The CVC Show comes back to Lemoore on Saturday, October 3, 2026, filling the Santa Rosa Rancheria Recreation center at 16085 Jersey Avenue with the Central Valley Cards & Collectibles Show's traveling roster of vendors. Lemoore is the closest CVC stop to Bakersfield — a little over an hour north on Highway 99 and Highway 41 into Kings County — and the October date lands in the heart of the fall hobby season, with the MLB postseason under way, the NFL in full swing and the NBA about to tip off.
CVC bills its shows at 200-plus vendor tables across the network, and the Lemoore floor follows the same formula: sports cards in every category, including MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL singles, rookies, autographs and graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC; vintage and sealed wax; and a deep trading card game section led by Pokemon and One Piece with Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Lorcana in the mix. Anime collectibles, memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops and toys fill out the aisles. Free raffle giveaways run during the day, and CVC's mystery slab packs, which contain one random graded Pokemon or sports card, are a popular draw.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is 10 dollars presale through tickets.cvcshow.com, and children age 10 and under are free. CVC typically offers a Fast Pass upgrade that lets you through a separate lane about 40 minutes before general admission — worth it if you are chasing specific cards. Multi-ticket discounts are usually available for groups of four or more.
Santa Rosa Rancheria Recreation is located at 16085 Jersey Avenue, Lemoore, CA 93245, on the Tachi-Yokut Tribe's Santa Rosa Rancheria just south of town, with free on-site parking and an indoor, air-conditioned hall. Dining options are close by on Highway 41 and in downtown Lemoore, and the Tachi Palace resort is a few minutes away for anyone making a weekend of it.
The show fits nearly every collector profile. Families get affordable entry and raffles; casual collectors get a broad, friendly room; TCG players get one of the best Pokemon and One Piece trading crowds in the southern Valley; and serious sports card buyers and set builders get enough graded and vintage inventory to fill a want list. Dealers interested in a table can register through the CVC vendor page.
For the best day, buy the Fast Pass and arrive by 9:15 AM, bring cash in mixed denominations, and keep a concise want list. Traders should organize binders by set and value. Stay for the raffle drawings and make one last pass near 3:30 PM, when vendors would rather discount than reload the truck.
