single-day shows generally run about 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but confirm the exact October 24 hours on cvcshow.com or the show's Instagram before you head out. General admission is affordable and kids get in free (CVC has historically admitted children 10 and under at no charge), making this an easy family outing. Tickets are available online in advance, and the show recommends registering early because they can sell out.
The Fresno Fairgrounds sits at 1121 South Chance Avenue in Fresno, with ample parking and easy access from Highway 99 and Butler Avenue. The fairgrounds halls are spacious and climate-controlled, with room to browse comfortably even at peak attendance.
This show fits everyone — first-timers, families, casual collectors, modern flippers, breakers, vintage hunters, and cross-category collectors chasing sneakers, comics, or anime alongside cards. For the best experience, arrive near opening to reach fresh tables and guest-signer lines early, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case for singles and graded pickups, and bring anything you want signed by the day's guests.
