The Front Row Card Show brings its acclaimed Seattle/Tacoma stop back to the Greater Tacoma Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, July 11–12, 2026 — one of the largest two-day trading card and collectibles events on the entire Pacific Northwest calendar. Front Row Card Show is known nationally for huge vendor floors, deep inventory, and a polished, family-friendly atmosphere, and the Tacoma edition routinely packs the convention center with hundreds of dealer tables. Located in downtown Tacoma roughly thirty-five minutes south of Seattle, the show draws collectors from Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Olympia, Auburn, Federal Way, Puyallup, and across King and Pierce counties.
The vendor floor spans around 480 tables of cards, comics, and collectibles. Sports card dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, soccer, and racing inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Goudey from the 1950s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s staples, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Seattle Mariners, Seahawks, Kraken, Sounders, Storm, Washington Huskies, Washington State Cougars, and Gonzaga product is reliably deep. TCG tables run heavy on Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, plus Magic: The Gathering, 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, with additional tables for autographed memorabilia, comic books, Star Wars collectibles, action figures, Funko Pops, toys, and video games.
Show hours run 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM PDT each day. General admission is sold at the door and online through the Front Row ticketing pages, with VIP early-entry tickets giving collectors a head start before the public hour on Saturday. Kids enter free with a paying adult. Front Row shows frequently feature on-site grading submission drop-off, breakers, and special vendor promotions throughout the weekend.
The Greater Tacoma Convention Center is located at 1500 Commerce Street, Tacoma, WA 98402, directly off I-705 in downtown Tacoma and a short walk from the Tacoma Link light rail. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out on spacious convention floors with wide aisles. Paid parking is available in the attached garage and nearby downtown lots, and downtown Tacoma restaurants and the Museum District sit within walking distance.
This show fits every Pacific Northwest collector type. Serious buyers use VIP early-entry Saturday morning to cherry-pick vintage and high-end modern before the crowds. Flippers and breakers restock binders, swap case-break hits, and live-stream from the floor. Families love the free child admission and the comics-plus-toys variety. Competitive Pokémon, Magic, One Piece, and Lorcana players scout singles for upcoming Regional Championships across the region.
For the best experience, buy VIP early-entry, arrive right at the 11:00 AM Saturday door, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle backups, and carry a detailed want list sorted by category. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a sturdy carrying box, and plan a real lunch break. Follow @frontrowcardshow on Instagram for floor plans, vendor lists, and ticket links.
