The Philly Non-Sports Card Show has come a long way since 1984! Moving to the more spacious Hall B of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA, it celebrated its 80th show from May 18-19, 2024. Among this year’s notable guests were trading card artists Joe Simko, James Warhola, David Gross, Ted Dastick Jr., and Ryan Harris, as well as Topps Star Wars editor Gary Gerani and trading card manufacturers Cryptozoic Entertainment & Rittenhouse Archives.
The exhibitors at the 80th Philly Non-Sports Card Show were better than ever, with over 100 tables offering a wide range of Garbage Pail Kids, movie/television/music cards, gum cards, cigar cards, wild west & war cards, Rittenhouse & Leaf autograph cards, original art sketch cards, and a great selection of TCG products from brands like Pokemon, Bandai, Disney Lorcana, UniVersus, Weiss Schwarz, and Magic: The Gathering. Not only are there affordable singles to riffle through, but plenty of packs, boxes, tins, graded cards, full sets, and uncut sheets too:
Diehard completists will also be thrilled to come across rarities like wax wrappers, box toppers, and other packaging for sale. And with familiar exhibitor names like Alternate Universes, Nerdvana, Chiba’s Collectibles, Rounding Up TCG, and Legends Collectibles Comics & Toys, you never know what grails you might find!
Admission was $12 for a single day pass, or $20 for both days… with plenty to see and do for collectors of all ages! Whether it’s spinning GPK & Wacky Warehouse’s prize wheel (above) or scoring freebies like show exclusive promo cards & entering all-day raffles, you could be walking away with a whole lot more than you expected. In fact, at the Philly Non-Sports Card Show there’s more than just cards: vintage & modern comic books, board games, signed CDs, action figures & Funko Pops, video games, election campaign paraphernalia, currency… you name it!
Not to mention all of the trading card supplies you’ll ever need for storage, organization, and display. Pick up products like sleeves, top loaders, pages, binders, One-Touch holders, and so much more!
