The 5th Saturday Sports Cards & Collectible Show is a free-admission collector event built around a large table show for hobby fans in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area. The show brings together sports cards, Pokemon, TCGs, autographed items, memorabilia, and other collectibles in a single ballroom-style setting.
Set at World Golf Village Renaissance St. Augustine Resort, the event has the feel of a regional hotel show with enough space for collectors to slow down, compare inventory, and make a day of the hunt. With 140 tables and 80 vendors noted on the flyer, it is positioned as a larger local stop for Northeast Florida collectors.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The show floor is expected to lean heavily into sports cards, with room for modern cards, vintage material, graded and ungraded cards, autographs, and memorabilia. Collectors who prefer trading card games should also have categories to browse, including Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and broader TCGs mentioned in the show notes.
A 140-table layout gives attendees a chance to move beyond a quick pass through a few cases. Vendor tables can mean showcases of higher-end singles, binders of raw cards, value boxes, sealed product, supplies, and mixed collectible finds. As always with local shows, the exact mix depends on what vendors bring, but the listed categories point to a broad card and collectible room rather than a narrow single-category event.
For collectors who like the in-person side of the hobby, that kind of setup matters. It is easier to check corners, surfaces, centering, and signatures in hand, and it gives buyers and sellers a chance to talk through comps, trades, and collection goals in real time.
More Than Just a Card Show
The flyer highlights free admission and free parking, which lowers the barrier for collectors who want to browse without treating the show like a major-trip expense. Several free raffles for $25 gift certificates are also promoted, giving attendees a chance to win show-use credit during the event.
One of the bigger confirmed features is James Spence Authentication on site. Collectors with autographed items can bring them in for JSA review and authentication, which adds a practical reason to make the trip beyond shopping tables. The Orlando Dreamers are also noted in connection with a free raffle for an autographed Johnny Damon baseball and their effort to bring Major League Baseball to Orlando.
The overall atmosphere sounds like a busy but approachable hotel ballroom show: vendor tables, authenticated autographs, collectible displays, raffles, and enough room for collectors to move at their own pace.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
Beginners can use a show like this to learn what different grades, eras, and price ranges look like in person. Seeing cards side by side helps newer collectors understand condition, scarcity, and presentation in a way online photos do not always capture.
Casual collectors can hunt for favorite players, team pieces, affordable singles, or nostalgic finds, while more advanced collectors can compare slabs, negotiate higher-end cards, or bring autographed items for authentication. Families can also approach the event as a relaxed hobby outing, especially with free admission and parking making it easier to stop in without a big commitment.
The mixed category lineup also helps. Someone focused on sports cards can still browse Pokemon or other TCGs, while collectors chasing autographed items or memorabilia can spend time away from card cases when they want a change of pace.
