• Sealed Boxes: Wax packs and hobby boxes from your favorite sports and TCG sets if you love the thrill of the rip.

• Diverse Genres: From NFL, NBA, and MLB sports cards to Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, and other popular TCGs.

2. Buying, Selling, and Trading

This isn't just a place to shop—it’s an active trading floor.

• Bring your trade binders or a case of your best cards.

• Many vendors are actively looking to buy inventory, make deals, or trade up.

• Tip: Make sure your cards are organized and priced out beforehand to make trading smooth!

3. Giveaways & Raffles

Who doesn't love free stuff? Throughout the day, the showcase will feature exciting giveaways and raffles. Every attendee has a chance to walk away with awesome prizes, adding an extra layer of excitement to your day.

We will be hosting a Silent Auction for charity up on the main stage with some really cool items!
