The SportsBase — Sports Cards, TCG & Collectibles Show lands at Sports Basement Long Beach the weekend of June 28 and 29, 2026, and the price of admission is the best part: it's completely free, both days. Hosted right inside the Sports Basement store at 2100 North Bellflower Boulevard, this two-day community show packs in more than 100 vendor tables and has quickly become one of the most beloved local card events on the east side of Long Beach, minutes from CSULB and the 405 freeway.
The vendor mix is deliberately broad and beginner-friendly. Sports dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer cards across every era — affordable vintage, 1990s boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, with deep Dodgers, Lakers, Angels, Kings, Rams, and Chargers local-team cases. TCG is a major draw here: Pokémon singles and sealed product from vintage WOTC Base through modern Scarlet & Violet, plus One Piece TCG, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, and Star Wars Unlimited. You'll also find graded slabs in PSA, BGS, CGC, and SGC flips, autographed memorabilia, Funko Pops, vintage toys, and hobby supplies.
Because it's free and family-run, the atmosphere skews welcoming. Parents bring kids to buy their first packs, casual collectors browse without pressure, and serious dealers still bring strong inventory because the foot traffic is real. Vendors regularly hand free base singles and bulk commons to engaged younger collectors, and trade-friendly tables make it easy to move duplicates from your binder.
Hours run Saturday and Sunday from roughly 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific — confirm the exact window on the Sports Basement Long Beach Eventbrite listing closer to the date, as community-show hours can shift slightly. Admission is free, no ticket required, though grabbing a free RSVP on Eventbrite helps the organizers plan. Parking in the Sports Basement lot and surrounding retail center is free and plentiful.
Sports Basement Long Beach sits at 2100 North Bellflower Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90815, in the Los Altos shopping area on the east side of town, a quick hop off the 405 at Bellflower or Spring Street. The store itself is climate-controlled with wide aisles, restrooms, and a café area, and there's abundant dining nearby along Bellflower and Spring, plus the CSULB-adjacent eateries a few minutes south.
This show is ideal for families, kids, first-timers, casual collectors, and budget-minded buyers who want a low-stakes, no-admission-fee way to dig through tables — but there's enough quality inventory that serious sports and TCG collectors leave happy too. For the best experience, arrive close to opening for the freshest tables, bring cash plus Venmo as backup, and carry a written want list. Pack sleeves and a binder for trades.
