About Card Show Dex
Our Story
Learn why Card Show Dex exists, how listings are curated, and how we are building a dependable card show calendar city by city.
The Problem
Why Card Show Dex Was Created
Card Show Dex is a hyperlocal trading card show calendar built to make it easier to find card shows in your city without having to search through ads, social media posts, or scattered websites.
If you have ever found out about a card show after it already happened, you are not alone. That frustration is exactly why Card Show Dex exists.
One big frustration
Card show info was scattered across social posts, ads, store pages, and word of mouth.
As interest in trading cards continues to grow, especially Pokemon, sports cards, and other TCGs, local event discovery is still fragmented and inconsistent.
Card Show Dex was created to solve that problem by consolidating local card show information into one clear, reliable, and easy to browse calendar.
What Sets Us Apart
What Makes Card Show Dex Different
Search engines and social media are useful for general discovery, but they are not designed specifically for tracking local card shows. Card Show Dex is meant to be a dependable reference you can check regularly.
City Based Discovery
Find card shows in your area without digging through unrelated results or social media noise.
Clear Calendar View
A clean, browsable calendar layout so you can quickly see what is coming up and plan ahead.
Relevant Details
Every listing includes the details card hobbyists actually care about: date, location, time, and more.
Reliable Listings
Every event is reviewed before publishing. No spam, no outdated posts, no guessing.
Our Approach
Hyperlocal by Design
Card Show Dex is built around the idea that local accuracy matters. Each city is treated as its own area, with the goal of providing the most accurate and up to date list of card shows for that location.
Being hyperlocal helps reduce missed events, irrelevant listings, and outdated information.
