The Power Card Show returns to Gilbert for its May edition on Sunday, May 10, 2026, continuing its run as the largest free monthly trading card and Pokémon show in the state of Arizona. Held at San Tan Charter School's Recker Campus at 3959 E Elliott Rd in Gilbert, this monthly staple draws vendors and collectors from across the entire Valley and regularly fills 50 or more tables with sports cards, TCG singles, sealed product, graded slabs, and collectibles. Best of all, admission and parking are completely free — making this one of the most collector-friendly recurring events in the Southwest.
The Power Card Show vendor floor is built around the TCG and Pokémon community but extends well into sports cards and broader collectibles. Pokémon dealers bring raw singles from every generation — 1999 Wizards of the Coast base set through current Scarlet and Violet Prismatic Evolutions and beyond — alongside sealed booster packs, elite trainer boxes, Japanese exclusive products, and graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and CGC covering everything from first edition base set Charizards to modern chase alternate art hits. Yu-Gi-Oh! vendors cover current Advanced Format meta staples, classic format favorites, and budget commons and uncommons for newer players. Magic: The Gathering tables supply Commander staples and format singles at competitive shop prices. One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, and Riftbound fill additional TCG tables. Sports card dealers bring Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns, Arizona Cardinals, and Coyotes inventory alongside national rookies, vintage Topps and Bowman, and graded slabs in MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL. Funko Pops, vintage video games, comics, and hobby supplies round out the vendor selection.
The Power Card Show May edition runs on Sunday, May 10, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission is free for all attendees — there is no gate charge and no VIP tier. The San Tan Charter School Recker Campus offers free on-site parking in the school lots, making this one of the most logistically easy card shows in the Phoenix metro to attend.
San Tan Charter School's Recker Campus is located at 3959 E Elliott Rd in Gilbert, easily accessible from US-60 (Superstition Freeway), Gilbert Road, and Elliot Road. The venue is centrally positioned for collectors coming from Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Ahwatukee, and the East Valley, and multiple dining options are available along Gilbert Road and Baseline Road.
This show is a perfect fit for families looking for a free, friendly hobby day, competitive Pokémon players hunting tournament singles, East Valley collectors who prefer a community show over a major convention, sports card investors building Arizona team collections, and newer hobbyists exploring trading cards for the first time without financial pressure.
For the best experience, arrive close to the 10:00 AM opening for the widest vendor selection and freshest inventory, bring cash as most dealers offer cash discounts over card payments, carry a focused want list organized by game and set, and follow The Power Card Show on Instagram and Facebook for monthly date confirmations, vendor spotlights, and any schedule changes closer to the show date.
