East County Card Show Returns to El Cajon

The East County Card Show is back! Join us on Sunday, November 22, 2026, for one of East County San Diego’s biggest trading card events. This special event also celebrates the one-year anniversary of SD Card Club.

We’re celebrating the anniversary the best way we know how. We’re bringing the East County collecting community together for a full day of cards, trading, entertainment, food, and giveaways.

The event runs from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at The Courtyard in El Cajon, located at 141 Magnolia Ave, El Cajon, CA 92020.

Best of all, admission is completely FREE and the event is open to all ages.

75+ Trading Card & Collectible Vendors

Get ready to shop, trade, and explore 75+ vendors from San Diego and Southern California.

Vendor tables will feature Pokémon, One Piece, Magic: The Gathering, sports cards, art, collectibles, merchandise, graded cards, raw singles, sealed products, and more.

Whether you collect vintage cards or the newest releases, there will be plenty to hunt for. In addition, collectors are encouraged to bring their own cards and trade binders.

Come ready to buy, sell, and trade with vendors and fellow collectors throughout the day.

Pokémon, One Piece, MTG & Sports Cards

Pokémon collectors can search for graded slabs, raw singles, sealed products, vintage cards, modern releases, and chase cards.

Meanwhile, TCG fans can explore One Piece and Magic: The Gathering products and singles. Sports collectors can also shop for basketball, football, baseball, graded cards, rookies, parallels, autographs, and more.

As a result, there is something for almost every type of collector.

More Than Just a Card Show

The return of the East County Card Show is also a celebration.

To mark SD Card Club’s one-year anniversary, we’re adding even more to the experience. Guests can enjoy a DJ, video games, face painting, a photo booth, giveaways, food, drinks, and more throughout the event.

Therefore, you don’t need to be a serious collector to have a great time. Bring your friends, bring the family, or introduce someone new to the hobby.

Kids are welcome too. Entry is free for everyone.

Celebrate One Year of SD Card Club

Over the past year, SD Card Club has helped bring collectors together through local events and the trading card hobby.

Now, we’re celebrating that milestone with the return of the East County Card Show in El Cajon.

This event is about more than finding your next card. It’s a chance to meet collectors, discover local vendors, make trades, enjoy entertainment, and spend the afternoon with the San Diego hobby community.

If you’re searching for a Pokémon event in El Cajon, San Diego trading card event, sports card event, TCG event, collectibles show, or family-friendly event in East County San Diego, come spend the day with us.
