Scotland Card Show 2026: Major Event for Collectors and Fans in Glasgow

The Scotland Card Show will return to the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow on 13 and 14 June 2026, reinforcing the city’s status as an international centre for the trading card scene. The event has earned multiple honours, with recent recognition from the Scottish Event Awards, the UK Start Up Awards, and the International Business Excellence Awards. Since welcoming just 300 attendees in 2022, the show has expanded rapidly and is now projected to attract 10,000 collectors this summer.

The 2026 show represents more than just a gathering of hobbyists and Sports fans; it is a celebration of the booming card trading culture and thriving collectibles industry. The event arrives amidst a surge in independent trading card shops across the country, including Edinburgh’s Poke Cards, Perth’s Out of this Galaxy, and the milestone opening of Pcommando Cards in Stonehouse which has become Scotland’s dedicated sports card specialist and a primary event sponsor.

“This event is dedicated to card enthusiasts in Scotland and around the world. In recent years we’ve welcomed guests from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and across the UK and Ireland,” said Jordan Gorman, Founder of the Scotland Card Show. “From childhood nostalgia to serious card collector exchanges, we are showing that Scotland is a leading player in the global card scene and the event is not to be missed!”

A Star-Studded Lineup: From Pokémon to Pitch

Fans of the Pokémon franchise will experience a unique cultural moment for the city, with voice actors Emily Bauer and Eli James making their first-ever Glasgow appearances. They are joined by international illustrator and concept artist Rianti Hidayat her first appearance in Europe (famed for her work with Disney and Ubisoft) and Glasgow’s own Topps/Upper Deck sketch artist Jamison Murdock.

Sports enthusiasts are equally catered for. Former Scotland captain and Celtic legend Charlie Mulgrew will headline the sports card segment, hosting a free signing session on Saturday, 13th June (2pm–3pm), celebrating the intersection of football nostalgia and the modern memorabilia market.
