Front Row Card Show Portland closes its 2026 calendar at the Oregon Convention Center on Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2026 for the final hobby weekend of the year — and one of the most-anticipated holiday-window dates on the entire Pacific Northwest card-show calendar. Hosted at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard in the Lloyd District, this two-day flagship turns the Oregon Convention Center into a full-on hobby destination — 440-plus vendor tables, a dedicated Trade Night session, on-site PSA, Beckett, CBCS, CGC, and JSA grading and authentication submission booths, and free swag bags for the first 200 ticket holders each day courtesy of Pristine Auction. The show pulls collectors, players, and dealers from across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, northern California, British Columbia, and beyond. Mid-December timing drops the show right into the heart of NFL Week 14, the College Football Playoff conversation, the opening month of the 2026–2027 NBA season for the Portland Trail Blazers, and the very peak of the holiday-shopping retail window — a combination that traditionally turns the December show into one of the busiest and best-stocked dates of the entire year.
The vendor floor packs in 440-plus dealer tables across every corner of the hobby. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm Basketball, Donruss Optic Basketball, NBA Hoops, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Portland Trail Blazers, Portland Timbers, Portland Thorns FC, Oregon Ducks football and basketball, Oregon State Beavers, Hillsboro Hops, Eugene Emeralds, Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken, and Seattle Storm inventory moves consistently. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs from low-end commons to grail-level vintage and modern, alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Star Wars and Marvel artwork, action figures, Funko Pops, video games, movie posters, and hobby supplies.
