Two hundred tables of sports cards and trading card games fill a hall on the UWF campus, with more than a hundred vendors in from five states to buy, sell and trade. Anyone fifteen and under gets in free, so a kid can work a table with five dollars and come out with something. The vendor list runs from vintage baseball to Pokémon: DJ's Vintage Cards and Collectibles, Big Hit Sportscards, Card Sharks and Bargain Sports Collectibles on the sports side, PokéPal Collectibles and 850 Pokestop on the TCG side, and PCOLABREAKS running breaks. The organisers run this show at the same building each time and put a share of it behind the Rally Foundation, which funds childhood cancer research.
Before you go
- Building 72 on the UWF campus, not the main entrance
- Bring cash: most tables take it and some take nothing else
- Fifteen and under walk in free, so the five dollars is the grown-up's
- Selling? Tables are Michael on 850-516-4981 or cardsonthecoastshow@gmail.com. The price is not published and the August show sold out
What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-09-05.
The show's own flyer prints "$5 ADMISSION" and "AGES 15 AND UNDER ENTER FREE!". Ten dollars is two adults. Everything on the tables is priced by the vendor selling it, and that is the real cost of the day.
⚠️ The organiser's own home page still shows December 5th. The flyer says December 12, and a Pensacola show calendar independently lists Cards on the Coast on Saturday December 12, 9 AM to 4 PM at 11000 University Parkway for $5, so December 12 is the date to plan around. A separate show, the 850 Card Show, runs December 4 and 5 at the Bay County Fairgrounds in Panama City, which may be where the other date comes from. One call to Michael on 850-516-4981 settles it.
Same venue every time: the August 2026 show was in the same Building 72 on University Parkway, and a 2025 edition ran in Pensacola on September 27. This is not a travelling show.
