The Delaware Sports Cards and TCG Show is a monthly gathering at Delaware Christian Church, about 25 minutes north of downtown Columbus, and the September edition takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2026. It has become the go-to show for collectors in Delaware County, Powell, Lewis Center and the northern suburbs who want a regular, well-run hobby event without driving to the fairgrounds. Expect a comfortable church fellowship hall setting, friendly dealers, and a crowd that is heavy on families and repeat regulars.
What you will find: the show splits fairly evenly between sports cards and trading card games. On the sports side, look for baseball, football and basketball singles from vintage 1950s to current products, graded PSA, BGS and SGC slabs, rookie cards, autographs and relics, plus hockey and soccer from a few specialty dealers. On the TCG side, expect Pokémon singles, graded cards and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece and Lorcana. Several tables also carry sports memorabilia, signed photos, and supplies.
Hours: Saturday, September 26, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The compact four-hour window keeps the energy high; plan to arrive at opening for the best selection.
Admission is free. Cash is recommended for the best deals, though many vendors accept cards and mobile payment. Children are welcome and admitted free.
Venue and parking: Delaware Christian Church is at 2280 West William Street, Delaware, OH 43015, on the west side of town along US-36 and State Route 37, a short drive from US-23. The church has a large free parking lot and an accessible entrance, and restrooms are available inside. Downtown Delaware, with its restaurants and coffee shops, is just a few minutes east if you want lunch after the show.
Who should attend: north-of-Columbus collectors who want a regular monthly show, families with young collectors, Pokémon players from Delaware and Olentangy schools, and sports card collectors looking for a smaller setting where dealers have time to talk. It is a good first show for anyone who finds the big fairground shows overwhelming.
Tips: arrive by 11:00 AM for first crack at fresh inventory, bring a want list and a trade binder, and carry small bills. Because the show runs monthly, dealers often remember repeat customers and will bring requested cards to the next date, so introduce yourself. If you have cards to sell, several dealers buy collections on site.
A little history helps explain why this show works. Delaware Christian Church began hosting the show as a way to give the growing number of collectors north of I-270 a regular meeting point, and the fellowship hall setup means wide aisles, good lighting and seating along the walls for sorting through purchases. Regulars say the best finds are often in the unsorted boxes that local collectors bring when they are thinning out a collection, so budget an extra half hour to dig.
