Front Row Card Show returns to the Oregon Convention Center on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, 2026 for the biggest fall hobby weekend in the Pacific Northwest. Hosted at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard in Portland's Lloyd District, this two-day flagship turns the convention hall into a complete hobby destination — hundreds of vendor tables, a dedicated Trade Night session, on-site PSA, Beckett, CGC, and JSA grading and authentication submission booths, and free swag bags for the first 200 ticket holders each day. The show draws collectors, players, and dealers from across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, northern California, and British Columbia. Early-October timing lands the show squarely in the heart of the MLB postseason, the opening weeks of the NFL and NHL seasons, the start of NBA training camp for the Portland Trail Blazers, and peak football-card release season — a combination that traditionally makes the autumn Portland show one of the most heavily attended dates of the year.
The vendor floor packs in 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, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, Immaculate, and Topps Dynasty. Portland Trail Blazers, Portland Timbers, Portland Thorns FC, Oregon Ducks, Oregon State Beavers, Hillsboro Hops, Eugene Emeralds, Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken, and Seattle Storm inventory moves consistently — a Pacific-Northwest signature. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base, Jungle, and Fossil 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 commons to grail-level vintage, alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, video games, and hobby supplies.
Saturday, October 3 runs 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM PDT with VIP early-entry at 10:00 AM, followed by Trade Night from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM PDT (separate ticket required). Sunday, October 4 runs 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM PDT with VIP early-entry at 10:00 AM. General admission tickets are sold in advance through ShowClix and at the door, and kids 12 and under are admitted free with a paying adult.
The Oregon Convention Center sits at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, Portland, OR 97232, directly on the MAX Light Rail Red, Blue, and Green lines with quick access from Interstate 5, Interstate 84, and Interstate 405. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out with very wide aisles. Paid parking is available in the on-site garages and at nearby Lloyd District lots.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, breakers, prospect hunters, vintage buyers, and competitive tournament players. For the best experience, buy the VIP early-entry pass online in advance, arrive at 10:00 AM sharp, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case. Follow @frontrowcardshow on Instagram for vendor previews and floor plans.
