The Sports Cards and Collectible Show opens the fall season at Springfield Mall in Delaware County from Friday, September 4 through Sunday, September 6, 2026 — Labor Day weekend — with three days of free-entry card shopping on the west side of the Philadelphia metro. For collectors in Springfield, Media, Drexel Hill, and along the Baltimore Pike corridor, this is the closest stop on the region's busiest traveling card-show circuit.
Expect the series' signature mix across the vendor tables. Sports cards are the backbone: baseball, football, basketball, and hockey singles from vintage through the newest releases, with rookies, autographs, numbered parallels, graded PSA and SGC slabs, sealed wax, and deep discount boxes. Philadelphia teams dominate the local inventory — Phillies and Eagles especially, with the Sixers and Flyers close behind — and the timing is perfect, landing at the start of a new Eagles season when football cards move fastest. On the gaming side, Pokémon leads as always, joined by Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana singles and sealed product. Funko Pops, comics, memorabilia, and general collectibles round out the floor.
Hours are 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM each of the three days, and admission is free the entire weekend, with no tickets or tiers of any kind. The Labor Day weekend timing means Monday is open for whatever you did not finish — but the show itself wraps Sunday evening, so plan around the Friday-through-Sunday window.
Springfield Mall sits at 1250 Baltimore Pike at the junction with Route 320, with free parking all around the property and direct access via SEPTA's Route 101 trolley, which stops at the mall — making this one of the few card shows in the region you can reach by transit. Inside, the mall provides air conditioning, restrooms, and food options steps from the vendor tables.
This edition is built for families and casual collectors — free entry, long hours, holiday-weekend scheduling — but it rewards serious buyers too. Labor Day editions of mall shows tend to draw fresh collection buys from dealers who spent the summer accumulating, and the three-day format means Sunday negotiating gets results, since no dealer wants to pack slow-moving inventory after a holiday weekend.
Tips for the weekend: work the tables Friday for first pick of freshly stocked inventory, then return Sunday afternoon for the best prices of the show. Bring cash for negotiating power, carry a want list with target prices, and lap the full show once before buying, because table-to-table price variation on the same cards is common. Kids should head for the dollar boxes, and anyone with a collection to sell can comfortably gather multiple offers in one visit.
See the show's cardshows.io listing for vendor updates and the full series calendar. Springfield Mall hosts this operator repeatedly through the fall and winter — additional dates run November 27–29, December 4–6, December 11–13, December 18–20, and December 26–27 — so the Labor Day edition is your first of many chances to work these tables before the holidays.
