What started as a passion for cards, collectibles, gaming, and all things nerd culture has grown into a mission to build something unforgettable for the Northwest hobby community.

Hells Canyon Card Show wasn’t created just for buying and selling cards. It was built for the feeling of opening your favorite pack as a kid, the rush of finding a grail card at a vendor table, the late-night trade talks, the rivalries, the friendships, and the stories collectors tell for years afterward. Because the hobby has always been about more than cardboard — it’s about connection.

From sports cards and Pokémon to retro games, collectibles, memorabilia, and everything in between, this show was designed to bring people together from all walks of life. Whether you’re a lifelong collector with cases full of slabs or a kid walking into your very first card show, you belong here.

What began as a dream in the Lewis-Clark Valley is quickly evolving into something much bigger — a growing community and a future tradition for collectors across the region. The vision is simple: create high-energy events filled with nostalgia, community, competition, and fun that people count down the days to attend.

Years from now, my hope is that people look back and say, “I was there from the beginning.”

Because the best collectibles aren’t always the cards themselves — sometimes it’s the memories made around the table.
