SD Card Club and cardsandcollectors.com host their September Card Show on Friday, September 25, 2026, at BNS Brewing & Distilling Co. in Santee, turning one of East County's favorite breweries into a Friday-night trading card marketplace. With more than forty vendors, themed food and drinks, and a crowd that comes ready to trade, this is one of the liveliest evening shows in San Diego County and a great excuse to end the work week with cards in hand.
The forty-plus vendor tables cover a broad spread of the hobby. Pokemon is the anchor, with graded slabs, modern hits, vintage holos, Japanese product, and sealed boxes available at nearly every stop. Other trading card games are well represented, including Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Sports card collectors will find MLB, NBA, NFL, and soccer inventory from dollar bins to graded rookies and autographed cards. Expect a few tables of comics, Funko Pops, and general collectibles as well. The event is sponsored by DeckTradr, and giveaways are drawn throughout the night.
The show runs from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The five-hour evening format is generous for a Friday show; the first two hours bring the heaviest foot traffic and the freshest showcases, while the final hour is the moment for bargain hunters as vendors look to move product rather than pack it.
Admission is free and the event is open to all ages. There are no tickets to purchase. BNS Brewing offers its full lineup of craft beer and house-distilled spirits, plus themed food and drink specials for the show, so adults can enjoy a pint while browsing and kids are welcome on the floor.
BNS Brewing & Distilling Co. is located at 10960 Wheatlands Avenue, Suite 101, Santee, CA 92071, in an industrial park off Cuyamaca Street with easy access from Highway 52 and Highway 67. Parking in the business park is free, and there is usually ample street parking nearby in the evening.
This show serves families and casual collectors looking for a fun night out, traders who want an active crowd, Pokemon and One Piece specialists hunting specific cards, and dealers looking for a well-attended East County venue. First-timers will find a welcoming community where nobody minds a question.
To get the best experience, arrive close to 5:00 PM for first pick, bring cash for the sharpest prices, and pack a trade binder sorted by set. Write out a short want list and ask vendors about inventory that is not on the table. Take a full lap before buying, and stick around for the giveaways.
