The Grizzly Bird Brewing Company Card Show is a Sunday afternoon sports card and collectibles show held inside a Westerville craft brewery, and the September date is Sunday, September 27, 2026. Organized by Austin Robertson, this show has carved out a niche as the most relaxed card show in the Columbus area: roughly 30 dealer tables set up in the taproom, a pint in hand for the adults, and a laid-back trading atmosphere that makes it easy to spend a couple of hours browsing.
What you will find: the tables are mostly sports cards, with baseball, football and basketball leading the way. Expect modern hobby singles, rookies and parallels, graded slabs, a handful of vintage dealers, and wax packs for anyone who wants to rip on site. Because of the venue's crowd, there is usually a good selection of Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Browns and Guardians, Cincinnati Bengals and Reds, and Columbus Blue Jackets cards. Several tables carry Pokémon and other TCGs, and you will often find Funko Pops, wrestling cards and sports memorabilia as well.
Hours: Sunday, September 27, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Some aggregator listings show an earlier 9:00 AM start; the organizer's listed hours are 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, so plan around those.
Admission is free. The brewery is open to all ages during the show, so families are welcome, though the taproom is a 21-and-over environment for alcohol service. Bring cash for the smaller tables; most dealers take mobile payment.
Venue and parking: Grizzly Bird Brewing Company is at 5901 Chandler Court, Westerville, OH 43082, in the Westar-area business park off Polaris Parkway and Worthington Road, a couple of minutes from I-71 and State Route 3. Free parking is available in the brewery lot and adjacent lots. The brewery serves beer, non-alcoholic drinks and typically has a food truck on site during events.
Who should attend: adult collectors who want a relaxed Sunday outing, north-side Columbus and Westerville locals, sports fans looking for team-specific cards, and anyone who wants to combine a show with lunch and a craft beer. It is also a fine spot for a parent-and-kid afternoon, since the show is free and easy to navigate.
Tips: arrive at opening for the best selection since 30 tables move quickly, bring a trade binder, and ask dealers what they are buying because several purchase collections on the spot. The show recurs monthly, so if you are hunting for something specific, let a dealer know and they will often bring it next time. Check the taproom's social media for food truck announcements.
One more note on the atmosphere: because the show shares the room with the taproom's regular Sunday crowd, it feels more like a hobby meetup than a formal show, and plenty of attendees end up trading at the bar tables long after they have finished browsing.
