The Sports Cards & Collectibles Show returns to Pearlridge Center in Aiea on Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9, 2026, holding down its familiar second-weekend-of-the-month slot on the Oahu card calendar. This mall-based show has become the island's most dependable monthly marketplace for sports cards and collectibles, pairing a rotating lineup of local vendors with the heavy foot traffic of one of Hawaii's largest shopping centers — and admission is free.
Sports cards are the heart of this show, and the tables reflect what Hawaii collects. Expect deep MLB inventory including players with island roots, plus NBA, NFL, and NHL singles, rookies, parallels, and inserts spanning junk wax era bargains to modern chrome. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and SGC are always on hand, and vintage dealers regularly surface cardboard you simply will not find in shops. The collectibles side broadens the appeal: Pokemon and other trading card games, Funko Pops, memorabilia, toys, and comics typically fill out the vendor mix, which is part of why this show works so well for families — there is something on the tables for everyone, whether or not they collect cards.
The show runs during regular mall hours both days, typically from around 10:00 AM into the early evening, set up in the mall's common areas where shoppers and collectors mingle. Because vendors rotate month to month, no two editions are identical; regulars make a point of walking every table every month because inventory genuinely turns over.
Pearlridge Center is located at 98-1005 Moanalua Road in Aiea, roughly 20 minutes west of downtown Honolulu via the H-1. Parking is free in the mall garages and lots, the entire show is air conditioned, and the food court plus surrounding restaurants make it painless to turn the show into a half-day outing. The mall setting also means restrooms, seating, and stroller-friendly access everywhere — details that matter when you bring the whole family.
Who should attend? Families and casual collectors get a free, comfortable browse with zero commitment. Set builders and player collectors should bring want lists, because the singles boxes here reward diggers. Serious collectors and resellers use the monthly cadence to build vendor relationships — the dealers who set up at Pearlridge are the same faces you will see at the bigger annual shows, and being a familiar customer earns better prices over time.
Tips for the best experience: come Saturday morning if you are hunting anything specific, since the best vintage and graded material moves the first day. Bring cash for faster deals and better negotiating leverage, though most vendors also take cards and payment apps. Carry a want list, and if you are trading, bring your binder sleeved and organized. Sunday afternoon is bargain time — vendors packing up would usually rather sell than reload boxes into the car.
