About the East Bay Card Show
The East Bay Card Show has already established itself as one of the largest card shows in northern California, serving collectors and dealers in the San Francisco Bay region. The inaugural show debuted in Santa Clara in March 2026 to much success, as it attracted hundreds of attendees who came to buy, sell, and trade cards and other pop culture collectibles during the two-day event. As the show continues to grow, it is also offering celebrity guest appearances, with New York Mets legend Darryl Strawberry taking part in an autograph session on Saturday, October 24. Don't wait, get your tickets today!
A CGC Facilitator and JSA representatives will be accepting submissions, answering questions, and providing information on collectibles certification and autograph authentication services at the show. Bring your favorite collectibles to the show to take advantage of fast turnaround times and save one way on shipping fees! Further instructions on the submission process are below.
