The Sports Cards & Collectibles Show at Pearlridge Center in Aiea holds its final 2026 edition on Saturday, December 12, and Sunday, December 13. This second-weekend mall show is the most dependable recurring card event in Central Oahu, and the December weekend is its busiest of the year: the mall is packed with holiday shoppers, vendors bring their most gift-ready inventory, and collectors come to close out their year-end want lists before the holidays.
Setting up in the mall's common areas, the show serves dedicated collectors and passing shoppers alike, and vendors stock accordingly. Sports cards anchor the floor with NFL cards in playoff-push mode, NBA rookies six weeks into their first season, MLB vintage and Hall of Fame cards, NHL, boxing, and UFC, and a broad spread of graded slabs from PSA, SGC, CGC, and BGS. Pokemon is the top non-sports category, with modern chase cards, Japanese product, and, in December especially, sealed ETBs, holiday collection boxes, and tins that make easy gifts. One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball are all present, and collectibles vendors bring Funko Pops, Hot Wheels, vintage toys, comics, and memorabilia. Starter bundles, dollar boxes, and supplies for young collectors are everywhere in December.
The show runs during mall hours both days; holiday hours at Pearlridge are extended, so expect roughly 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM or later. Saturday morning is when the freshest inventory is on the tables, and Sunday afternoon is when prices soften.
Pearlridge Center is at 98-1005 Moanalua Road in Aiea, about 20 minutes west of downtown Honolulu on the H-1. Parking is free in the mall garages and surface lots, though the lots fill quickly on December weekends, so arrive early or park at the far end of the property. The show is fully indoor and air conditioned, and the food court and restaurants are steps away.
Admission is free. It is a walk-up show inside a shopping mall with no ticket or line.
The free, indoor, mall setting makes this the most family-friendly recurring show on Oahu, and in December it is also the most convenient: parents can finish holiday shopping and pick up cards in one trip. Serious collectors come for the consistent rotation of local dealers who bring their best sports inventory here rather than to the TCG-focused shows. Gift shoppers will find sealed product, graded cards, and supplies at every price point.
Tips: shop Saturday morning for rookies and slabs, then return Sunday afternoon to negotiate on what is left. Bring cash for smaller purchases, a want list that includes gift targets, and sleeves or top loaders. Ask vendors about bundle pricing on sealed product; many offer holiday deals.
