SoCal Card Con closes out its September series with a final weekend Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27, 2026 at STC Rowland Legacy, 18993 Colima Road in Rowland Heights. Three straight weekends at one venue is unusual for a regional TCG show, and the closer tends to be the best for buyers: dealers who have been set up for three weeks are motivated to move inventory rather than haul it home, and the promoter usually saves its biggest community giveaways for the finale. It is also the last chance to catch this free-entry format before the promoter announces its next dates.
What is on the tables: Pokemon in every form — modern Scarlet & Violet singles and sealed, Japanese boxes and promos, vintage WOTC holos, graded slabs from PSA, CGC, and BGS, and binder bulk for set builders. One Piece continues to be the show's second engine, with leaders, parallel alt-arts, and manga rares. Riftbound, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering are all represented, and accessory vendors carry sleeves, top loaders, binders, storage, playmats, and display cases. Local artists sell prints and custom merch, giving the show a convention feel despite its free admission.
Hours mirror the earlier weekends: Friday, September 25 is an evening session from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM; Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27 run 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Admission and parking are free all three days. The first 50 attendees each day get a free Pokemon or One Piece booster pack, every attendee receives free community raffle tickets, and on-site security is present throughout.
STC Rowland Legacy is on Colima Road just off the 60 freeway at Nogales Street, with free surface parking in the center's lot. The location serves the whole east San Gabriel Valley — Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, Diamond Bar, Walnut, West Covina, La Puente, and Whittier — and is an easy drive from the Brea and Fullerton side of Orange County. The surrounding plaza is packed with restaurants, so plan a meal break between laps.
Who should attend? Bargain hunters should make this the weekend they show up, since closing-weekend pricing is the softest of the series. Pokemon and One Piece collectors, families looking for a free activity, players prepping decks for fall tournaments, and anyone curious about the SoCal TCG scene will all find something.
To maximize the day, get in line before the doors open for the free pack, then walk the entire floor before buying. Bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle, a trade binder, a slab case, and a written want list with target prices. Ask vendors about bundle pricing on Sunday afternoon — with the series wrapping up, many will deal. Keep raffle tickets handy for the finale drawings.
