The October Grizzly Bird Brewing Company Card Show takes place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at the Westerville brewery, closing out a big card weekend in Central Ohio that also includes the London Mega Expo and the Southway Legion show. If you spent Saturday walking hundreds of tables and want a mellow Sunday to trade, sip a beer and catch the early NFL games on the taproom TVs, this is the spot.
What you will find: around 30 dealer tables in the taproom, mostly sports cards. Mid-October means football is hot: current-season rookies, Ohio State alumni, Browns and Bengals stars and vintage NFL. Basketball dealers bring the new-season releases, and baseball tables carry postseason favorites and graded vintage. Expect graded slabs, numbered parallels, autographs and a few wax boxes. Several tables carry Pokémon and other TCGs, and Funko Pops, wrestling cards and memorabilia are common. Because the show is small, dealers tend to bring their best binders rather than bulk.
Hours: Sunday, October 18, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM per the organizer's listing.
Admission is free. All ages are welcome during the show; alcohol service is 21 and over. Cash is recommended for smaller tables, though most vendors take mobile payment.
Venue and parking: Grizzly Bird Brewing Company is at 5901 Chandler Court, Westerville, OH 43082, off Polaris Parkway near Worthington Road, a couple of minutes from I-71 and State Route 3. Free parking is available in the brewery lot and surrounding business-park lots. The taproom serves beer and non-alcoholic drinks, and a food truck is typically on site for events.
Who should attend: adult collectors looking for a relaxed Sunday show, Westerville and north Columbus locals, football and basketball collectors chasing in-season cards, parents bringing a kid for a low-key afternoon, and traders who want a small crowd where deals happen face to face.
Tips: come at opening because 30 tables get picked over quickly, bring a trade binder, and ask dealers about their buy lists if you want to sell. The show recurs monthly, so let vendors know what you are hunting. Check the brewery's social media for the food truck schedule and any football-watch specials.
One practical note for the October date: with two large shows happening the same weekend, some Grizzly Bird regulars use Sunday to flip Saturday's pickups, so the trade tables can be unusually active. If you picked up doubles at London or Southway, bring them. The brewery's event space also has plenty of seating, so it is easy to sit down, sort a stack of purchases, and compare prices before committing. Kids are welcome, and the relaxed pace makes it a good spot to teach a young collector how to negotiate.
