If you’ve ever seen or attended a comic book convention, think of a card show as the equivalent for trading card games. At most UK card shows you’ll find a great mix of vendors selling a variety of items such as sealed products, graded cards, single cards, accessories and more. There is usually a designated area for guests to open products, trade or even play TCG’s.
