The SportsBase – TCG, Sports Cards & Collectibles Show is one of Long Beach's most exciting free community events for collectors and fans of all kinds. Returning on June 28–29, 2026, this two-day show at Sports Basement Long Beach packs more than 100 vendor tables under one roof and charges absolutely zero admission, making it one of the most accessible and family-friendly card shows in all of Southern California. Whether you collect Pokémon cards, sports cards, One Piece TCG, vintage memorabilia, or Funko Pops, The SportsBase has something for every level of collector and every budget.
With 100-plus vendors spanning the full range of collectibles, the show floor is genuinely massive for a community-style event. Pokémon card tables are always among the most trafficked at The SportsBase, featuring raw singles and lots, sealed booster boxes and packs, vintage Base Set and Neo Era cards, graded slabs from PSA and CGC, and the latest Scarlet & Violet releases. One Piece TCG has grown dramatically in the Southern California market, and The SportsBase reflects that with multiple dedicated vendors. Sports cards covering MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and international soccer round out the sports collecting side, with everything from inexpensive player lots to premium graded rookies available.
Beyond cards, collectors will find Star Wars memorabilia, Funko Pops (including chase variants and exclusives), retro video games, comics, original sports artwork, and a rotating variety of pop culture collectibles that make every visit to The SportsBase feel fresh. The show has a distinct community energy—this is not a sterile convention center environment but rather a lively, enthusiast-driven gathering where conversations between collectors, dealers, and newcomers flow naturally throughout the weekend.
The event runs both Saturday and Sunday, June 28–29. Daily hours are typically announced through the show's Facebook page and Instagram in the weeks before the event—follow The SportsBase social channels for confirmed open and close times. Admission is free for all attendees, and parking at Sports Basement Long Beach is available at no charge, making this one of the truly zero-cost outings for the whole family.
Sports Basement Long Beach is a well-known retail destination in the city, offering a comfortable and accessible venue with good traffic flow even when the show is at full capacity. The location is easy to reach from throughout the Long Beach metro area and accessible from surrounding communities like Lakewood, Signal Hill, and Carson.
The SportsBase is perfect for families with kids who are just getting into collecting, experienced investors looking for underpriced inventory, and everyone in between. First-timers should bring a trade binder or box of their own cards—swap culture is active at this show and you can turn unwanted cards into want-list additions without spending a dollar. Giveaways and raffles are part of the show's tradition, so check in at the registration desk when you arrive for details on any prizes or special events happening over the weekend.
