Randall Rated Goods brings its RRG TCG & Collectibles Show to Mira Mesa on Thursday, October 1, 2026, with a weeknight evening show hosted in the Mira Mesa High School Media Center. Following successful stops at local breweries, this edition moves into a school setting that puts the focus squarely on the community side of the hobby, with forty-plus vendor tables, free entry, and a trade-night format that welcomes players and collectors of all ages.
The show is trading-card-game first. Pokemon dominates the tables with modern singles, illustration rares, graded slabs, vintage holos, and sealed product. Alongside Pokemon, expect Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Fusion World from dedicated TCG vendors. A smaller selection of sports cards spanning MLB, NBA, and NFL usually appears, as do Funko Pops, plush, and other collectibles. Because a share of the vendors are local players rather than full-time dealers, prices are often collector-friendly and trades are easy to negotiate.
Doors open at 4:30 PM and the show runs until 10:00 PM. The early start lets students and families arrive straight from school, and the long evening window gives working collectors plenty of time to make it after hours.
Admission is free, and parking on the school lot is free as well. No tickets are required. A giveaway runs during the event, with drawings announced on the floor. Because the venue is a school library, outside alcohol is not permitted and the atmosphere is family-friendly throughout.
Mira Mesa High School is located at 10510 Marauder Way, San Diego, CA 92126, just north of Mira Mesa Boulevard and a short drive from Interstate 15 or Interstate 805. Follow signage from the main parking lot to the Media Center. The surrounding Mira Mesa neighborhood is packed with restaurants along Mira Mesa Boulevard for a quick dinner before or after.
The RRG show is a natural fit for Pokemon and One Piece collectors, families with kids new to the hobby, students, and traders who want a busy but low-pressure room. Serious sports card buyers will find limited inventory and should treat this as a TCG event. First-timers will appreciate the free entry and approachable vendors.
A few tips for the night: arrive near 4:30 PM to see showcases before they thin out, bring cash since many vendors are individuals rather than businesses, and pack a trade binder sorted by game and set. Keep a want list handy and ask vendors about cards they may have in boxes rather than on display. Enter the giveaway when you arrive.
