The CVC Show — Central Valley Cards and Collectibles — rolls into Lemoore on Saturday, July 25, 2026, bringing one of the region's most reliable traveling card show operations to the Santa Rosa Rancheria Recreation center at 16085 Jersey Ave. For Bakersfield collectors, Lemoore is a manageable drive north up Highway 99 and State Route 43, and CVC's one-show, one-venue format packs a lot of hobby into a single afternoon. CVC runs shows across the Central Valley, including a Bakersfield stop at the Kern County Fairgrounds earlier this year, and the operation has built a loyal following on the strength of its vendor quality and community feel.
The tables cover the full modern hobby spread: sports cards spanning MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL, plus trading card games including Pokemon and One Piece, anime cards, memorabilia, Funko Pops, comics, and more. Expect graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and CGC alongside raw vintage, modern rookies, and bargain boxes. CVC shows also feature special guest signers, free raffle giveaways throughout the day, and the promoter's popular mystery slab packs — $49.99 packs containing one random graded Pokemon or sports slab with a stated floor around $20 and ceiling of $100 or more, mostly PSA and BGS graded cards including rookies and case hits.
Show hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. General admission is $10 presale with entry at 10:00 AM, while a $15 Fast Pass gets you early entrance at 9:20 AM through a separate fast lane — worth every penny if you are hunting specific cards, because the forty-minute head start is when the sharpest deals get made. Tickets are sold online at tickets.cvcshow.com, and multi-ticket discounts of 20 percent kick in when buying four or more, which makes this an easy group or family outing. Kids' pricing and door availability are posted on the ticketing page.
The Santa Rosa Rancheria Recreation center offers free on-site parking and a comfortable indoor, air-conditioned space — a real consideration for a Central Valley afternoon in late July. Lemoore sits just west of Hanford, and there are plenty of food options along Highway 41 and Lemoore's downtown strip for lunch before or after the show.
This show suits nearly everyone in the hobby: families will appreciate the raffles and affordable entry, casual collectors get a broad vendor mix, and serious dealers and set builders will find enough graded and vintage inventory to justify the trip. TCG players should bring trade binders, since CVC crowds skew heavily toward Pokemon and One Piece trading.
To maximize the day, buy the Fast Pass and arrive by 9:15 AM, bring cash in mixed denominations, and carry a concise want list. If you are trading, organize your binder by set and value so vendors can evaluate quickly. Stick around for the raffle drawings, and check the CVC Show Instagram at @cvc_show for the guest signer lineup and any show-day announcements. Full event details and tickets are at cvcshow.com.
