Coastal Collectors Expo 2026 – Southern California’s Biggest Card Show of the Year
Cards and Collectors began the same way so many great Pokémon adventures do—with a couple of kids at the lunch table, trading cards and chasing the thrill of finding that one card everyone wanted.
Ryan, our founder, started collecting in the late ’90s, when Base Set packs were on store shelves and the original anime had just captured the hearts of millions. Over the years, what began as a childhood hobby evolved into a lifelong passion—one that connected him to incredible people, amazing events, and unforgettable memories.
Fast forward to today, and Cards and Collectors is here to bring that same joy to a global audience. Whether you’re opening your first booster pack or carefully adding to a graded collection, we’re building a place where the excitement never fades.
Our Mission
To connect Pokémon card collectors around the world through:
- A Trusted Marketplace – Buy and sell confidently, knowing our community is built on authenticity and respect.
- Events & Meetups – From local gatherings to large-scale conventions, we create spaces where collectors can connect in person.
- Shared Knowledge – Through blogs, videos, and community forums, we help collectors of all levels learn, grow, and share their passion.
