The Taylor Trades Winter Card Show fills the Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building on Saturday, December 19, 2026, giving North Bay collectors one last big show before the holidays. Taylor Trades has built a loyal following in Sonoma County with its Friday night shows and its larger seasonal Saturday events, and the winter edition is planned as a multi-room show with more than 150 tables. For last-minute gift shoppers and collectors spending holiday cash early, the timing could not be better.
Vendors at Taylor Trades shows cover both halves of the hobby. Trading card game tables carry Pokémon singles, sealed product, and graded slabs, plus One Piece Card Game, Magic: The Gathering, and other TCGs. Sports dealers bring MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL cards, with strong Bay Area team inventory for the 49ers, Giants, Warriors, and Sharks, and plenty of modern rookies and vintage singles. The organizers also highlight memorabilia, jerseys, vintage toys, figures, and collectibles, so the winter show should feel like a holiday market for collectors. Past Taylor Trades Saturday shows have featured on-site grading and food vendors, including corn dogs and coffee, which makes a long day of digging easier.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under, with tickets sold at the door and free parking. Show hours had not been announced at the time of writing; the summer Saturday edition ran from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, so a similar daytime schedule is likely, but confirm times on the Taylor Trades website or Instagram before you go.
The Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building at 1351 Maple Avenue is one of Sonoma County's go-to hobby venues, with multiple rooms that let the show spread out rather than cram vendors into a single hall. It sits across from the Sonoma County Fairgrounds with easy access from Highway 12 and US-101, and it is roughly an hour from San Francisco. Downtown Santa Rosa and Railroad Square are nearby for lunch or holiday shopping afterward.
This show suits holiday gift shoppers, families with young Pokémon collectors, sports collectors hunting stocking stuffers and PC additions, and local sellers looking to move inventory before year end. Vendors from across the North Bay regularly set up here, so it is also a good place to meet the local collecting community.
Tips: bring a gift list along with your personal want list, and ask vendors about bundle pricing if you are buying several cards as presents. Cash helps with negotiating, though many vendors accept digital payments. Arrive early for the best selection of sealed product, which tends to move quickly in December. Bring top loaders and team bags so gifts stay protected until they are wrapped.
