The Las Vegas Card Show returns to the Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel on Saturday and Sunday, October 3–4, 2026 for the final premier weekend of 2026 at one of the most collector-friendly venues in the country. October is widely considered the sweet spot of the Vegas hobby calendar — temperatures finally drop into the 80s, the NFL season is in full swing, the NBA tips off, and MLB postseason hobby anticipation is at peak. The Ahern is just steps from the Strip and packs 200 vendor tables of cards, comics, memorabilia, and TCGs into a single well-lit ballroom designed for serious buying and selling. The October stop typically draws the highest dealer concentration of any Vegas card show outside of Labor Day weekend.
The vendor floor is balanced across the full hobby. Sports dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Early-October timing puts the show in the middle of NFL Weeks 4–5 and the heart of MLB postseason — current-year Panini NFL rookie cards, NBA Hoops, and 2026 Topps Update Baseball move quickly, and dealers stock heavy on Las Vegas Raiders, Vegas Golden Knights, Aces, Aviators, and Athletics inventory. Los Angeles Dodgers, Lakers, Rams, and Kings product moves all weekend, and the UFC, Canelo Álvarez, Floyd Mayweather, and combat-sports memorabilia presence is unmatched anywhere else in North America. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard, 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.
Saturday hours typically run 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM PDT and Sunday hours run 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM PDT, with VIP early-entry available for advance ticket holders starting one hour before the public open each day. General admission and weekend passes are sold online at lasvegascardshow.com and at the door, kids 12 and under enter free with a paying adult, and door prizes, pack giveaways, athlete or content-creator meet-and-greets, and on-site grading drop-off with select graders are typically announced via @lasvegascardshow on Instagram and Facebook in the weeks before the show.
The Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel is located at 300 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89102, less than one mile from the Strip and walking distance from SAHARA, Stratosphere, and the Las Vegas Convention Center. The venue is climate-controlled, offers free on-site parking, on-site food and bar service, and discounted hobby-rate hotel rooms with promo codes published on the show's site. The single-ballroom layout with wide aisles makes the floor easy to work top-to-bottom in a single morning.
This show fits every collector type — serious vintage buyers, modern flippers, breakers, families, casual fans, and out-of-state travelers planning a fall Vegas hobby weekend. For the best experience, buy weekend VIP early-entry online ahead of time, arrive at door open Saturday for first dibs on fresh inventory, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a detailed want list. Save the last hour Sunday for negotiation.
