The Folsom, El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park Sports Cards & Pokemon TCG Super Show is the Highway 50 corridor's own card show, and the Saturday, August 29 edition brings it back to the Cameron Park Community Center. The name is a mouthful because it is a promise: this event was built to serve three foothill communities that between them have plenty of collectors and almost no dedicated show, and it splits its floor evenly between the sports card side and the Pokemon side rather than making one an afterthought.
On the sports half, dealers stock baseball, basketball and football across every era — vintage Topps and Bowman in the cases, junk-wax team sets priced for kids and set builders, star rookies from the 1980s and 1990s, and current-year sealed product from Panini and Topps. Hockey, soccer, boxing and UFC each get genuine representation. Graded material from PSA, BGS and SGC is well stocked, and there is usually a grading submission table for collectors who want to send raw cards out without dealing with the paperwork themselves. On the Pokemon half, expect sealed English boosters and elite trainer boxes, Japanese product, slabbed vintage holos and singles binders spanning Base Set to the current rotation. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece round out the TCG tables, and there are usually vendors carrying comics, Funko Pops, autographed memorabilia and hobby supplies.
Hours are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 29 — a single day, no early-access tier. The 9:00 AM open is early by regional standards and it matters: this show has a loyal core of foothill dealers who trade with each other before the public wave arrives, and the first hour is when the freshest inventory hits the tables. Traffic peaks between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The final ninety minutes are the negotiating window.
Admission has historically been low or free at this series, with children admitted free alongside an adult, but no price is published for this edition. Bring cash for the door.
The Cameron Park Community Center is at 2502 Country Club Drive in Cameron Park, just off Highway 50 about thirty miles east of downtown Sacramento and ten minutes past El Dorado Hills. Parking is free, on-site and abundant. The hall is indoors and air-conditioned, which is not a small thing on a late-August Saturday in the foothills, and the community center's layout gives the aisles more breathing room than a hotel ballroom show.
Who should come? This is a genuinely good family show — the sports and Pokemon split means a parent and a kid can both have a real reason to be there. It also suits mid-level collectors who want to talk to dealers at length, and Sacramento-side collectors who want inventory that has not already been picked over by the city crowd.
Tips: bring cash and small bills. Bring a want list. Hit the sports cases first if you are chasing vintage, since foothill shows quietly surface good raw material that never makes it to a big-city floor. Ask dealers what they are hunting — this crowd trades as readily as it sells. And bring top loaders and a small box; you will not want to carry purchases loose on the drive back down the hill.
Future dates in the series are posted on the Trading Card Database show listing.
