Southern California Sports Card Show

The Southern California Sports Card Show opens the fall season at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Culver City on Saturday, September 5, 2026, kicking off Labor Day weekend with a full day of cardboard on LA's Westside. This long-running Saturday series is the Westside's most dependable traditional card show — a spacious civic auditorium, veteran SoCal dealers, and a collector crowd that has been coming back monthly for years. With football season kicking off and baseball's pennant races heating up, the September edition is one of the liveliest dates on this show's calendar. Sports cards are the heart of the room. Expect strong coverage of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer, with September bringing a seasonal surge in football — fresh NFL rookies in Prizm, Optic, Select, and Mosaic — next to the show's reliable baseball depth in Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome prospects. The vintage tables are the sleeper strength here: 1950s-70s Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, star cards, set-builder boxes, and graded PSA, BGS, and SGC slabs in locked cases, with Dodgers, Lakers, Rams, and Kings material always in demand. Most editions also seat TCG dealers carrying Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and One Piece, plus memorabilia, autographs, supplies, and productive dollar boxes. Show hours run 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday, September 5 — a generous eight-hour window that lets you work the room at your own pace. Admission is modest at the door (typically a few dollars, kids often free with a paying adult); bring small bills and confirm the current policy if bringing the family. The Veterans Memorial Auditorium sits at 4117 Overland Avenue at Culver Boulevard, with free and low-cost parking around the Culver City civic complex and quick access from the 405 and the 10. The show draws from Culver City, Palms, Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Venice, West LA, Westchester, and the south Valley, and the air-conditioned hall makes a comfortable escape from early-September heat.
