The Pikes Peak Card Show returns to the Norris Penrose Event Center on Saturday, August 8, 2026, and it remains the show that every collector in Colorado Springs circles on the calendar. Billed as southern Colorado's longest-running card and collectibles show, this event consistently draws one of the biggest dealer turnouts in the region, with organizers advertising 150 or more vendor tables packed into the spacious event center on the city's southwest side.
The selection here covers nearly every corner of the collecting world. Sports card dealers bring baseball, basketball, football, and hockey cards spanning pre-war vintage through the latest releases, plus soccer, racing, UFC, and boxing cards for collectors chasing those growing markets. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, CGC, and SGC are everywhere on the floor, from affordable graded rookies to four-figure vintage keys. On the trading card game side, expect a strong showing of Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana vendors, along with Star Wars cards, Funko Pops, autographed memorabilia, comics, and vintage toys. Supply dealers are on hand as well, so you can stock up on sleeves, toploaders, binders, and storage boxes while you shop.
The August show runs one day, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is free and parking at the venue is free as well, a combination that keeps this show family-friendly and easy to attend on a whim. The Norris Penrose Event Center is located on Lower Gold Camp Road on the southwest side of Colorado Springs, just minutes from downtown, with a large parking lot and easy load-in for vendors.
Who should attend? Practically everyone in the hobby. Families will appreciate the free entry and the abundance of kid-friendly Pokemon and dollar-box material. Set builders and vintage collectors can work through deep inventories of singles. Investors and flippers will find graded cards and sealed wax moving at competitive prices, and local dealers use this show to buy collections, so it is also one of the best places in the Springs to sell or get offers on your own cards.
To make the most of it, get there early — the 9:00 AM opening hour is when the sharpest buyers grab the underpriced gems, and popular tables get crowded fast on show days. Bring cash for stronger negotiating leverage, carry a want list so you do not lose focus in the sheer volume of cardboard, and leave room in your bag for supplies. If you are selling, bring your cards organized and be ready to walk multiple tables for competing offers before you accept one.
The Pikes Peak Card Show runs multiple dates throughout 2026, with additional shows scheduled for September 12, November 7, and December 5 at the same venue.
