The Mile High Pokemon and TCG Expo takes over the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17, 2026, delivering the most comprehensive Pokemon and trading card game event ever held in Colorado. Designed exclusively for TCG players, collectors, and fans, this two-day expo brings dedicated vendors, sanctioned tournaments, trading meetups, and special guest appearances together in one of the Rocky Mountain region's premier resort venues for an unforgettable weekend experience.
The expo floor features more than 100 vendors specializing entirely in Pokemon and other major trading card games. Pokemon card dealers bring raw singles spanning every generation from the original 1999 Wizards of the Coast base set through the latest Scarlet and Violet expansions, including hot Prismatic Evolutions chase cards and 2026 release sets. Sealed product including elite trainer boxes, booster bundles, special collection sets, and rare Japanese exclusives are stocked in abundance. Graded Pokemon cards from PSA, BGS, and CGC — from vintage Charizards and first edition base set keys to modern special illustration rares and alternate art trainers — receive prominent display at premium dealer tables. Beyond Pokemon, vendors stock Yu-Gi-Oh! singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering Commander staples and sealed draft boxes, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Flesh and Blood, and Weiss Schwarz. A dedicated tournament hall hosts Pokemon TCG side events, Magic Commander pods, Yu-Gi-Oh! locals, and One Piece organized play throughout both days, with prize support ranging from packs to premium graded cards.
The Mile High Pokemon and TCG Expo runs Saturday, May 16 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday, May 17 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. General admission is $15 per day for adults or $25 for a weekend pass.
