Show Overview
Tampa Bay Sports Card Shows is the Tampa Bay area's go-to recurring card show, held at the Holiday Inn Tampa Westshore near Tampa International Airport. With 80 dealer tables and free admission, this show runs roughly every 2-4 weeks, making it one of the most frequent card shows in Florida.
The show draws dealers from all over Florida and has built a loyal following among Tampa Bay collectors. The inventory covers sports cards, Pokemon, comics, non-sports cards, memorabilia, and more. The Friday-Saturday format gives collectors two shots at the best deals — Friday afternoon for early birds and Saturday morning for the weekend crowd.
Tampa Bay's passionate sports community — Buccaneers, Lightning, Rays, and Rowdies fans — keeps the show floor active with strong demand for local team cards. The convenient Westshore location near the airport and major highways makes it easy to reach from anywhere in the Tampa Bay metro area.
