The Game City Collectible Card's Show gives Daytona Beach, Florida collectors a free Saturday afternoon destination for buying, selling, and trading. The October 24 occurrence belongs to Game City's weekly collectible and card show series, bringing several collecting interests together at Volusia Mall.
The setting offers a useful starting point for a first visit: head inside the mall and look for Game City. The organizer describes the gathering as being in front of the store near its large character display. Allow time to find that area after arriving at the property, especially if you have not visited this part of the mall before.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The advertised series spans Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, and sports cards, alongside broader collectibles. That variety makes the show relevant to households or collecting groups with different interests. Someone focused on a trading card game can browse the same gathering as a friend who follows sports, without either needing to commit to a separate convention.
Treat that category list as the show's scope rather than a promise about a particular seller's stock. If your trip depends on one game, specific card, or particular collectible, check Game City's latest announcements before leaving. A weekly series can establish a consistent meeting place while still having different merchandise from one Saturday to the next.
Buying, selling, and trading are all part of the organizer's description. If you want to offer cards, ask an individual seller whether they are buying or considering trades before unpacking a collection. A seller's willingness to discuss an exchange is separate from reserving a vendor space, and bringing a binder does not mean you have permission to set up a selling table.
More Than Just a Card Show
The weekly Saturday format is the defining feature here. It gives the local collecting community a recurring place to meet, rather than asking everyone to wait for an occasional larger event. For October 24, the public browsing window is noon to 5 PM, making this an afternoon visit that can fit around other Saturday plans.
Public admission is free. Paid reservations associated with the show are for vendors, so the presence of a ticket price should not be confused with the cost of walking in to browse. Anyone interested in selling from a reserved space should review the organizer's vendor arrangements separately from attendee admission.
The organizer describes the series as running rain or shine at the mall. Once you arrive, focus on locating Game City's show area rather than assuming every card-related activity elsewhere on the property belongs to this event. The storefront is the useful meeting point to save when coordinating with friends or family.
Volusia Mall also lists shopping and dining options on its own website. That can help when planning a meal around the visit, particularly if your group wants different amounts of time at the show. Check individual businesses for their hours rather than assuming their schedules match the card show. Mall operating hours and the show's browsing hours are separate.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
The organizer explicitly welcomes collectors, vendors, buyers, sellers, and traders, including people just getting started. Free entry gives a newcomer room to look around and understand the format before deciding whether to make a purchase. You can visit with a specific collecting interest or simply see which advertised categories are represented that afternoon.
For a family visit, the mix of sports cards and several TCGs provides a practical way to accommodate different interests. Start by finding the show together and choosing a meeting point near Game City. The mall setting makes that more useful than assuming everyone will remain within sight of a single table.
Experienced collectors can use the same afternoon for focused conversations about the categories they follow. Ask what a seller brought that day, whether trades are welcome, and how they prefer to handle items offered for inspection. Those conversations help establish what is actually available without assuming the full advertised series lineup appears at every table.
Before traveling, check Game City's latest update through the "Official Source" link or organizer profile. The linked series page may display later Saturday dates, so keep October 24 saved as the occurrence you intend to attend. Plan your arrival around the show window rather than the mall's later closing time.

The Game City Collectible Card's Show offers Daytona Beach and the surrounding area a free afternoon centered on cards, collectibles, and local hobby connections.
