The LA Card Show brings the hobby to one of the most iconic venues in sports on Saturday, September 12, 2026 — a special edition staged at Dodger Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. After its record-breaking two-day takeover of the Los Angeles Convention Center in June, the LA Card Show's follow-up move is pure Los Angeles: trading cards, memorabilia, and creator culture set against the backdrop of Chavez Ravine. For collectors, the pitch writes itself — buy, sell, and trade cards at the ballpark where so many of the cards on the tables were made famous.
Expect the signature LA Card Show mix scaled to a stadium setting. Sports cards lead, and baseball especially — Dodgers legends, Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, vintage Topps from the Koufax and Fernando eras through today's stars — alongside NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory in Prizm, Optic, Select, and Mosaic. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs fill the premium cases. The TCG side that made the June show a crossover hit travels here too: Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Disney Lorcana. Past LA Card Show editions have added athlete appearances, autograph guests, live entertainment, and team activations, and the Dodger Stadium setting makes memorabilia and photo moments a bigger part of the day than any hotel ballroom could.
Plan for main hours of roughly 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with early VIP entry expected around 9:00 AM, consistent with the organizer's other editions — confirm exact times when tickets go live. Admission is ticketed through lacardshow.com, typically with general admission and VIP tiers; VIP historically includes early entry and perks, and stadium editions tend to sell out, so buy early. Check the ticket page for children's pricing.
Dodger Stadium sits at 1000 Vin Scully Avenue in Elysian Park, minutes from Downtown LA off the 110. On-site stadium parking is expected — buying parking in advance through the event page is the safe play — and rideshare drops are well established at the ballpark.
Who should attend? Dodgers fans and baseball collectors most obviously, but the LA Card Show's audience is the broadest in the region: serious slab investors, TCG players, families, content creators, and first-timers who want the biggest possible version of the hobby. If you attend one marquee card event in LA this fall, this is the one.
To make the most of it, arrive at open or spring for VIP if you are chasing anything specific — the best inventory at marquee shows moves in the first hour. Bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle, a want list with target prices, a slab case, and comfortable shoes; stadium concourses mean real walking.
