The Showcase Card Show returns to the Anaheim Marriott on the July 4 holiday weekend, running Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5, 2026. This is the in-Anaheim edition of the Showcase series, and the Marriott has hosted the show repeatedly — a familiar venue, a well-organized floor, and a vendor lineup that consistently draws collectors from across Southern California for two full days of buying, selling, and trading right next to the Anaheim Convention Center.
On the floor, expect a broad cross-section of the hobby. Sports tables cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across both vintage and modern. You will find vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer at the dig tables, 1980s and 1990s wax for the rip-the-pack crowd, and a wall of modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs fill the locked cases at the high-end tables. TCG tables run deep on Pokemon — Scarlet & Violet singles, sealed boxes, ETBs, Japanese imports, and vintage WOTC chase cards — plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z. Memorabilia, autographs, sealed wax, comics, Funko Pops, and supplies round out the room.
Show hours run 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday, with VIP early-access tickets unlocking the room at 10:00 AM ahead of general admission at 11:00 AM. The first 100 ticket holders in line each day receive a free Pokemon or sports booster pack — a signature Showcase perk worth lining up for. General admission is free with an online ticket reserved through Tickettailor, or $5 at the door — the online route saves money and guarantees entry on the busiest morning. Kids 12 and under are typically free with an accompanying adult.
The Anaheim Marriott sits at 700 W Convention Way, directly across from the Anaheim Convention Center and a short walk from the Disneyland Resort, with on-site garage parking and a discounted Showcase room block for out-of-town attendees. Plenty of dining sits within walking distance, which makes it easy to make a full holiday-weekend day out of it.
Who should attend? The Showcase Card Show is built for everyone in the hobby — families with kids cracking their first packs, set builders chasing specific cards, vintage diggers, modern flippers, slab hunters, prospect chasers, and Pokemon and TCG fans. The two-day window plus the free entry option makes it especially easy for first-timers to spend an afternoon scoping the room on Saturday and a second morning circling back for the pieces they really want.
To get the most out of the weekend, arrive close to opening on Saturday for first crack at fresh inventory, walk the full room before pulling the trigger on a big buy, and carry a sorted want list with target prices so you can move fast when a deal appears. Bring cash for the quickest transactions, pack a slab case and a few extra top loaders to protect your pickups, and bring a trade binder if you like to deal.
