The Sports Cards & Collectibles Show returns to Pearlridge Center in Aiea for its October weekend on Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, 2026. Held on the second weekend of every month, this mall-based show is the most reliable recurring card show in Central Oahu, and the October edition arrives with football and basketball season in full swing, which makes it a big weekend for sports collectors in particular.
The show sets up in the common areas of the mall, so it draws two audiences at once: dedicated collectors who plan their month around it and mall shoppers who stumble into it and leave with a starter binder. Vendors know this and bring a wide spread. Sports cards anchor the floor, with NFL rookies, NBA rookies from the newest draft class, MLB playoff heroes, boxing and UFC, and vintage cardboard from the 1970s through the 1990s. Graded slabs from PSA, SGC, CGC, and BGS are plentiful. Pokemon is the largest non-sports category, followed by One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball. Collectibles vendors round it out with Funko Pops, Hot Wheels, vintage toys, comics, and memorabilia.
The show runs during mall hours both days, generally from around 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Saturday morning is when the freshest inventory is on the tables; Sunday afternoon is when prices soften.
Pearlridge Center is at 98-1005 Moanalua Road in Aiea, roughly 20 minutes west of downtown Honolulu on the H-1 and easy to reach from the Leeward and Central Oahu communities. Parking is free in the mall's multi-level garages and surface lots. The venue is fully indoor and air conditioned, and the food court and restaurants are steps from the tables, which makes it painless to spend most of a day here.
Admission is free. This is a walk-up show inside a shopping mall, so there is no ticket and no line.
Because it is free, indoor, and inside a mall, this is the most family-friendly recurring show on the island. Parents can browse while kids look through dollar boxes, and the security and amenities of a mall environment make it low-stress. Serious collectors come for the consistent rotation of local dealers, many of whom bring their best sports inventory here rather than to the TCG-heavy shows.
Tips: hit the show early on Saturday for rookies and slabs, then circle back Sunday afternoon to negotiate on whatever is left. Bring cash for small purchases, a want list, and sleeves or top loaders. If you are new to grading, several vendors here can walk you through submission options.
