The Frank & Son Collectible Show is Southern California's longest-running collectibles institution, and the Saturday, July 18, 2026 edition offers Long Beach collectors the region's deepest single-roof dig — a permanent, warehouse-scale show floor at 17835 Gale Avenue in City of Industry that has anchored the SoCal hobby for more than two decades. It is about thirty minutes up the 605 from Long Beach, and regulars will tell you it is worth every mile: hundreds of vendors, free admission, free parking, and an inventory range no weekend pop-up show can match.
The floor is an ecosystem. Sports card vendors run deep on MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax, and walls of modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Chrome prospects, with locked cases of graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs at the high-end tables. TCG dealers stock Pokemon from vintage WOTC through the latest sets, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z. Then the show keeps going where card shows usually stop: Marvel and DC comics, hand-painted statues, sports and movie memorabilia, autographs, vintage toys, anime figures, Funko Pops, and a full supply ecosystem of sleeves, top loaders, binders, and display cases.
Saturday hours run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM — the longest single-day window of any show in this listing — and the show also runs every Wednesday evening if Saturday does not fit your week. Admission is free and parking in the surrounding lot is free, a combination that has kept Frank & Son the default answer to 'where should I go first?' for new SoCal collectors.
The venue sits just off the 60 freeway in an industrial complex, with straightforward access from the 605, 57, and 10. The building is enormous and fully indoor — air-conditioned relief in mid-July — with food available on site and room to take a break between laps. Wear comfortable shoes and budget more time than you think you need; first-timers are always surprised by the scale.
Everyone fits here. Families can make a free day of it with kids bouncing between Pokemon tables and toy aisles, first-timers can learn the hobby at their own pace with zero admission risk, set builders and vintage diggers get unmatched volume, and serious slab hunters and dealers treat Frank & Son as a standing inventory source. Cross-collectors — cards plus comics plus figures — get more per trip here than anywhere else in the region.
Tips for the best run: arrive near the 9:00 AM open for first crack at fresh stock, walk a full loop before buying to compare prices across the room, and carry a sorted want list. Bring cash for the fastest and friendliest deals, with Venmo and Zelle widely accepted as backup, plus sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case for protection.
