The Power Card Show Summer Splash makes its grand debut at the Mesa Convention Center from Friday through Sunday, May 22–24, 2026, marking the biggest event yet from Arizona's most beloved monthly TCG and trading card brand. After years of running the state's most-attended free monthly show, the Power Card Show team is going large for Memorial Day Weekend with a three-day multi-room convention format featuring more than 250 vendor tables, ticketed early access sessions, tournament events, exclusive product releases, and the full energy of a community-built card show scaled up to convention size. If you have ever attended a Power Card Show monthly and wondered what it would look like with ten times the vendors, this is your answer.
The Summer Splash vendor floor is anchored by an exceptional Pokémon TCG dealer presence. Dozens of Pokémon vendors bring raw singles across every generation from the 1999 Wizards of the Coast base set through current Scarlet and Violet era expansions, with particular depth in sought-after vintage holos, modern alternate art hits, and budget commons and uncommons for newer players. Sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, premium collection tins, and Japanese exclusive products fill entire vendor runs. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and CGC cover first edition base set classics, shadowless staples, gold stars, and modern high-pop chase cards. Yu-Gi-Oh! tables cover Advanced Format, Master Duel, Speed Duel, and vintage classic sets. Magic: The Gathering vendors deliver Commander staples, Pioneer and Modern singles, draft booster boxes, and Reserved List vintage staples. One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Riftbound, and Flesh and Blood all have dedicated floor space. Sports card dealers bring Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns, Arizona Cardinals, and Coyotes inventory alongside national tier-one rookies and graded Hall of Fame slabs in MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL. Anime merchandise, Funko Pops, vintage video games, comics, and hobby supplies complete the vendor lineup.
The Power Card Show Summer Splash runs Friday, May 22 from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM for early access badge holders and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM for general admission, Saturday, May 23 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday, May 24 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Weekend passes and single-day general admission tickets are available through the Power Card Show website. Early access badges are expected to sell out quickly — secure yours as soon as registration opens.
The Mesa Convention Center at 263 N Center St sits in the heart of downtown Mesa, easily accessible from US-60 (Superstition Freeway), the Loop 202, Mesa Drive, and the Valley Metro Light Rail Main Street / Mesa Dr station. On-site and nearby garage parking are available, and downtown Mesa's restaurants, cafés, and entertainment venues are all within walking distance.
This convention is built for the full Arizona hobby community — Pokémon collectors at every budget, competitive TCG tournament players, sports card investors, families looking for a Memorial Day Weekend hobby adventure, and dealers building relationships across the East Valley and greater Phoenix market.
