The LA Card Show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center on June 13 and 14, 2026, and it is exactly what the name promises — the world-famous, can't-miss trading card and collectibles event of the West Coast. With more than 700 vendor booths spread across the convention floor at 1201 South Figueroa Street, this is the single largest hobby gathering within easy reach of Long Beach, just a 25-minute drive up the 710 and 110 freeways. Collectors from across Southern California, the entire West Coast, and well beyond circle this weekend on their calendars months in advance.
The vendor floor covers every corner of the hobby. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, and soccer inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and pre-war tobacco issues, junk-wax 1990s boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and high-end National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Los Angeles team inventory runs deep — Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, Kings, Angels, and the local college programs all fill dedicated cases. TCG dealers stock Pokémon singles and sealed product from vintage WOTC Base through modern Scarlet & Violet, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs alongside autographed memorabilia, game-used relics, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and sealed wax.
Beyond the buying and selling, the LA Card Show is built like a festival. Expect brand activations from the major manufacturers, special athlete and creator appearances, live in-person autograph signings, limited-edition product drops, raffles and prizes, live box breaks, music, and a full slate of food and drink vendors. It is as much an experience as a marketplace.
Hours run Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific, with VIP early-access ticket holders getting on the floor at 9:00 AM each morning for first crack at fresh inventory. General admission, VIP, and weekend-pass tiers are sold through the official site at lacardshow.com — buy online in advance, because this show draws long will-call lines. Children 8 and under enter free with a paid adult, making it a realistic family outing.
The Los Angeles Convention Center sits at 1201 South Figueroa Street in the heart of downtown, adjacent to Crypto.com Arena and L.A. Live. Parking is available in the on-site South and West Hall garages and numerous nearby lots; rideshare and the Metro E and A lines are easy car-free alternatives from the Long Beach area. L.A. Live next door offers dozens of dining options.
This show fits every collector profile — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, prospect hunters, vintage diggers, and competitive TCG players. For the best experience, buy a VIP ticket if you want first access, arrive early, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle backups, and carry a sorted want list with target prices. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case for safe transport. Follow @lacardshow on Instagram for vendor announcements, guest reveals, and drop schedules.
