The Ohio State Card Show returns to Kasich Hall at the Ohio Expo Center on Friday, February 5, and Saturday, February 6, 2027, and it is the biggest card event on the Columbus calendar this winter. Promoted by Greenie Sports Cards, the show fills the Expo Center's Kasich Hall with more than 300 dealer tables of sports cards, Pokémon and trading card games, drawing dealers and collectors from across Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. The Ohio Expo Center itself bills the event as a Sports Card, Pokémon and TCG Trade Show.
What you will find: everything. Sports card dealers bring MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, UFC, boxing and soccer across every era, from raw modern rookies and numbered parallels to high-end vintage slabs, autographs and game-used memorabilia. Early February sits between the Super Bowl and spring training, so expect deep football inventory and dealers stocking up on baseball. The TCG section is large, with Pokémon leading and strong representation from Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball. Grading-company representatives, live breakers, supply vendors, memorabilia dealers and giveaways are all standard at Greenie shows.
Hours: the Expo Center lists show hours as 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Friday, February 5, and Saturday, February 6, are both expected to follow that schedule; confirm the Saturday hours on greeniesportscards.com before you go.
Admission is $5 per person per the Ohio Expo Center listing. Kids' pricing and any early-bird or two-day pass should be confirmed with Greenie Sports Cards. Tickets are sold at the door. Cash is recommended for the best negotiations, and ATMs are available in the building.
Venue and parking: the Ohio Expo Center is at 717 East 17th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43211, on the north side of the city off I-71 at the 17th Avenue exit, about ten minutes from downtown and the Ohio State campus. Parking on the Expo Center grounds is $7 for a one-time entry. Kasich Hall is fully indoor and heated, with restrooms and concessions from the Expo Center's food service.
Who should attend: serious buyers and dealers looking for the deepest inventory in the region, TCG players and collectors, families making a day of it, and first-timers who want to see what a major show looks like. Friday is quieter and better for focused buying; Saturday is the big crowd.
Tips: arrive at opening, bring cash in mixed bills, a want list, a trade binder and a rolling bag, and wear comfortable shoes because 300 tables take hours to cover. Walk the floor once before buying since prices vary table to table.
Kasich Hall is one of the largest exhibition spaces in Central Ohio, so the show never feels cramped even at peak Saturday crowds, and the Expo Center's wide loading docks mean dealers bring in showcase inventory they would not haul to a smaller venue.
