The Regional SoCal Cards & Collectibles Show runs a special TCG-only edition on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove. Unlike the promoter's usual mixed sports-and-TCG weekends, this one is dedicated entirely to trading card games, which makes it the most focused Pokemon, One Piece and Magic buying opportunity in Orange County this month, and it is free to attend.
Expect a ballroom of TCG specialists. Pokemon vendors bring current-set singles, special illustration rares, vintage WOTC holos, Japanese boxes and promos, sealed elite trainer boxes and a wide range of PSA, CGC and Beckett slabs. One Piece Card Game sellers carry leaders, alt arts, manga rares and sealed product; Magic: The Gathering tables focus on commander staples and older reserved-list cards; and Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Super Fusion World, Digimon and Union Arena all get dedicated tables. Because it is TCG-only, you will not find sports card cases here, but you will find deeper TCG inventory than at most mixed shows.
The show runs 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is free and parking at the hotel is free for show attendees, a combination that is rare for a hotel ballroom show in Orange County. Vendor tables can be reserved through the promoter's Linktree at linktr.ee/theregional_socalcardshow.
The Delta Hotels by Marriott Anaheim Garden Grove is at 12021 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92840, on Harbor Boulevard just south of Chapman Avenue and directly across from the Hyatt Regency Orange County, where The Showcase Card Show is running the same day. From Santa Ana it is a ten to fifteen minute drive up Harbor or via the 22 Freeway. Restaurants line Harbor Boulevard in both directions, and the hotel has its own dining.
Who should attend: competitive Pokemon, One Piece and Magic players who need singles, TCG collectors hunting graded chase cards, families with kids who are into Pokemon, and anyone who wants to spend a Sunday comparing prices across two shows without moving the car. Sports-only collectors should plan to cross the street to the Showcase show instead.
Tips: the 10 AM opening is the best time for selection, since serious buyers hit the graded cases first. Bring a trade binder because many TCG vendors here will trade rather than just sell, and bring cash for the best prices. Carry a want list with current TCGplayer prices so you can spot real deals quickly. Sleeves and toploaders for raw purchases are a must. If you are attending both Garden Grove shows, start here at 10, walk across Harbor to the Showcase show around noon, and come back for late-day deals before 4 PM.
