Pete/Clearwater. Tampa Card Show by the Bay — Dec 26, 2026

Card Show by the Bay is a two-day card show in St. Petersburg, Florida, with more than 100 dealer tables and a broad mix: sports cards, non-sports cards, Pokémon, comics and memorabilia. Dealers come from all over Florida, the floor is set up for buying, selling and trading, and admission is $2 with kids free. It suits collectors who want a wide-ranging cards-and-collectibles floor that doesn't cost much to walk.

What you'll find on the floor

The headline is sports cards, but the show is not limited to them. Non-sports cards, Pokémon, comics and memorabilia share the room, so a visitor hunting for a Pokémon binder filler and a visitor chasing a football rookie can both be served in one trip. With 100+ tables on the schedule for the upcoming dates, the show is big enough to shop around and still small enough to cover in a morning.

Dates and hours

Shows run Saturday and Sunday, with the Saturday session from 10 AM to 4 PM and the Sunday session from 9 AM to 3 PM. Every date on the calendar is at Hilton Carillon Park.

Earlier editions on May 9, June 20 and July 4, 2026 were held at the same hotel.

Vendor tables and rules

Table pricing covers both days: one table is $135, two tables are $250 and three tables are $350. The rate drops per table as you add more, so a dealer planning a larger display saves by booking together. Tables are reserved by calling or texting 813-390-3687 or by emailing [email protected].

Getting there

The show is at Hilton Carillon Park, 950 Lake Carillon Drive, St Petersburg, FL 33716, just off SR 688 (Ulmerton Road). It sits between St. Petersburg and Clearwater, and several card and game stores are within a short drive, including Supreme Cards in Clearwater (about 0.3 miles away), Critical Hit Games in St. Petersburg (about 2 miles), and Titan Cards & Games in Pinellas Park (about 4 miles). That makes it easy to pair the show with a stop at a local shop.

Who it suits

Card Show by the Bay fits casual collectors and families who want a low-cost, low-pressure floor, since admission is $2 and kids are free. It also suits Florida dealers who want a hotel-venue show in the Tampa Bay area with transparent two-day table rates and a multi-category crowd that is not strictly sports-only.
