CardsNearby Launches Free Nationwide Directory of Card Shows and Local Card Shops for Collectors

Verified listings for more than 4,000 shops and 600 shows help sports card, Pokémon, and trading card game collectors find places to buy, sell, and trade in all 50 states.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Oct. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- CardsNearby has launched a free online directory of card shows and local card shops, giving collectors a single place to find where to buy, sell, and trade cards in their area. The directory covers all 50 states and currently lists more than 4,000 card shops and more than 600 card shows.

Finding accurate information about local card shows has long been a frustration for collectors. Show details are often scattered across social media posts, flyers, and outdated event pages, and shop listings frequently show wrong hours or stores that have closed. CardsNearby addresses this by verifying its listings, so collectors see current information before they make the drive.

Show listings include dates, venues, hours, and table counts, ranging from local trade nights to major events with hundreds of tables. Shop listings include location, hours, ratings, and the games each store carries, including sports cards, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and other trading card games. Collectors can search by city or by their current location, browse a calendar of upcoming shows, and sign up for email alerts when new shows and newly verified shops are added.

In addition to the directory, CardsNearby publishes collector guides, city-by-city lists of the best card shops, and resources for finding card grading services and places to sell cards. The company has also published its 2026 State of Local Card Shops report, available at https://www.cardsnearby.com/reports/state-of-local-card-shops-2026.

Show promoters and shop owners can add a listing for free at https://www.cardsnearby.com/for-vendors.
