About Card Show Schedule

A calendar of card shows and a directory of card shops, built to be right rather than big. As of Nov 2, 2026 it lists 753 upcoming show dates in 42 states, 209 recurring shows and 7,313 card shops.

Where show dates come from

Every show date comes from a page the promoter or the venue publishes: the promoter's own schedule page, a venue's event calendar, or a card shop announcing a show it hosts. Each show page links to that source. We do not copy other card show directories or calendars.

How we check them

• Every week we re-open every source page and confirm the date is still posted. The show page says when it was last confirmed.
• If a date disappears from the promoter's page, we take it off the calendar until we can confirm it again.
• Hours, admission and table counts appear only when the promoter states them. We leave blanks rather than guess.
• Shows that have ended drop off the calendar automatically.

Promoters still move and cancel shows on short notice, so confirm with the promoter before you travel.

Where shop listings come from

Card shops come from public Google Maps listings, searched city by city. We keep only stores that sell trading cards and sort them into dedicated card shops, game stores and comic shops, and we leave out big-box chains. Each shop page shows the date we checked it. Ratings are shown as Google's rating and count on that date; we do not copy review text.

Money

The site is supported by display advertising. Listings are free; nobody pays to be included, and no listing is ranked by payment. If we ever add paid featured placements they will be labeled "Featured".
