The 520 Card Show — July Edition returns to the Tucson Convention Center on Saturday, July 25, 2026 for the mid-summer monsoon-season edition of Tucson's premier dedicated trading-card and collectibles event. Hosted at 260 South Church Avenue in the heart of downtown Tucson, this one-day Saturday show packs more than 60 vendor tables of sports cards, TCG, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, autographed memorabilia, anime, toys, and pop-culture collectibles into a climate-controlled TCC hall — and consistently pulls collectors driving in from Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Vail, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Catalina Foothills, Casas Adobes, Tanque Verde, plus the I-10 corridor from Phoenix, Casa Grande, Nogales, and across the New Mexico state line from Lordsburg and Las Cruces. Late-July timing drops the show right onto the MLB All-Star afterglow window and the front of the National Sports Collectors Convention week — historically one of the most product-rich and ripe-for-deals times of the entire calendar with dealers stocking inventory in preparation for the National.
The vendor floor packs every corner of the trading card hobby. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Arizona Wildcats basketball and football, Arizona Diamondbacks, Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, Las Vegas Raiders, Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and Mexican Pacific League winter-ball inventory moves consistently. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
Doors open Saturday, July 25 from 11:00 AM MST to 6:00 PM MST. General admission runs $8 at the door, with VIP early-entry tickets up to $20 — VIP grants 10:00 AM access for first-pick of the dealer floor plus a swag bag and bonus raffle entries. Kids 12 and under are admitted free with a paying adult. Door-prize raffles run hourly throughout the day with prizes donated by participating vendors — graded rookie cards, sealed booster boxes, and Pokémon Elite Trainer Boxes are common giveaways. Advance tickets are available at 520cardshow.com.
The Tucson Convention Center is at 260 South Church Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85701, in downtown Tucson with quick access from Interstate 10 at the Congress Street and Broadway exits. The hall is climate-controlled — critical comfort for a July Tucson Saturday during monsoon season — ADA-accessible, and laid out with wide aisles. Paid parking is plentiful in the on-site TCC garage and surrounding downtown lots, and the Congress Street corridor and Fourth Avenue have dozens of restaurant options within ten minutes including HUB Restaurant, Hotel Congress, El Charro, BATA, Cup Café, and Mercado San Agustín.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, breakers, prospect hunters, vintage buyers, and competitive tournament players. For the best experience, lock in a VIP ticket for the 10:00 AM early-entry window, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case. Monsoon afternoon storms are common — keep a binder cover or zip-top bag handy for the walk back to your car.
