Main Stage · CardFest Expo 2026
Ever wanted to open a high-end hobby box live on camera next to a sports icon or legendary breaker? Live Stage Break Packs are coming soon — very limited stage spots per break. The packs we'll rip on stage are still TBD.
Stage break spots will let you lock in a pack and step up to the Main Stage when your number is called — mic'd up, live on the stream alongside our celebrity guests. You keep every card inside. Spot sales aren't open yet.
We're planning a live $10 raffle with elite packs set aside for on-the-spot winners. Drop a ten-spot for a chance to get called up and open a grail pack live in front of the crowd. Pack lineup for the stage is still TBD.
Vintage to modern, graded slabs, rookies, and raw cards across NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
Base set classics, modern booster boxes, Japanese rarities, and a massive community trade night vibe.
Autographs, protective supplies, and comic collectibles.
Full access to special guests in a laid-back lounge. No lines or paying for specific autographs — hang out, grab a picture and autograph at your leisure. VIP perks include the private lounge, close-up break access, VIP merch and lanyard, and more!
Trademarked and exclusive to CardFest Expo. The Kids Vault teaches card handling, sleeving, valuation, and grading basics. The Kids Trading Center is just for kids. The Gem Mint Rewards Hub rewards good report cards, sports, art, volunteering, and more. Face painters and surprises too!
Explore The Kids VaultDress up in sports jerseys, Pokémon costumes, or your best look — random prizes all day, especially on the main stage during box break segments.
CardFest Expo isn't just a room full of tables — it's a live entertainment experience. From high-stakes pack rips to meeting your hometown heroes, here's what's happening live on the CardFest Main Stage.
Break spots and VIP tickets that include a pack will be available closer to the show — online when sales open, or live at the venue upon entry.

Every card pulled from your designated pack is yours to keep, sleeved on the spot right then and there!
Tons of prizes, merch, cards, packs and more given away at any time — stay near the stage for your chance to win.
