The Newark Pavilion Collectible Show returns on Sunday, September 27, 2026, bringing a full one-day collectibles floor to the southern East Bay. Newark sits between Fremont and the Dumbarton Bridge, which puts this show within a short drive of Fremont, Union City, Hayward, Milpitas, and — via the bridge — Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and the mid-Peninsula. That geography is the show's quiet advantage: it draws from both sides of the bay without asking anyone to sit in bridge traffic for an hour.
The floor is genuinely a collectibles show rather than a cards-only event, which changes what you find. Sports card dealers carry MLB as the regular season closes, NFL in week four, NBA heading toward tip-off, plus NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer, with inventory running from 1950s and 1960s Topps and Bowman vintage through 1970s and 1980s set-builder runs, junk-wax dollar boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft. San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, San Francisco 49ers, Golden State Warriors, and San Jose Sharks material leads local demand. Trading card game tables cover Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage through Scarlet and Violet, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Super, and Digimon. Beyond cards, expect vintage toys, action figures, Funko Pops, comics, retro video games and consoles, records, autographed memorabilia, signed baseballs and jerseys, and hobby supplies. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs.
The show runs Sunday only, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific — a single six-hour session with no VIP tier or timed entry. Admission price was not published at the time of listing, so treat it as VERIFY and confirm with the promoter; Newark Pavilion shows historically charge a low walk-up door rate with accompanied children admitted free.
The Newark Pavilion is at 6430 Thornton Avenue in Newark, a large, open, climate-controlled hall with high ceilings and wide aisles. Free on-site parking is extensive — the lot rarely fills even on busy show days. The venue is ADA-accessible and single-level, which makes it easy to navigate with a rolling case or a stroller. Highway 84 and the Dumbarton Bridge approach are minutes away, with Interstate 880 a short drive east. Newark and neighbouring Fremont offer a deep and varied restaurant scene within five minutes.
This show suits collectors who like variety beyond cards, families browsing toys and games alongside sports and Pokémon, set builders, bargain hunters working dollar boxes, and dealers buying raw collections from walk-in sellers.
For the best experience, arrive at 10:00 AM — a six-hour show means the strongest material moves early, particularly the non-card collectibles that draw a different crowd than a pure card show. Bring cash in mixed denominations, a want list covering both cards and any toys, games, or memorabilia you collect, sleeves and top loaders for raw pickups, and a sturdy bag or box. Walk the entire hall once before buying; the variety of vendor types here means comparable items are often priced very differently table to table.
