The SD Card Show closes out May with another two-day run at the DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego Mission Valley — a fitting send-off to one of the busiest and most active months in the San Diego card calendar. With the Memorial Day weekend behind us and summer just around the corner, this show captures the energy of a hobby in full swing heading into the summer season.
The DoubleTree Mission Valley at Hazard Center Drive continues to be San Diego's most-visited card show venue for good reason: central location, excellent parking, a professional ballroom setup, and a consistent vendor lineup that collectors know and trust. This May 30–31 edition brings another solid weekend of dealer tables across sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, and collectibles.
Late May is a strong time for the card market — Bowman Baseball first editions are in the hands of collectors and grading companies, generating healthy buying activity in the prospect market. Soccer card collectors will find increasing inventory as clubs announce summer transfer activity. Pokémon and TCG dealers carry fresh summer set previews and current set singles.
The two-day format runs Saturday–Sunday with consistent show hours posted at sdcardshow.com. Admission is free or low-cost, making this show accessible for families, students, and new collectors alongside the hobby veterans who make up the regular vendor floor crowd.
Closing out May with this show gives San Diego collectors a fantastic bookend to a month that includes the SD Card Show Del Mar, the Front Row show, SD Collectibles events, and the Cards and Collectors evening shows. If you only attended a handful of these events, the May 30–31 DoubleTree show is a solid way to finish strong before summer.
