The Premier SoCal Card Show is one of Orange County's biggest one-day card events, returning Saturday, May 30, 2026 to the Delta Hotels Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove at 12021 Harbor Boulevard. With 150 vendor tables and free general admission, this is a friendly, accessible show that draws collectors from across the Anaheim metro for a single high-energy day of trading, buying, and selling. If you are new to the hobby, new to OC, or just looking for a one-stop Saturday outing, it is one of the easiest shows in the area to walk into without a plan and still leave with a stack of cards you actually wanted.
Vendors lean heavily into sports cards across MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer, with strong representation across both vintage and modern. Expect rows of Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, and Mosaic, alongside 1980s and 1990s wax, junk-wax bargain bins, and case-priced PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs for the serious chase. Trading card games are well represented too — Pokemon singles and sealed product across the Scarlet & Violet era, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z all get tables — plus memorabilia, autographs, sealed wax, Funko Pops, comics, and the usual supplies like sleeves, top loaders, and binders.
Show hours run 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday, May 30, giving you a focused six-hour window to work the room. General admission is free with a ticket reserved in advance through the show's listing on TCG Shows Near Me, with limited at-the-door entry as well. Children are welcome with a parent or guardian, and many vendors are happy to chat through the basics of grading, condition, and pricing for newer collectors.
The Delta Hotels Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove sits right on Harbor Boulevard, just a few minutes from the Disneyland Resort and the I-5 freeway, with hotel parking on site and Disneyland-area dining within walking distance. The air-conditioned ballroom layout makes for an easy day even if the SoCal sun is in full effect, and the central OC location pulls collectors from Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, and Long Beach in roughly equal numbers.
Who should attend? This show is built for the full range of Orange County collectors — first-timers, families with kids opening their first packs, serious slab buyers, set builders, vintage diggers, modern flippers, prospect hunters, and TCG players. The combination of free entry, a central OC location, and 150 vendor tables makes it especially good for someone dipping into the hobby in person for the first time.
To get the most out of the day, arrive close to the 11:00 AM open for first pick of fresh inventory, make a full loop before pulling the trigger on a big buy, and bring cash to keep transactions fast — most vendors accept Venmo or Zelle as backup but reward cash with friendlier prices. Carry a sorted want list with target prices, pack a slab case and a few extra top loaders for pickups, and bring a trade binder if you like to deal.
