The WSSCA Sports Cards & Memorabilia Show returns to the Lynnwood Convention Center on Saturday, September 12, 2026 for a dedicated, sports-first card show run by one of Washington's long-standing collector organizations. Where some shows spread across every collectible category, the WSSCA show leans hard into sports cards and memorabilia — making it a focused destination for serious baseball, football, basketball, and hockey collectors across the greater Seattle area. The Lynnwood Convention Center sits about twenty minutes north of downtown Seattle and pulls buyers from Seattle, Everett, Bellevue, Edmonds, Bothell, Mukilteo, and across Snohomish and King counties.
The vendor floor is built for sports collectors. Dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Goudey runs from the 1950s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s staples, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Seattle Mariners, Seahawks, Kraken, Sounders, Storm, Washington Huskies, Washington State Cougars, and Gonzaga inventory is reliably deep, with strong supplementary product on the Portland Trail Blazers, Vancouver Canucks, San Francisco 49ers, and Oregon Ducks. The September timing lands during the heart of NFL season and the MLB stretch run, driving demand for fresh football releases and Mariners product. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs, and additional tables carry autographed memorabilia, game-used jerseys, signed baseballs, photos, and team programs. While the focus is sports, you will still find Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and other TCG singles at select tables.
Show hours run 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM PDT. Admission is a modest door fee — typically around $5 for adults — with kids entering free alongside a paying adult. The WSSCA show is known for a friendly, knowledgeable dealer base and reasonable table pricing that keeps both buyers and sellers coming back.
The Lynnwood Convention Center is located at 3711 196th Street SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036, directly off I-5 at Exit 181 and a short walk from the Lynnwood City Center Link Light Rail station. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out on a single level with wide aisles. Free on-site parking is a welcome perk, and downtown Lynnwood restaurants and the Alderwood Mall sit minutes away for a lunch break.
This show fits sports collectors first. Serious vintage and high-end modern buyers should arrive right at the 10:00 AM door to work the cases before the best material moves. Set collectors and team collectors will find dealers happy to dig through boxes for specific players and years. Families and younger collectors are welcome, and first-timers will find the focused, sports-only layout easy to navigate.
For the best experience, arrive early, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle backups, and carry a detailed want list sorted by sport, player, and year. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a carrying box, and don't be shy about asking dealers what's in the back — sports specialists often keep their best vintage off the table.
