The Sports Cards and Collectible Show makes its late-summer stop at Montgomery Mall in North Wales from Friday, August 28 through Sunday, August 30, 2026, closing out August with three days of free-admission card shopping for the upper Montgomery County crowd. Part of the same traveling series that hits Willow Grove, Springfield, and Oxford Valley malls throughout the year, the Montgomery Mall edition serves collectors in Lansdale, Doylestown, Ambler, and the entire Route 309 corridor who would otherwise face a long drive to a dedicated show hall.
The tables carry the full spread the series is known for. Sports cards anchor the show: MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL singles from vintage to ultra-modern, rookies and autographs, numbered parallels, graded slabs, and sealed product, with the heavy Phillies and Eagles emphasis every Philadelphia-area show delivers. Pokémon is the strongest gaming draw, spanning affordable kid-friendly packs through vintage holos and graded chase cards, and Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana all make regular appearances. Comics, Funko Pops, memorabilia, and oddball collectibles fill out the mix, which keeps the show interesting even for the non-collectors in your group.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM all three days, and admission is free throughout — no tickets, no VIP tiers, no children's pricing to think about because everyone walks in free. That ten-hour daily window is the format's superpower: shop Friday evening, Saturday morning, or Sunday afternoon, whatever fits the weekend.
Montgomery Mall sits at 230 Montgomery Mall at the intersection of Routes 309 and 202 in North Wales, with abundant free parking, full food-court amenities, restrooms, and air conditioning. Vendor tables set up in the mall's common areas, so strollers and wheelchairs navigate easily, and you are never more than a short walk from food and drink.
This is a show for families, casual collectors, and set builders first — the free door and mall setting make it the lowest-commitment card event in the region — but sharp buyers do well here too. Mall-show dealers reprice across a three-day run, and inventory that did not move by Sunday afternoon becomes negotiable, so repeat visits pay. Collectors with cards to sell will also find dealers on this circuit buying all weekend.
A few tips for the weekend: go early Friday for first pick, and return Sunday for the markdowns. Bring cash even though most vendors take cards, because cash still closes the best deals. Keep a want list with target prices, compare overlapping inventory across tables before buying, and if you are introducing a kid to the hobby, start them at the dollar boxes — every table has them, and they are the cheapest fun in collecting.
Full series dates and vendor information are on the show's cardshows.io listing. The same operator returns to Montgomery Mall October 30 through November 1, so August 28–30 is the first of two fall chances to catch this show without leaving the Route 309 corridor.
