- Hobby Hangout (520 Card Show) Next: Oct 3-4 · Kino Sports Complex, Tucson. Monthly show run by the 520 Card Show team at Kino Sports Complex; October's vendor tables sold out. The next date shows up only in the vendor-table product names; the 'remaining 2026 schedule' has no readable dates. The team's larger University of Arizona show is marked postponed.
- Tucson Card Fest Next: Oct 10 · Tucson Mall, center court, Tucson. Free show in the Tucson Mall run by Presidio Comics, which has its shop in the mall; about 100 tables, mostly TCG. This is the third one. The page gives the date without a year, and other details are in flyer images.

FAQ
Where can I sell cards in Tucson?
For sports cards, Showtime Cards buys, and Overtime Sports buys and trades too. For Pokémon, Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh!, Amazing Discoveries has a buylist, and The Arcanum Sanctorum takes cards for store credit only. Ask what percentage of market price they pay before you hand anything over. See where to sell Pokémon cards for what to expect.
Which Tucson card shops sell Pokémon cards?
All of them. For a store built around trading card games, with singles and weekly events, try IRL Cards on Grant Rd, Nimbus Cards & Games on the east side, Amazing Discoveries on Tucson Blvd or The Arcanum Sanctorum on Oracle Rd. Nimbus runs a weekly Pokémon League.
Can I get cards graded in Tucson?
Nimbus Cards & Games takes grading orders through TAG and BGS. We didn’t find a Tucson shop that submits to PSA, so for PSA you’ll need to mail cards in or hand them over at a larger show. See how to ship cards for grading and what grading costs.
Is there a card shop open late in Tucson?
IRL Cards is open until 10 PM most nights (closed Tuesdays), and Amazing Discoveries is open until 10 PM on weekdays. The Arcanum Sanctorum stays open until 10 PM on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Showtime Cards and Overtime Sports close around 6 PM most days.
