The Power Card Show – Fall edition lands at the Mesa Convention Center on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 2026, bringing the East Valley's premier card-and-collectibles show back for a cooler-weather weekend. (Dates are projected from the operator's seasonal cadence after its Summer Splash edition; confirm on powercardshow.com before you go.) Billing itself as the East Valley's best card show and running since 2021, Power Card Show packs 250+ vendor tables of sports cards, TCGs, slabs, and pop-culture collectibles into a comfortable convention-center floor that's big enough to dig in but not so huge it wears you out.
The floor covers the full hobby. Sports cards are the backbone — MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL across modern Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome, Panini Prizm, Optic, Select, and Mosaic, plus higher-end Immaculate and National Treasures and a strong vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer presence in locked cases. Arizona Diamondbacks, Suns, and Cardinals team collectors do well here. Trading card games have a real footprint too: Pokemon sealed and singles, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs fill the premium tables, and you'll round out the floor with autographs, memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, vintage wax, and the supplies — sleeves, top loaders, binders — to protect everything you buy. The mix of vintage and modern plus the heavy slab presence makes this a strong show for both flippers and long-term collectors.
This is a two-day weekend show, typically running Saturday and Sunday daytime hours — check powercardshow.com for confirmed times, ticket pricing, and any breaker or signer programming. The show frequently runs a vendor waitlist because tables sell out, which is a good sign of a healthy, well-attended floor. Admission is collector-friendly with single-day and weekend options.
The Mesa Convention Center at 263 N Center St sits in downtown Mesa with on-site and nearby parking and easy access from US-60 and Loop 101/202, plus the Valley Metro light-rail line a short walk away. Downtown Mesa's restaurants make lunch and post-show plans simple, and October's milder Valley weather makes the whole outing more pleasant than the peak-summer shows.
Who should attend? Power Card Show is built for East Valley sports collectors, set builders, TCG players, slab buyers and flippers, autograph and memorabilia hunters, families, and dealers who want a well-run regional show with a deep table count. The two-day format lets you scout one day and close deals the next.
To get the most out of it, arrive early each day for the freshest inventory, bring cash for the best vendor pricing (Venmo and Zelle as backups), and carry a sorted want list with target prices. Pack a slab case and a stack of top loaders for pickups, and if you're chasing graded cards, walk the high-end tables first before they thin out.
